Comment on the indifference that meets Iona's attempts to share his grief with his fellow human beings.

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Iona Potapov had lost his son, who died a week before. He wished to share his suffering and his emotions and grieve at his loss. However, the people he came across, whether passengers or others, were not interested in listening to his story. Either the people were in a hurry or were tired or busy. Thus, none of them paid heed to his words as he began every time. Finally, he told it all to his horse.
