B Wordsworth

B. Wordsworth is the creation of V. S. Naipaul about the story of a son and a man who felt like being a poet only, unfortunately, could never be sensation. As one of the most widely read and perhaps understand writers of Caribbean descent, V. S. Naipaul presents a poetic view of the challenges of being part of Caribbean society during that m. It reflects the preserve that a foreign culture and a foreign language had upon the natives. Yet, it does non condemn this incident but rather embraces it in an unfamiliar way.The master(prenominal) character, B. Wordsworth, is a tramp, a vagabond who resides in a very simplistic one room hut that is surrounded by weeds, trees and bushes that are overgrown. He not only lives a life of modesty and simplicity but he as well has an unusual appreciation for nature. This is shown by his comments on the stars and during the time when he shows the young boy the different trees. The thing that made him different, however, was the fact that whi le he was a man of simple means he spoke English in a peculiar, unnatural manner.It is this fact which draws the anxiety of the young boy and invites the scorn of his mother. A critical analysis of the hatful and the events that transpire in the story will reveal that there is an intragroup struggle that the characters have to face. The misplaced English that the boy speaks as compared to the unflawed English of B. Wordsworth mirrors the social climate in the Caribbean during that time.This contrast also reveals the badinage that exists in the life of not only the boy but also the vagabond as the realization of having a dream but not the capacity to pursue such dawns upon him in the twilight of his years. B. Wordsworth and perhaps the boy who followed his dream wanted to be poets but could never be one. The manifestly poetic language of the boy and the poetic nature of B. Wordsworth show that the verse line existed not in language but in his lifestyle. The magically tend tha t existed amidst the concrete jungle is a testament to this but is sadly one that was torn down only to exist in the boys memory.
