The Eyes Have It by Ruskin bond

The story'The Eyes Have It'begins abruptly and ends with a sudden twist . It revolve around three main characters.The few words exchanged among them hold the interest of the story. Ruskin bond present his idea in a lucid conversational style. He shows his mervellous  craftsmanship and novelty of through in the development of the them. The author uses imagery of the train journey and the rail station to prevent' slice of life' . At the time the story goes beyond the confines of the carriage and the station to include a wide range of human emotions. The nameless passengers become symbolic metaphors for the common people. But the author wants to universalise  his characters. So there are no names of  identification for the characters in the story besides handling the theme of vision and blindness , the author introduces the theme of blindness expression. His narrative technique has great affinity with Guy De Maupassant. He withholds the truth until the extreme end of the story. The narrator himself was the main protagonist of the story. He intended to hide his blindness.

         

                 He talked with the girl cautiously. Yet he was Wall aware that he himself was ' completely blind '. But he had not lost his perception beauty. He narrated his bygone memories of' The hills in October' with photographic Delhi details and pictorial image. Little did he know that he was being deceived in the same game by his fellow traveler. The narrator was disillusioned after the revelation made by the third passenger. The epiphany revealed a note of shock and surprised at the end. The story ended on a note of irony. The plot of the story is well-knit and the author shows his mastery in the art of characterization.
