The Thief - A Critical Appreciation
‘The Thief is based on the recollection of a thief and is written in first person.He was only fifteen and was quite an accomplished and experienced hand in hisprofession of theft when he met Arun for the first time during a wrestling match. Thethief found a prospective client in Arun and had an irresistible desire to rob him. Toshape his plans he introduced himself to Arun by a pseudonym ‘Deepak’ andexpressed his desire to work for him. Arun refused to engage him as a domestic helpbecause he made money by fits and starts and was unable to pay him regularly. ButDeepak went on persuading and flattering Arun. He offered to serve him for foodonly. Arun was a kind and generous fellow. He took pity on Deepak and agreed tokeep him if he could cook for him. Although Deepak knew nothing about cooking heaccepted the job just to get an entry in Arun’s house. But Deepak was cipher as acook and the food cooked by him turned out to be a disaster and was fed to aneighbor’s cat. Deepak was shown the exit again but he won Arun’s heart with hismost appealing smile and he was not only pardoned off and got back to his job Arunpromised to teach him write his name too. Arun also taught him how to cook. Arun showed full faith in Deepak and made him buy his daily supplies. Deepak wassmart enough to make good profit out of it daily. Although Arun had some hint aboutthis theft he preferred to ignore it. Instead he completely relied on Deepak and gavehim the keys of his room too making it easy for Deepak to get into his room in hisabsence. Arun was a happy go lucky kind of person. When he made some money hespent it lavishly. He was not paying Deepak regularly for his work till then. ThoughDeepak had fair chances to rob Arun but it was altogether quite difficult for him alsobecause Arun was very careless and relying and that is why he was hesitant to breakhis trust. Philosophic Deepak was of view that it’s easy to rob a greedy man becausehe deserves it, it’s easy to rob a rich man because he can afford it but it’s difficult torob a poor man even one who really doesn’t care if he is robbed.One day proving the saying that ‘a thief is always a thief’ Deepak got a chance tosatisfy his urge of robbing Arun when he saw him putting a bundle of crisp notesunder his mattress. Arun slept on the bed oblivious of everything. Deepak decided toworkout his plan. He stealthily took out the money and immediately left the house for railway station. When
