Best Seller
1.
John is hypocrite.
Do you agree?
Yes,
- made fun of romantic stories
-He had a romantic marriage.
- followed a girl whom he found in a
train journey and got married.
2. Irony in the story ‘The Best – Seller’
-The story is full of ironical
instances. The main protagonist of the story John denounces bestselling novels
as something inferior to real life but we find that the story of his marriage
is even more dramatic and adventurous than any fictional romance. He ridicules
the story of Trevelyan’s romance for a princess by saying that he finds it
difficult to believe that people would like to marry people from different
strata of society or different background. According to him people generally
marry people from same social circle, form the same background, or old school
friends. Ironically, he himself marries a girl from aristocratic background,
and goes to great extend to ensure that the marriage takes place. In fact even at
the end he gets down at coke town to look for a petunia sapling for his wife
just because she had admired it on a previous trip.
