Then I made a mistake – What mistake did the speaker make ? Why was it a mistake?

“Then I made a mistake.”- What ‘mistake’ did the speaker make ? Why was it a ‘mistake’? What removed the speaker’s doubts ? What did the speaker do then? Class 12 | English (The Eyes Have It) 6 Marks

Ans:

The speaker made the ‘mistake’ of asking the girl, his first co-passenger, what it was like outside the train.

The speaker considered it to be a mistake’ because a person with proper eyesight is not supposed to ask such a weird question. The speaker was afraid that the girl might discover the truth that he was blind.

When the girl asked the speaker why he did not look out of the window himself, it was then that the speaker’s doubts were removed.

To establish his lie more firmly as the truth, the speaker moved easily along the berth and felt for the window ledge. He faced the open window pretending to study the landscape like any person with proper eyesight and tried to convince the girl that he could see.
