Answer:
The narrator of the story is the owner of the road engine. He was known as the talkative man. He was smart for he worked out a deal to get get transport means for himself. He did so by talking to Gymkhana Grounds and making a deal with him. He was a poor man who asked for help from friends from time to time. Such as he asked for help during the payment of the rent for the engine. This man had to face many issues like being charged for moving the vehicle.
Explanation:
The engine trouble by RK Narayan is taken from his Malgudi Days where the narrator brings the theme of practicality and hope into his work.
The narrator is a very confused man as he feels lucky for having the road engine at first but he later realizes that it has caused him nothing but pain and regret in return. This shows the dual sidedness of the narrator as he speaks and the fact that he is too lazy to do anything about it shows how irresponsible he is with the engine.
He, therefore, leaves his responsibilities and depends on the luck by chance factor that someday he would get rid of his motor. This shows the dual sidedness of narrator where he hopes as well as leaves everything on luck to happen.
