The Sense Of An Ending.

Respected Sir,

1) What is the meaning of phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email?

"You still don’t get it. You never did, and you never will. So stop even trying.”

This line helps us to find the phrase “Blood Money”

When Veronica comes to know that her mother left 500 dollars for Adrian, she just simply called it “Blood Money”. There can be two reasons for that:

(1) She may be thinking that her mother is responsible for the suicide of Adrian. As Sarah and Adrian were in relationship and they have a baby from this relation. This guilt leads him to suicide.

(2) According to Veronica, Tony may be the reason for Adrian’s suicide. As Tony had sent a letter to Adrian and he met with Veronica’s mother and a baby from that relation was reason of Adrian’s guilt.

And later on Adrian committed suicide. So according to Veronica this money was not pure and that is why she just replayed ‘Blood Money’.

5) How was Veronica related to Adrian, the one suffering in care-in-the-community?

Because of the relationship of Veronica and Adrian suffering in care community because Adrian is the son of Sarah and Adrian and in this way Adrian is the brother of Veronica and so she has relation with him. And that’s why she has to take care of him and with that reason suffering in care- in –the community.

8) Do you see any possible reason in the suicide of Adrian Finn?

Why Adrian Finn committed suicide is not clear through the narrative but we can assume the reasons. There are many reasons like maybe he falls in love with his girlfriend’s mother. Or maybe something has happened between Mrs. Sarah Ford and Adrian and Mrs. Sarah Ford becomes pregnant. Or maybe he did not want his child and Mrs. Sarah Ford was not ready to aboard the child. Or maybe out of fear of society and Mr. Ford he committed suicide. But apart from this it was also said that when he died his mind was fully under his control so the things are not much clear.

Thank You.

The Dance of the Eunuchs.

The Dance of the Eunuchs - Kamala Das. Summary- Included in the collection Summer in Calcutta(1965), 'Dance of the Eunuchs' is one of the most remarkable poems of Kamala Das. This is another autobiographical poem written in confessional style that symbolically portrays the poetess's personal melancholy in her own life. 'Dance of the Eunuchs' vividly conjures up the atmosphere of a hot, tortured, corrupt, sterile and barren world through vivid symbols and images. The dance of the eunuchs whose joyless life reflects the poet‘s fractured personality is a noticeable piece of autobiographical poetry. Kamala Das has vividly visualized the world of vacant ecstasy and sterility through numerous functional images and symbols in her poetry. In fact Eunuchs try to eke out a livelihood by dancing. Their dancing is mechanical and painful. The conditions and the climate are forbidding. The spectators are merciless. Even God seems to add their woes. The eunuchs...

Bangle sellers

Bangle sellers - Sarojini Naidu Summary A group of bangle sellers is on its way to the temple fair to sell their bangles. One of them is the narrator of this poem. They are an impoverished and marginalized group of people whose income from the sales of their bangles is at the best of times uncertain and very meagre. However the bangles they sell are of religious and symbolic importance: no Indian widow is permitted to wear bangles. Hence the wearing of bangles is considered to be very auspicious and of symbolic value bordering on the religious. What is of great significance in the poem is that the bangle seller does not say a word about his/her poverty, nor does he/she say anything about the profit that he/she intends to make by selling his/her bangles at the temple fair where he/she will certainly do roaring sales. On the contrary he/she only concentrates on the human element of the product Sarojini Naidu has foregrounded...
