Here are questions that I am going to answer in m

 List down the contradictory symbols you observed in the episode “Raat Rani”.

The contradictory symbol of the Taj Mahal is here in the episode Raat Raani, here it has been put in order to satirize the love of Laali and Lutfi, they both have married each other by choice, also the symbol here is satirizing the very concept of love in the societies because of which the individuals suffer.

Here are two contradictory images which are showing different states of the life of Laali when she was not at all able to think of life without Lutfi and found difficulties in living, that the facial expressions clearly shows the fear on her face in the first frame while Another frame is significantly showing confidence and happiness on her face that she is happy and able to live without Lutfi.

Which is your favorite symbol from Raat Rani? Why?

My favorite symbol from Raat Raani is the painting of Laali's terrace that she glorified for herself. The painting over her bed in the room is symbolizing that Laali has accepted her right to be happy and free without anyone where in India if a women becomes a widow, they think that they don't have right to be happy or there is no one. that they can be happy for. If women become or trying to make themselves happy and free, society plays a vital role in remembering them about their loss of the loved ones.

 Buisness of Laali: Work to earn is something what everyone must have no matter who is the person if we want to survive in the world of Money, Money is necessary. This is the way Laali got confidence that she can survive without anyone.

Compare and write a note on all the female characters from Raat Rani.

The two female characters of the episode are Laali and the lady who gave her a job, they both helped each other as the lady gave her headphones and shoes but what Laali was giving to her is something more precious than the money, It was the Idea of ​​Freedom that Laali was planting in the mind of this lady by doing business alone.

Conclusion : That is how Laali got the very idea of ​​Independence and implied in her life. At the end Laali challenges some rigid rules of society where many things like going out at night is not allowed, love marriage is not allowed, being happy is not allowed! by being happy and independent at her own.

Thanks for visiting, keep learning, be independent!
