At School by M.K. GANDHI

                                                                                            At School M.K. GANDHI I must have been about seven when my father left Porbandar for Rajkot to become a member of the Rajasthanik Court. There I was put into a primary school, and I can well recollect those days, including the names and other particulars of the teachers who taught me. As at Porbandar, so here, there is hardly anything to note about my studies. I could have been only a mediocre student. From this school I went to the suburban school and thence to the high school, having already reached my twelfth year. I do not remember having ever told a lie, during this short period, either to my teachers or to my school-...

Comment on the proviso scene in The Way of the World.

 The proviso scene in William Congreve's play "The Way of the World" is one of the most famous and controversial scenes in all of Restoration comedy. It takes place towards the end of the play and is a pivotal moment in the relationship between the two main characters, Mirabell and Millamant.

Who is Sir Rowland in The Way of the World?

 Sir Rowland is a character in William Congreve's play "The Way of the World," which was first performed in 1700. He is a wealthy and somewhat elderly suitor who is courted by Lady Wishfort, one of the play's principal characters. Lady Wishfort hopes to marry Sir Rowland in order to secure her own financial and social position, as well as that of her daughter, Millamant. However, Sir Rowland is portrayed in the play as something of a foolish and vain character, who is overly concerned with his own appearance and reputation. In the end, Sir Rowland is tricked by the play's other characters, who use his vanity and gullibility to further their own goals. Lady Wishfort's servant Waitwell impersonates Sir Rowland, and convinces Lady Wishfort to sign a marriage contract that will allow Millamant to marry Mirabell, the play's hero. The real Sir Rowland is thus left out of the final resolution of the play, and is portrayed as something of a buffoonish figure who h...
