Rudyard Kipling, born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, British India, was a prolific author and poet, widely regarded for his contributions to English literature. Kipling's diverse body of work is characterized by his vivid storytelling and mastery of verse. His experiences in British-colonized India profoundly influenced his writing, shaping his themes of imperialism and East-West encounters. Kipling's 'Love-o'-Women', a short story, is one among his many works that delve into the complexities of human relationships and the societal norms of his time. Notable for his innovation in short-story narration, Kipling is perhaps best known for his children's classic, 'The Jungle Book' (1894), and the novel 'Kim' (1901), both of which offer an intricate portrayal of colonial India. His poem 'If—' (1910) remains a touchstone of inspiration, encapsulating the stoic Victorian virtues of fortitude and stoicism. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, Kipling's literary genius was recognized early in his career, even as his imperialist views have since called for critical reappraisal. Despite this, Kipling's influence on the literary canon endures, and his works continue to be analyzed and appreciated for their linguistic artistry and narrative skill (Wilson, 1977; Ricketts, 1999).
