Question

lesson The HomeComm​

Answer 1

Answer:

In The Homecoming by Rabindranath Tagore we have the theme of conflict, control, responsibility, love and isolation. Taken from his Collected Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and from the beginning of the story the reader realises that Tagore may be exploring the theme of conflict. Makhan will not listen to Phatik when he tells him to get off the log. If anything Makhan is being defiant though he does pay a price for his defiance. Phatik and his friends roll the log over and Makhan falls off. This causes Makhan to hit Phatik and it is interesting that Phatik doesn’t retaliate. However this is not how Phatik’s mother sees things when Makhan returns home and tells his version of events. Phatik is the one who is blamed for hitting his brother and bringing conflict into the home. What is also interesting about Phatik’s mother is the fact that she has no control over him. He is not necessarily doing things that are dangerous or overly wrong. He is acting as many fourteen year old boys would do. Something which is too much for Phatik’s anything Phatik is not allowed to be a young adolescence boy by his mother. Which might be the reason why she is only too pleased to have Bishambar take him to Calcutta. The reader aware that Phatik’s mother is unable to manage him. Something that is her fault and not Phatik’s.
