Why is Frederick lawley my favourite character from the chapter lawley road?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
In Lawley Road by R.K. Narayan we have the theme of independence, corruption, power, loyalty and identity. Taken from his Malgudi Days collection the story is narrated in the first person by the Talkative Man and after reading the story the reader realises that Narayan may be exploring the theme of independence and the difficulties that can come with independence. The Municipality of Malgudi though they have won their freedom from the British incur difficulties when trying to stamp their own seal on Malgudi. Not only do some of the streets have the same names which is impractical but the honesty of some of the Council members and the Chairman is in question. This may be important as Narayan may be suggesting that when a country gets its independence from another country things may not necessarily run smoothly or appropriately. If anything some of the things that happen in Malgudi when they obtain independence is ridiculous. Particularly when it comes to Sir Lawley’s statue.
