What kind of person do you think Shyama is? Is she same till the end? Ch-ranga's marriage

Dear student,
 

The narrator of this story is a fellow full of candour and a cheeky sense of humour as we see in the course of the story. Shyama who calls himself the narrator of this piece and a humble servant of the reader not only determines the course of the story but the characters' lives too. He shrewdly manipulates the people around him through his subtle trickery and cunning intelligence.In a way we are made to feel like we are in on his secret and comrades in his plan to unite Ranga and Ratna. Shyama the narrator unravels the story through meticulous attention to detail and an insightful knowledge of the life around him. He is astute in his observations regarding the life and times in which he lives.

The way in which the story unfolds has the mark of an man whose humour is inimitable,it is earthy and quite frank. He adopts a conspiratorial mode of talking to his readers which adds to the lightness of the story.

Till the very end of the story, he keeps the humour quotient and his humbleness intact. It can be said so by quoting the following lines from the text; “It’s not a nice name— Shyama,” I said. “I’m like a dark piece of oil-cake. Why did you have to give that golden child of yours such a name? What a childish couple you are, Ratna and you!"

Regards
