"A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai is a story about complicated familial connections that stresses the shift in dynamics in the relationship between the father, Varma, and his son, Dr. Rakesh.
How does the story evolve as it proceeds?
Touching the father's feet expresses the loyal son's respect and control over him.
This display of respect and authority was imprinted on the son; he stopped caressing his father's feet, but the authority and respect he felt for his father remained with him even after he became a doctor.
The dedicated son consistently gave his father respect and authority, and this has taken a toll on their relationship, particularly as the father's health deteriorated.
He demonstrated his father's respect and authority by ensuring that he lived as long as the son could offer by administering the appropriate medications.
This irritated the father, who thought it should be the other way around.
