Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

The title of the R.K Narayan’s novel, The Guide, has a double meaning, and Raju, the protagonist, is in a sense a double character. As a tour guide and lover, he is impulsive, unprincipled, and self-indulgent. After his transformation as a holy man, he is careful, thoughtful, and self-disciplined. It is the journey of a common man from being a charlatan tourist guide to a purified soul transformed into a spiritual guide, ready to sacrifice his life for the welfare of the common people.
