This Story has a very unexpected turn. As I began to read the story I could not visualize this as being any deeper than a pair of “foreigners” on a trip to India. The beginning of this story made it seem very shallow, like it was all about a young pair of inexperienced parents and their chauffeur. However, the connection to displacement was quickly made. Although, Mr. Kapasi, seemed annoyed by Mrs. Das it quickly became evident that they both had a lot in common. Both Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Das felt like they had little in common with their significant other and were tired and bored of their relationships. It was very unexpected to read and realize how appreciative Mrs. Das was of Mr. Kapasi’s job as a doctor’s interpreter and how much they both had in common. Mrs. Das appeared to be very shallow and at first glance not Mr. Kapasi’s type. However, they soon started getting along until it ended with another unexpected turn. Where Mr. Kapasi learned that Mrs. Das had an affair and how affairs come with a silent curse that destroys families. Overall, this story was actually very enjoyable and holds a connection to displacement that is read between the lines.
