Which of these characters is sympathetic towards Leela? *
Answers
In R. K. Narayan's "Leela's Friend", Leela, the five year old daughter of Mr. Sivasanker, is the central character who plays the main role in the short story. Like all other children of her age, she is full of spirit and liveliness. The story writer describes Leela as much as innocent, lively and beautiful with her soft-heart. She has the role to engage Sidda as their servant. She likes Sidda playing with her. She is accustomed to listen to the amazing stories told by Sidda. She teaches Sidda lovingly and with strict attention. She has some funny games and has sympathy towards Sidda, when her misplacement of the gold neck-chain results in her parents' suspicion on Sidda as a thief. She has a little protest when Sidda is caught in charge of theft by the police. Her nature is basically good amd draws the attention of all. Indeed the character of Leela is quite impressive and inspiring with her genuine concern for her friend Siddaa.
