INTRODUCTION TO THE CHARACTER
 Samant is a local villager.
 He lives with his brother and sister – in –law.
 He is a unmarried man.
Now we see in detailed about the character samant based on three
questions.
1. what do other’s say about the character samant?
2. what does samant do?
3. what does samant speak?
samant is a clever person.
Sukhatme: Now Mr. Samant
Come. You just have to answer –-
Samant: the question I’m asked.
Sukhatme :How clever you are! (pg:no:41)
samant is a gentleman.
Samant: Never at all. What’s the matter?
Mrs kashikar: Look here Benare. What do you think of this gentleman as the fourth-witness?
Benare: This gentleman? I think he’s lovely! (pg:no:18)
2. What does samant do?
In Act 3 (stage direction)
At the end of the scene, all other characters withdraw with silent steps
into the next room. In a heard behind him.Benare was only on the stage
samant by door watching her.Samant was embrassed and comes near Benare.Looking
at her,he is overcome by feelings.He unable to restrain himself he stops some
distance from Benare. He calls out indistinctly”Miss…… .But she does not hear.Samant
is again more trouble.Then he goes out gently.
By this we can understand two things they are:-
 Samant’s Maturity.
Sukhatme: Mr. Samant, you have been called as fourth-witness
for today’s living law court. (pg:no:18)
 He do this role against Benare on behalf of Prof.Damle.
Sukhatme: Now, Mr. Samant.
Samant: (standing up , distrustful and confused) Did you say me?
Sukhatme: come.
Don’t be scared. You just have to answer--- (pg:no:41)
Karnik: The crime itself is imaginary.
Ponkshe: Only the accused is real!
Samant: There! Now I’m in a mess! After half an Hour, I reached Prof.Damle’s room.
The prisoner and Prof.Damle. Room…..evening….
The door was locked! Not from the outside but inside.And I banged the door.
No,that’s wrong.I rang the bell.The door opend.An unknown man stood before
me. Prof. Damle! I was seeing him for the first time. (pg:no:43)
Samant: Why not get it over with, Miss Benare? It’s all a game. (pg:no:51)
 This prove that Samant’s evidence is a completely imaginary one.
Samant says himself as an ignorant.
Samant: Mr.Kashikar…. But I didn’t quite catch it.
Karnik: The charge ? Infanticide.
Samant: That’s right. I just don’t understand,……..I’m just an ignorant person. (pg:no:26)
Samant is not a completely illiterate man.
Samant: you’re quite right. The great sage Tukaram said…..at least I think it was him. (pg:no8)
Samant: Our dear teacher used to say the same thing. (pg:no:9)
 Here he speak about the great sage Tukaram and his teacher.
so, this two pharses proofs that Samant is not a complete illiterate man.
Tendulkar has portrayed Samant as an innocent, kind and gentle-hearted person in silence! the
court is in session. He use the figure of Samant to drive a wedge between the notion of justice and
the institution of the court.
 In Act 1, he shows the nature of Samant.
 In Act 2, he shows Samant’s imaginary evidence.
 In Act 3, he shows how mature the character is.
Overall his role in this play , “The figure of the simple hearted villager. He is adeptly handled by
the dramatist, as the urban character“ Thus , Tendulkar explores the rich possibilities of the play
through the character Samant.
