Question

The dear departed summary of class 10

Answer 1

This is an interesting drama about lack of respect for elderly; which is prevalent in our society. The drama starts with the news of death of the elderly grandfather. His daughter and son-in-law are trying to show that they are really sad by the demise of the old man. They inform their relatives; who are also daughter- and son-in-law couple. While waiting for the relatives to arrive, they ask their daughter to show sadness in the way she behaves. They are also discussing about the potential material benefits which may come to them by virtue of the will of the old man. They are scheming to grab whatever articles are left in the name of property.

When the relatives arrive, they arrive in their fine attire meant for the occasion of mourning. Both the sisters and their husbands go on discussing about the prospects of sharing the spoils. Nobody cares to go upstairs to see the dead body.

While the routine squabbling for everyone’s share of pie is going on, the old man wakes up from his deep sleep and comes downstairs. Everybody is surprised and frightened. Gauging their lack of affection for him and greed for his property, the old man feels dejected. He announces that he is going to leave to marry a lady and is going to change his will. This announcement comes as a bolt from the blue for everyone.
