comment on the significance of the title .the poem Marriages are Made by Eunice de souze
Answers
Answer:
The poem “Marriages Are Made” written by Eunice de Souza is about the way the marriages are executed in the society of India. The poet talks about the marriage of her cousin sister. She explains ironically the nature of Indian society towards the institution of marriage. It is also clearly seen through the poem that the role of a girl in a marriage is next to be negligible. She is not allowed to speak or say anything. All the decision is taken by the family and society. The title of the poem is significant because, for the marriages, the feelings and love between the girl and the boy are not considered, rather the relation is reduced only in monetary values. The process of marriage starts from scrutinizing the family history of the girl and to find out the financial condition of her father as well. Girls are only considered as a commodity in the Indian society and their marriages are a phase of being bought and exchanged in monetary terms. Since India is a male-dominated society and therefore the girl's decision is not taken into consideration. This poem is the reflection of the Indian society which does not value girls.
