Character Sketche of Maggie and Gerta
Answers
Alice Margaret Clifford is one of the vibrant characters in the story'The Price of the flowers' written by a Bengali novelist Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay . Maggie is a little girl who falls upon the thorns of life in her early age.
She is thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyes are wide and large. Hardness of her life can be found in her eyes and clothing. They had a sad expression. She has a widowed mother and a brother who was working as a soldier in British India. Maggie is working as a typist in a civil service store. She works hard to keep the pot boiling. Her mother also helps her to make the ends meet. This is not a single story. But it embraces the love, care, affection, sacrifice, optimism, boldness and so on. One day Maggie came across an Indian named Gupta.she asked him a lot about India. She was very eager to know about her brother. She showed Gupta a crystal ring sent by Frank on her birthday as a token of love. When her mother was confined to bed, the crystal ring helped her to get her back to life. When she knew Frank departed forever, she kept her balance at all time.she went to meet Gupta and gave a shilling to buy some flowers .And she asked him to place it on the tomb. That shilling is not just an amount, but it is the true love of Maggie for her brother. I am sure that this story and little Maggie do not fade from our memory. The writer has succeeded to arouse deep emotions in our mind through Maggie.
