CHARACTER STUDY OF RAKESH (A DEVOTED SON)


CHARACTER OF RAKESH

Rakesh, a young man from India, secures the top spot in his national exams. He belongs to a traditional family and stands as the first member to pursue an education. Rakesh attains remarkable success, ultimately becoming a prosperous doctor who runs a clinic and serves his community. Throughout his teenage years and early adulthood, Rakesh aligns his life with his parents' desires. He dedicates himself to studying diligently, excels academically, pursues a lucrative career, explores the world but returns home, and even marries a woman chosen by his parents. His entire life epitomizes the commitment depicted in the short story's title.


The clash between Rakesh and his father, Varma, escalates into a clash of determination between a compliant son and a reluctant father. Rakesh, who has always lived under the weight of his family duties, considers his constant efforts to improve his father's declining health as an expected responsibility. He acts in what he believes is necessary for the benefit of his family, despite his father's stubborn resistance. Rakesh's actions reveal his character: he's a caring, family-focused man driven solely by fulfilling his duties as a devoted son, regardless of his father's wishes. His unwavering dedication fractures their once-solid bond, ironically distancing Rakesh from his aging father, as his devotion no longer earns his father's affection.
