Page "The Guide" Paragraph 6

She is also portrayed as a traditional Indian wife.

Her husband is like God to her.

Marco calls her dancing skills as street acrobatics and compares it to monkey dance.

Despite all these insults she continues to be his wife.

When Marco comes to know about the intimacy between her and Raju he gets very upset and doesn't talk to her and completely ignores her presence.

She apologizes to him and keeps on following him like a dog hoping that his mind would change one day but that does not happen.

This incident shows her tremendous tolerance power and her optimistic attitude.

Even after she becomes very successful in her career and independent of her husband Marco she still has his photograph which conveys that she still considered Marco to be her husband and highlights her traditional Indian wife kind of character.

However, she is often referred as ' The Serpent girl ' by Raju's mother, because his mother thinks that she was responsible for the ruined condition of her family and her son.

Raju also seems to dislike her at the end of the story and holds her as the culprit.

Rosie was also disliked by Raju's friends, Gaffur and Sait due to her intimacy with Raju.
