Ruskin Bond is an outstanding contemporary Indian English writer. In fact, he is a living legend who has portrayed life and experiences through different genres of Literature. His writings are equally popular among the children and adults. Besides, his writings revolve around the subjects of love, pets, animals, orphans and abnormal children, Indians, nature and contemporary life. There is always something valuable and dearest in everyone’s life, without which he/she cannot live. But, with the passage of time, he/she has to give up that thing. In other words, one has to compromise with situation when life comes near death. In this context, Ruskin Bond’s Angry River is quite suitable. The paper aims at exploring the varied dimensions of human character and the sense of compromise in Angry River. It will examine how Sita starts leading her life in the state of compromise without that doll. It will also explain the changes in Sita’s behaviour and conduct with time, as situations change in her life.
