another character

yet another character i stumbled upon at partho ghosh's kalbela. a woman who falls in love with a naxal and produces a child out of wedlock as the man wants to bring another possibility of change in the world.man drifts away towards his core ideologues and persuit of what he things as bigger goals of life while she is left to her fate in urban slum. man  is released 15 years later from the jail where he comes out paralyzed after police atrocities and revisits the woman. ...some changes ...woman is a poet and she doesnt come out and move to slum in the hands of fate but joins this previous character in constructing this space that houses runaways, they are in a relationship, and in a sense this man's persistent silence completes the woman's anguish....what does this women bring, i would want to say a left of left approach, a fresh perspective on romantics, that had a different outlook to world and another to their interpersonal relations, she brings a question that i felt ghosh missed in the film, a possibility of fighting daily battles of staying true to the core.....what would i call her.....i do not know...
