I
think that in the short story "Interpreter of maladies" Jhumpa Lahiri
constructs a "positive" hopeful end.
During the story we can notice the bad relationship between Raj and Mrs. Das and the way in which Mr. and Mrs. Das treat their kids.. However at the end after Mrs. Das talks to Mr. Kapasi we can see her change in her attitude. It’s a positive fact that Mrs. Das is trying to solve the problem, when she talks to Mr. Kapasi she is trying to make everything better and when Mr. Kapasi identifies the problem "Is it really pain you feel, Mrs. Das, or is it guilt?” Mrs. Das makes a radical turn. At first she didn’t act as a mother toward her kids but now when Bobby was being attacked by the monkeys she tries to save him; also when she goes outside she doesn’t put her sun glasses on as she had done during the whole story. The dark sunglasses covered her eyes and by this it created a barrier with the family covering her expressions towards them. Also when Mr. Kapasi’s card flies away it shows as that he would be forget her and this is good for both of them. And the last clear symbol that let us know that the story has a positive ending is the fact that the monkeys are finally calm. As we can see during the story they were always restless and bouncy such as the relationship between them and when they are calm Mrs. Das gas already changed and she is trying to make things work.

With all this symbols it’s hard to
say that it’s not a positive ending.
