Tagore’s writing style in “The Postmaster” shifts between matter-of-fact, direct language and evocative, imagery-driven descriptions (primarily of the weather and other elements of the natural world). The following passage—which comes after the Postmaster tells Ratan he is leaving Ulapur for good—demonstrates Tagore’s varied writing style:
Ratan did not question him further. The postmaster himself told her that he had applied for a transfer, but his application had been rejected; so he was resigning from his post and returning home. For several minutes, neither of them spoke. The lamp flickered weakly; through a hole in the crumbling thatched roof, rain-water steadily dripped on to an earthenware dish. Ratan then went slowly out to the kitchen to make some chapati. She made them with none of her usual energy.
