Discuss the charecters of the blind girl and the narrator in the story 'The Eyes Have It' by Ruskin Bond
Answers
Answer:
he Eyes Have It is an excellent short story written by Ruskin Bond. The narrator of this short story gives his experience in a train journey. The span or duration of the story is very short. We find two main characters- a young man and a young girl. They met each other in a train compartment. Both of them are blind. The young man discloses his blindness to the readers. But he tries to keep his blindness hidden to the girl. He is unaware of the fact that the girl is also blind. The man tries to converse with the girl.
He also tries to impress the girl. He himself is charmed with the sound of her voice. After a short conversation she gets down from the train compartment. Even after the conversation the narrator couldn’t know that the girl is blind. From a new co-passenger he comes to know that the girl is completely blind. Here the irony lies. This irony makes the story so charming. He ultimately realises that he has deceived himself. The story “The Eyes Have It” is highly suggestive.
