Blog Prompt #5: Who is your favourite/least favourite character in VBTS? State your reasons.


After reading the novel "Village by the Sea", I found that my favourite and least favourite character is the same. Both are Hari.

I like him as he has a never-say-die personality. Even with an alcoholic father and a sick mother, he never gave up and kept working to create his perfect family. He even went over to Bombay to earn money to put bread on the table. He took on this responsibility which was supposed to be taken by his parents. Yet he did it with no complaints whatsoever.

His ability to plan his time is also admirable. In a period of a few months in Bombay, he managed to work for Jagu in Sri Krishna Eating House and learn how to repair watches from Mr Panwallah. He learnt a new art while earning money for his family.

Hari is also my least favourite character as he made us infer a lot of his thoughts in Language Arts classes, making classes rather boring…
