How did the grandmother react when the author went abroad for higher studies? what does it reveal about her prsonality
Answers
Answer:
She is there to see her grandson off to a foreign country, she is there to welcome him back- but all this with a very dignified and mature indifference, putting to rest all apprehensions on how she might react. This is not easy because the author’s travel to the foreign land is considered a major taboo by the value system in which grandmother believes. But she still shows up for him on both occasions of departure and arrival, fighting back her own qualms and accepting the changing trends and values, with resignation.
Hope this answer helped!
Explanation:
The narrator had expected his grandmother to be very sad on his going abroad however, it was not so. She was not at all sentimental at his leaving the house. She kissed him on the forehead and bid him good bye, consistently praying and telling?the beads of her rosary, but did not act the way the narrator had thought she would. This shows that she was strong in her approach. Also, she knew that she would be around when the narrator would return therefore, she need not be upset. This creates a mystical aura about her where she is not only a strong-willed person but could also anticipate her future.
