Answer:
"Tevye and the Fiddler" is a novel by Sholem Aleichem which tells the story of a poor milkman named Tevye, his family and community, as they try to survive and preserve their traditions in the face of poverty, anti-Semitism and other challenges. I am assuming you are referring to the stage adaptation of this story, "Fiddler on the Roof" which is a musical.
The two women whom Tevye met in the forest are the fiddler, who is a non-Jewish, traveling musician, and the matchmaker, Yente, who is a member of the Jewish community.
Tevye, is a traditionalist, who believes in the importance of preserving his family's traditions and customs and follows the rules of his faith, He is a poor milkman, who is also the father of five daughters and the head of his household.
The fiddler, on the other hand, represents the outside world and the idea of change and breaking with tradition. He is not Jewish, does not follow the same customs as Tevye, and is a wanderer, not tied to any one place or community. He represents the idea of freedom and individuality.
Yente, the matchmaker, is a member of the Jewish community, but she is seen as the embodiment of conventional thinking and the status quo. She is a person who arranges marriages and is not opposed to arranged marriages, and she is a person who follows the traditions closely, but lacks compassion and is focused on getting a good match.
In summary, Tevye, the fiddler and Yente, represent different aspects of Jewish society in pre-revolutionary Russia. Tevye represents the traditional values, customs and the struggle to preserve them, while the fiddler represents the outside influence and the idea of change.
