How can you say that concluding part of the poem(my mother at 66) reflects artificial behavior of the poetess
Answers
Explanation:
The poet is driving from her parents home to Cochin by car, her mother by her side—sleeping – open mouthed very pale, colorless and frail-like a dead body
•The poet looks at her and feels intense pain and agony to realize that soon death will cast her
mother from her.
• Tries to divert her mind, looks outside at the young trees and happy children bursting out of
their homes in a playful mood (a contrasting image) • After the security check at the airport looked again at her mother’s face—pale and cold. • “Familiar ache-My childhood fear” –the poet has always had a very intimate and close
relationship with her mother and she has always felt the fear of being separated from her
mother hence it is familiar. • The poet reassures her mother that they will meet again
