انسان ابلیس یا فرشتہ: منٹو کا زاویۂ نگاہ

  • Dr. Rubina Yasmeen

Abstract

The article under review encompasses two extreme dimensions of human psyche; his cherubic and satanic instincts, depicted by Manto in his short stories. It is analyzed in the backdrop of certain characters from his stories that man is prone to oscillate between these two extremes and may turn at any moment towards any one of these dimensions. This capacity to be an angel or vice versa is innate in his nature. However, he can't be coined as an angel or a devil exclusively but presents an intricate blend of both extremes in his unpredictable existence.
