In Father's Help by R.K.Narayan,what was the effect of Swami's late?
Answers
Cent understand the question dude !!!
n Father’s Help by R.K. Narayan we have the theme of honesty, pity, aggression, imagination, guilt, stubbornness and fear. Taken from his Malgudi Days collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Narayan may be exploring the theme of pity. Swami as he is walking to school begins to feel sorry for Samuel. He believes that he will lose his job and go to prison even though he doesn’t know exactly what is in the letter his father has written. It is also noticeable that Swami is not being honest when it comes to Samuel. The story he told his father about Samuel is untrue and is based on hearsay from a generation of pupils who have been taught by Samuel. Despite this Swami is adamant that he will justify his father’s letter though again he does not know what his father has written. If anything Swami has allowed his imagination run wild when he has described Samuel to his father. Though it is true that Swami is caned by Samuel later on in the story this is more a case of Swami provoking Samuel in order that Samuel is expelled from his job and to justify bringing the letter to the headmaster.
i hope it helps
