what is summary of swami's night alone chapter
Answers
Explanation:Swami walks alone on a road branching off the familiar trunk road of Malgudi. He walks for a mile and finds the road quiet, deserted, and unfamiliar. He wishes to be back on the trunk road, and realizes that he has been walking for hours. Swami misses home, imagining all of the food the cook makes and thinking of eating with his mother. As the sun begins to set, Swami rests and then decides to go home. He thinks that his troubles at school don’t matter after all and he is surprised that he ever thought he needed to run away. Swami regrets not telling his father what happened and is especially sorry to miss cricket practice leading up to the match.
Even before realizing he is lost, Swami misses home intensely and regrets his decision to leave school, already finding his reasons for fleeing trivial. In this sense, the self that Swami was only a few hours before has already become a stranger to him, demonstrating the depth of the instability of his identity during this sequence. But as much as he wishes to be at home, he remains in unfamiliar geographic territory, again illustrating his half-independent, half-childish state.
