Question

explain the phrase unfurl underfoot to fulfil itself​

Answer 1

‘Unfurl underfoot to fulfil itself’

This phrase is used in the poem ‘The Grass is Really Like Me’ written by Kishwar Naheed.

Unfurl — means spreading out from being curled.

When someone walks on the grass or stamps it underfoot, the curled grass would spread to become straight on the ground. This is the literal meaning of the sentence.

The author uses such a phrase to describe as to how women are pressed down by worldly factors and men, just to resemble themselves that they are women. So to fulfil the nature of their gender, women are unfurled like the grass.

Answer 2

Answer:

The phrase “unfurl underfoot to fulfill itself” ​means that something is suppressed and it can bloom.

• In the poem the women are compared with the grass.
• The grass was on the ground and people walk on those grass.
• Similarly women are pushed down by the men and cannot be able to show their real capability.
