Explanation:
Muni. Muni, an old and desperately poor man, is the protagonist of the story. Once he was prosperous, with a large flock of sheep, but a series of misfortunes have left him with only two scrawny goats. He and his wife have almost no income and no children to help take care of them.
Answer:
The main characters of the short story “A Horse and Two Goats” by R.K. Narayan are Muni – the old Indian, and the American tourist. In the short story, there is also a mention of a village headman, but he is an absent character and has very little relevance to the plot. Additionally, you should note that in the original version of the story, Muni’s wife is also mentioned in the introduction.
Muni
Muni is an old Indian Man living in a very small village in India.
Outer characterisation
The depiction of his physical traits is done directly by the narrator who describes him as “an old man” (p. 1, l. 24).
...
Inner characterisation
Regarding inner characterisation, Muni’s personality traits are revealed through the way he talks, the content of his conversation and the way he acts.
The Indian comes across as a very typical village man. He does not have any general knowledge about the world, as he never heard of New York (p. 185, ll. 15-16) and lives a confined life in his small isolated village.
...
The American tourist
The American tourist’s character is constructed in opposition to the Indian man, to explore cultural clashes.
Outer characterisation
In terms of outer characterisation he is depicted as a “red-faced man” (p. 185, l. 7) wearing “a khaki-coloured shirt and shorts” (p. 184, l. 31).
...
Inner characterisation
As with Muni’s depiction, the American’s inner characterisation is mostly done indirectly through the way he talks, what he talks about and his overall attitude.
