Question

Explain the characterstics of grandmother in the portrait of a lady

Answer 1

In this story, the narrator maintains that his grandmother "could never have been pretty, but she was always beautiful." The narrator's grandmother was an extremely religious woman. To the narrator, his grandmother was beautiful because she exuded "peace and contentment." Hers was an inner beauty rather than a physical one. Physically, she was "short and fat and slightly bent." Her face was a "criss-cross of wrinkles running from everywhere to everywhere." She was not conventionally attractive; that is why he says that she was not pretty.However, he maintains that she was beautiful because she was kind, warm, loving, attentive, and caring. In his childhood years, the narrator lived with his grandmother. He describes her as a good friend. She would wake him up on school days and prepare him a simple breakfast of chapatti with a little butter and sugar. The narrator remembers that his grandmother always handed him his pen, earthen ink-pot, and wooden slate in a bundle after breakfast. They would then walk to school together. Since the narrator's school was connected to a temple, his grandmother would study the scriptures in the temple while he attended school. He relates that his life continued in this fashion until his parents sent for him. Although his grandmother followed him to the city, he never walked to school with her again; instead, he rode to school on a bus. He admits that his relationship with his grandmother changed from that point forward. This is because she could no longer assist him with his homework; he had begun to study subjects that were beyond her expertise and experience. Additionally, his grandmother, a very religious woman, disapproved of him taking music lessons.
