In the text, the Spirit states she was compared to a “golden Champak blossom” by Shekhar–a “flower of beauty” (para. 16). The flower is used as a metaphor for the Spirit’s value being equated to her beauty. As stated, “Does any one think of the skeleton of a champak flower?” (para. 16). No one considers the inside of the flower, just as no one considers the deeper personality of the Spirit.
