About Me
- Daniel Freeman
- trying to figure out most of what there is to know about most things.
Bina sees herself as the wife who never wanted to be a part of the other wives. Even though the other wives treated her as if she was one of them, Bina always rejected them and secluded herself away from those women. She sees the other wives as gossipers who enjoy being initiates. She didn't want to join that circle because she never wanted to be an initiate -- she was forced to be one.
ReplyDeleteBina doesn’t consider herself to be part of that little group that the other company wives are in. Even though she too is a wife of a company man that is about all that she and the other women have in common. Bina is way more independent than the other wives. She has way more on her plate than the others. Bina has to worry about taking care of her children including the eldest that has an illness. She spends all of her time in the hospital caring for her child. She sacrifices her whole life to keep her family together, while the worst thing that could happen to the others wives were losing an earring or a mother-in-law coming over to visit. The other women have it really good which Bina doesn’t so she doesn’t believe or want to belong to that little gradation of “company wives.”

ReplyDeleteSince Bina have a child--Nono--who severely spastic, she spent most of her time on nursing her child. Moreover, due to her spastic child,she work at hospital and people she mostly met were doctors, and they weren't friend at all. Thus, Bina think she has no friends, and seems to want to isolate herself from other people. Company wives were wives of men who represented different companies in the town, inside the circle of these company wives, there seems to a different gradations, and Bina think she was not belong to the circle of these company wives, because she don’t like these gradations. Thus, she was unwilling to join them.
ReplyDeleteBina seem more of a independent than the other housewife that she can do thing she can set her mind to. That this is her dedication to herself as a woman and a strong figure in the story, that she set out to do thing alone with the help of other but if she relay upon other it night release some of her burden she has placed on herself.
ReplyDeleteBina is a person who dedicates her time to her marriage and the eldest born who was spastic. The fact that they have stayed in the neighborhood for only two years and she was busy in her house, she did not make any kind of friendship with her neighbors, not only, her neighbors were kind of back biters who were curious about Bina's life as a neighbor and in india were she is preparing to leave.
ReplyDeleteBina thought she is not same as other wives. Since Bina has a spastic child-Nono, she need to put most of her time to take care him. During the party, she thought it is not for her since she cannot relax and try to give the guesses a good impression. In addition, not same as other wives has a lot of friends, the only true friend she has, I think is Nono's doctor because she only has fewer free time to make friend expect the doctor (for her child).
ReplyDeleteBina is a person who do not want ot get involve in to the group of gossipers. since the social groups and the neighbors are in the same wives. she has a really strong standing point.she is so independent and she is not as same as the other wives.in the story, she has a very strong indicates character which is different than other housewife. She has her own mine and do whatever she wants.
ReplyDeleteFor herself, Bina don't like to be one of them. At the same time, other company wives don't like her, too. "They noted the rather set sulkiness of her silence when amongst them and privately labeled her queer, proud, boring, and difficult. However, because her husband's job, they consider she belonged to their circle weather she like it or not.
