- RUSKIN BOND
BY: YASHLEEN
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
• Birth- 1934, at Kasauli, Himachal
Pradesh
• His publishes /work
• Awards
RUSKIN BOND
INTRODUCTION
• An example of situational irony
• A conversation between two characters
• How tactfully they hides their disability
• Reality made him feel deceived
CHARACTERS
• The narrator
• The girl
• The fellow passenger
SUMMARY
From Rohana to Saharanpur
• The man was already aboard when the girl stepped on the train at Rohana. She
was escorted by her parents who advised her to not talk to strangers. As she
entered she did not even notice the narrator who was pretending to be sighted.
• He gradually found enough courage to start a conversation. She was going
till Saharanpur where she would be received by her aunt. She enquired the
same from the narrator who told her about his visit to Dehradun and Mussoorie.
CONTD…
• She sighed as she also loved the hilly tracts of Mussoorie in October. The
narrator described the beauty of the hills, rain and flowers as the conversation
continued. Pretending to be sighted, he asked the girl to describe the scene
outside the train.
• She quickly retorted that he should have to look outside himself. He praised her
by claiming that her face was interesting. She smiled at the words as she was
bored by the usual compliments about her pretty looks.
• She claimed that she did not like long train journeys and was glad that her
station was arriving soon. The narrator, however, was heartbroken as he wanted
the journey with the girl to never end.
CONTD….
• Soon the station arrived and as the girl prepared to exit, the narrator had a whiff of
the fragrance she was wearing. He was intoxicated and perversely tried to touch
her hair, but the girl said her goodbye and disembarked before he could. The
new passenger entered and the narrator sat back in his seat, heartbroken and
disappointed.
From Saharanpur to Dehradun.
• Dejected, the narrator pushed himself toward the window again. The
new passenger was a male and he did not realize the narrator’s lack of vision,
much like the girl.
CONTD…
• He broke the ice and offered his consolation for not being as pretty as the last
passenger (the girl). The narrator stuck to his assessment and called her
interesting. He asked about her hair but the man said he did not notice her hair.
• However, the man dedicated another compliment to her by saying that she was
very pretty with beautiful eyes, even though she was blind. This revelation
surprised the narrator who thought about the futility of his attempts to hide his
blindness in front of another blind person.
IRONY IN THE STORY
• The short story “The Eyes Have It”, is an excellent example of situational Irony.
• Ironically the author employs two blind people as his main characters, yet neither knows that the
other is blind.
• The author does not realize that the girl sitting next to him is also blind, even after listening to her
parent’s advice and instructions to their daughter.
• Hoping to keep her from realizing that he is blind, the author describes the scenery outside from
his memories.
• To continue the ruse, he tells the girl that an interesting face.
• The narrator ends up fooling himself. Apparently he also mislead the girl because she did not
realize her fellow traveler was blind either.
LEARNING FROM THE STORY
• The story “The Eyes Have It” teaches us a very valuable lesson.
• God has given a fair share of luck and talent to each and every individual in this
world, so instead of hiding our story comings ,we must appreciate What we have
and not complain about what we do not have.
• We ultimately learn a very valuable lesson about the influence of initial
assumptions on the ways we perceive the world and other persons.
THANK YOU
