In The Gold Watch by Mulk Raj Anand we have the theme of control , innocence , anxiety , acceptance , disappointment , change and connection . Taken from his Selected Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Anand may be exploring the theme of control . Srijut is totally reliant on his employer and it seems to be a case that he has no choice when it comes to his retirement . Despite the fact that Srijut believes he has another five years left to work .If anything Srijut's employer is dictating the direction in which Srijut must go . Srijut has no option but to retire . Which may leave some readers to suggest that Srijut has no control over whether he should retire or not . The matter has been taken out of his hands by Mr Acton . That Srijut realises he is being forced out of his job . Something which obviously causes anxiety to Srijut . He believes he has five years left in his job however Mr Acton feels differently . Again there is a sense that Srijut is being controlled rather than being in control of his circumstances .It is also interesting that Srijut doesn't really voice his concerns with his wife or Hari . Rather he allows Hari to take his silver watch as Srijut believes he will have no use for it anymore . Throughout the story Srijut internalizes the anxiety he feels .
Where some critics might suggest that Srijut's feelings should come first . It is also possible that Mr Acton believes that he is doing Srijut a favor by retiring him five years early . However some readers might suggest that Mr Acton's decision is based solely on business and the fact that it is easier to retire Srijut at fifty rather than at fifty five .
The fact that Srijut accidently breaks the gold watch may also be significant as it could symbolically suggest that Srijut is no longer in synchronization with his fellow workers or he is out of time . Also it could suggest that the gold watch itself is a useless gift to Srijut as he no longer needs a watch to monitor his time-keeping . The watch might have a nice appearance but the reality is that Srijut no longer has a need for a watch .
