Context : In this extract Phatik’s feeling against his aunt’s behaviour is shown.
Explanation : The bad atmosphere of dishonor in his aunt’s house depressed Phatik so that he felt that he could not take a breathe comfortably there. He wanted to roam in a country freely as he did in his earlier days. But in calcutta there was no open place for him to go the city was surrounded by houses and walls, he only could dream continuously of his village and to be back there. He was unable to forget the beautiful grasslands where he used to fly his kite whole day long; the broad river-bank where he used to wander about the livelong day singing and shouting for joy. There was a · narrow river also where he could go and enjoy himself with his friends at any time he liked. He thought about his friend circle over whom he used to command; and above all the remembrance of his cruel mother who was always partial to for him.
