English - The Tribute

Postby bcappu » Wed Mar 12, 2008 6:27 pm

"It was like the butcher's knife going to the stone to sharpen itself. The story, "The Tribute" contains a number of reference to the work of a butcher. Why does Babuli so often had these thoughts :?:

well a butcher is someone who kills a innocent being for his own needs.i think here it means the circumstances mized with his guilt thats instigating such thoughts in babuli.it can also be refering to his fmily members who are the coz for the parition,and also his childhood connection with his home.i guess this explains it!!

Actually it's that his wife was behaving & speaking as a butcher is cutting a lamb because through her thoughts Babuli's heart was getting prepared to be cut by her knife of thoughts. :ugeek:

ACCORDING TO ME THE BUTCHER HAS BEEN USED FOR ITS NATURAL MEANING ONLY.ITS JUST THAT EVERYTIME IT CONCLUDES A DIFFERENT MEANING.THE LINE WHICH U QUOTED MEANS HE WAS FEELING LIKE HE WAS BEING CUTTED DOWN BY THAT KNIFE HE WAS SO SHATTERED AFTER LISTENING HIS WIFE['S VIEW.HE FELT THAT BUTCHER WAS SHARPENING HIS KNIFE TO CUT HIN IN PIECES SO THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO FACE ANYONES COMMENT OR WISHES
