INTRODUCTION
Even in a rotten society, it is possible to come across a good person. In “The Caucasian Chalk Circle’, Grusha is an appropriate example. Grusha goes through many challenges in order to save and adopt Michael. Some of these challenges are discussed below.
CONTENT
i. She sacri?ces the little she has in order to sustain Michael. She buys milk exorbitantly with the little savings from the poor wages from Michael‘s family where she worked.
ii. She is forced to come up with ingenious way of eluding the iron. Shirts that are after him. She knocks one of them down with a piece of wood, endangering her life in the process.
iii. She crosses the dangerous bridge that is at the verge of collapse, endangering her life and Michael’s in an attempt to escape the iron shirts’ pursuit.
iv. She has to contend with a society that frowns upon single motherhood. She is forced to accept marriage to a ‘dying man’- Jussup- in order to normalize her status and secure a roof over Michael’s head as well as get him a father.
v. Her relationship with her ?ance, Simon, is endangered because of the illegitimate marriage to Jussup who was not sick after all.
vi. She cares for Michael genuinely such that she endures a trial and risks being jailed although the case favors her.
