The Predicament Of Geriatrics In The Scream By Rohinton Mistry
Abstract
Mistry’s novels are showcases of relationships. Mistry reveals vulnerable relationships through his works. He suggests that relationships are very weak, and trust that solidifies relationships can be easily broken. Misunderstandings and delusions can lead to the collapse of relationships and even oppression. Age is one of the central themes of Mistry’s fiction and the relationship between them. Generations are of great concern when Mistry talks about the private territory of the family and home. The private world is a place for families to get together. This paper aims at analysing the complexities faced by an old man out of too much pampering in The Scream.
