In both the stories "A real Durwan" and "A very old man with huge wings", both characters, the very old man and Boori But, they are the only ones who experience suffering, poverty and wrongdoings towards them by society in the stories. The details of both characters' journeys show how similar they are. We can first see that when the old man is “lying face down in the mud, who, despite his tremendous efforts, could not get up, prevented by his enormous wings." …….”he was bald and with very few teeth in his mouth , dressed as a ragpicker…….dragged him out of the mud and locked him up together with the chickens in the wire mesh chicken coop.” This quote explains that the old man with enormous wings was found in bad condition due to the storm, he was sheltered in a chicken coop where he was being pricked by crows, and treated like an unwanted animal neglected by Pelayo and Elisenda The treatment of Pelayo ed Elisenda towards the very old man with a huge wing can be described as ruthless or reckless due to the cruelty and insensitivity of society, the old man is portrayed as the suffering of the weakest person who seems to multiply to the suffering of the elderly man, Boori Ma, a poor woman, began to suffer with the partition “It was in this voice that she listed,……..the details of her plight and the losses she suffered due to her deportation to. Calcutta after Partition (Lahiri, 70).” During the partition treaty, India and Pakistan are divided on religious grounds; Hindus from Muslim land where millions of people were left with nowhere to go. “…the riots had separated her from a husband, four daughters, a two-story brick house, a rosewood almari and a number of chests whose skeletal keys were located in the center of the card. Poverty is also seen when he “stood in a shopping arcade looking at jackfruit and persimmons and felt something that she was tugging at the loose end of her sari. When she looked, the rest of her life savings and keys were gone (Lahiri, 81).” he sleeps under the mailbox behind the gate of the building and when his money and key are stolen, he finds that one of his basins was missing .Then they threw Boori Ma out (Lahiri 82).” This quoit tells us how poverty led Boori Ma to ruin when she is thrown out of the apartment building In conclusion, suffering, poverty and society take on important meanings in A Real Durwan and A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings Suffering,. poverty and society symbolize desperation, but both characters fight to accomplish something.
