Question

Bring out the element of humour in the story Nitya

Answer 1

Answer:

The only element of humor which could be brought out in this story was the concept of how irony would hit Nitya the leading character for not wanting to thank God for saving his life. Indeed, it was his parents who made the promise of thanking God for saving their sons life however the feeling of being ungrateful to God on part by Nitya is astonishing and funny in a way. He being selfish and standing up for himself takes the narrative to a rather liberal view, but by not being a  believer to a believer this would sound ironic and may generate humor too.

Explanation:

In the story Nitya by R.K Narayan, the theme is that of selfishness, belief, tradition, respect, connection,modernity, control and independence.
