English - The Tribute"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

Re: English - The Tributethe wife is being referred as the butcher....coz she is insensitive towards babuli's feelings and his attachment towards his mother and his elder brother.....and babuli is bacisally in a fix...he doesnt know whom to turn to.....n he feels as helpless as lamb wud feel when in captive of a butcher
Re: English - The Tributewell 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!!
Re: English - The TributeBut my teacher said that it refers to time????
Re: English - The Tributetime?
oh come on pooja is right it refers to babuli's wife as buture and babuli as lamb y pooja has olready said it
Re: English - The TributeActually 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.
