Character of Mr. Mohun Biswas:-
V.S.
Naipaul’s fourth novel ‘A House for Mr. Biswas has been regarded as his
impressive achievement. It traces the struggle of Mr. Biswas to own a house. In
a picturesque novel tradition, it depicts the chronicle of a low born child who
because of physical and economical limitation is compelled to live by his wits.
Its story is a series of episodes which through never spectacular are unusual
and absurd. His struggle is put in the background of deprivation, crowding and
insecurity which make the possession of a private dwelling an ideal goal in
life. He is a hero in all its littleness and absurdity. He is an everyman as he
expresses a keen awareness of the absurdist. He conforms Albert Calms’
fundamental definition of the absurd,
“Absurd means, one who feels within him a longing for happiness and for
reason”. The present work is round protagonist Mr. Mohun Biswas and his
life struggle to get a house of his own.
