Explanation:
Muni’s Wife
Character Analysis
A long-suffering woman who is childless and impoverished, Muni’s wife must worry each day about obtaining enough food to eat for the couple. It is often she who must go out and perform odd jobs to earn enough money to buy food as Muni, with his negative reputation in the village, is denied food and other items on credit from the local shopkeeper. Although readers may assume that Muni’s wife originally began working outside the home for reasons related to survival, Muni suggests that she now wields greater power over her husband as the primary breadwinner in the family. Muni’s wife reveals that patriarchal norms in Indian society are highly complex and nuanced, as she exerts more influence as the breadwinner in her family despite her ostensibly low status in society as a woman.
Answer:
Muni's wife was really very supportive as she never questioned or blamed Muni for his failures. Although she appeared to be a little rude from outside sometimes but she was really a kind hearted wife. She loved her husband a lot and cared for him too
Child marriage was prevalent as in the case of Muni and his wife. Women were honoured as seen as nurturers but they needed a man to support them. Muni knew his wife would garner the raw materials and prepare his drumstick gravy. He was worried what would happen to her after his death.
