Answer: pls tell which grade i will help
Explanation:
Answer:
The poem starts with the protagonist buying ‘Methi’ in the market choosing the freshest bunch available. She wants to buy white radish but puts it back thinking it as an extravagance. She comes back to home and starts her daily work of cooking. Her mother-in law gives her dark looks and curses. The woman is unnamed who is representative of every oppressed woman in the society. She is busy in her work and she is silent.
The woman silently endures every inhuman treatment. Her husband comes and the woman is shown as bending more, looking downward to her work. Her husband is called as a strange man which shows the unhealthy relationship between them.
The woman is uncomplaining and going through the traumatic conditions in her life.While cooking she is shielding her face from the heat. The usual curses are shown like birds beating their wings against the woman. She did not look up to the man. ‘Nothing have her right to speak’
The only thing which is bright in the poem is flame of the stove.There was no choice given to the women and this woman is representative of all those.So, this was the house to which she had been send to.
At the end of the poem, the woman dies as the kerosene was thrown over her and her death is also not discussed which was the only choice made for her.The end is very suggestive where poet uses repetition figure of speech by the line ‘Another Woman’. The words suggest the repetitive deaths of women incurred due to inhuman treatment given to women.
