Unveiling Existential Crisis: A Journey of Life and Death in Jibanananda Das's Poem “Aat Bochor Ager Ekdin”.

Abstract

Jiabnanda Das is a detached soul who always finds out the inner words of humans' unspoken affairs with their own lives. Entirely his poem utter the most hidden emotion of the people where the ordinary people can not reach or figure out the meaning. His philosophy is charismatic country-wide and the popular narrative compared to the other existential writers like Satre and Alber Camus. Throughout his poetry, a mysterious smell is seen that always thinks about the philosophy of life and death. This paper delves into the best philosophical concept connecting Das’s poetry specifically in “Aat Bocor Ager Ekdin”. In his Poem, he deals with vivid imagery, metaphor, and the narrating story of an unknown personality who committed suicide for an unknown reason though he has everything to live his own life—following his story of how he dissociated with the real world. This existential crisis makes his poem very rich and deep. Throughout this paper, we try to find out the reason behind the poem and the philosophical approach that Das used in most of the poetry. At the same time, we will compare other philosophical views that existential writers used.
