Answer:
The treatment of the revenge theme in the story is fairly unusual. The revenge in this case is neither murdering the opponent not robbing his valuables or in any way physically abusing him, but trapping him in a way, that his escape becomes difficult. The revenge is executes in a very subtle way. Chunilal manages to take his revenge along with teaching a lesson to Bepin Choudhury for not having tried enough to help his age old friend.
The story makes serious comments about the changing faces of friends and their friendships. Chunilal approaches Bepin Choudhury for seeking help to find a job on the strength of their age old friendship. Bepin Choudhury on the other hand proves to be unhelpful and inconsiderate, something that greatly disturbs Chunilal.
Bepin Choudhury is aware of Dinesh Mukherji’s sarcasm, yet Dinesh Mukherji comes across as a good acquaintance of Bepin Choudhury.
However, by the end of the story, it is amply clear that Dinesh Mukherji functioned more as an ally of Chunilal, than as a friend of Bepin Babu. Chunilal also mirrors Bepin Choudhury’s coldness by playing a prank on Bepin Babu that unnerves him completely.
Unlike a friend, Chunilal too becomes inconsiderate of the affect that his prank was having on Bepin Babu’s health.
