HATE- ARTHUR C. CLARKE

HATE- ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Que.  Theme of the Story.

Ans. This story is written by a prominent writer Arthur C. Clarke. He is a well known science fiction writer of America.

The title itself suggests the theme of the story. It’s a story about hatred and how it goes away from the character‘s mind. In the beginning we can see the hatred but gradually at the end of the story it dosen’t remain.

The main charcter if the story Tibor, a Hungarian, works as a pearl-diver. Tibor hates Russians because his loved ones were killed when the Russians invaded so, the Russians were hated by him.

The setting of the story is Sea- Coast. Here we can also see the life of pearl- diver. How they have their own different world, different from land.

In his dreams also Tibor has anger for Russians. The writer  has beautifully described the life of a Pearl-diver that Tibor thinks that down there on the seabed was wealth and death, and one could be sure of neither the chances were that this would be another day of uneventful drudgery, as were most of the days in the pearl diver’s unglamorous life.

Tibor stuck with something in the sea and he knows that it is not an air craft. Tibor is aware of Russian to pick out references to electrical supplies and pressuring systems. There was a space in the sea and when he sees the dead astronaut his hate died forever within him and he realizes the price of his revenge.

Thus, in this story, we can see that how hate increases for the Russians and how gradually it dies forever. Her e, we can note a sudden change in Tibor, how he becomes emotional and his view gets changed.
