The Indian Mutiny
A:
The short story “The Indian Mutiny” is about a man called Fein. He reflects on his past as a pupil at Creighton Comprehensive, where he drove his history teacher, Mr. Vello, insane and eventually killed him. Of course he did not kill him in the literal sense of the word, but he was kingpin of a mutiny against him, which caused him a mental breakdown and led to his suicide a couple of weeks later. It all started when class 4b got a new history teacher, Mr. Vello, as mentioned above. Fein and his fellow students start terrorizing him within the first four lessons, and as the story continues, the harassments gets more and more vicious. Mr. Vello takes his measures against the boys and estab-lishes the “Indian Army”, which consists of all the Indian descended boys in the class. The main purpose of this army is to maintain order in the classroom. Since Fein is considered a Semite, he is not allowed to join the army. But he makes Mr. Vello believe that his ancestors were Turkish tribes-men who converted to Judaism, and thereby he gets recruited. Fein carry out his job as a member of the army for a while, but then he arranges this mutiny against Mr. Vello, which makes him crack up.
B:
Fein is both narrator and main character in the story. As a kid, Fein is a perfect example of a teacher’s worst nightmare today. He is not only undisciplined, but also very rude and some might even say mean. However, he is a smart kid and he has a gift of the gab, as it says in the text, and this makes him even more dangerous to Mr. Vello. These skills make him earn the class’s respect and help him achieving the role as the leader of the Indian Army. But as he says on page 2 line 15:”I couldn’t have managed it without the Indian Army”, he would have been helpless in his efforts of trying to get Mr. Vello down if he was on his own. One on one Mr. Vello would be superior to Fein, but when the pupils pull together he has not got a single chance. As soon as children consider them-selves as a part of a group, the pressure on the teacher increases. The children think they have to prove something to each other and somehow they also get more confident being a part of a group. As a result of this they do not respect the teacher in the same way.
As an adult, Fein has not changed much. He still spends much time talking, and as a matter of a fact he has made a living out of it by becoming a chat-show-host. But his life is uninteresting and rather dead as it appears from the following line: “Even now, sitting in my office at the station, in the dead centre of a dead ordinary day, I get chilly and sweaty thinking about it”. His life is, to some extent, affected by what he was the cause of. In spite of the fact that he knows what happened to Mr. Vello, he does not regret at all. On the last page he says that he really meant to be mean to Mr. Vello, and despite his dreams in which he kills Mr. Vello over and over again, they only make him feel fasci-nated in some way: page 2 line 4:”It’s astonishing how many different ways I’ve murdered Mr. Vello in my dreams.... Every time I do him, I do him in a fresh way – an original way.” We only know this because of the story’s point of view of, which is Fein’s. By placing Fein as the Narrator of the story in stead of a third person or and omniscient narrator, we are revealed Fein’s true thoughts and feelings considering the accident and how he thinks of himself in the past. He defi-nitely considers himself as smart and something better: p. 2 l. 8:” I’m not stupid – far from it.” and p. 4 l. 24:”... but I was the best.” Some how I do not think he has realized what he has done, he thinks the same way as he did when he was a kid.
Mr. Vello is of the old school and he represents its values in form of discipline and respect. As Fein mentions:”... in a quieter school, Mr. Vello would have been OK. But at Creighton Comprehensive he didn’t have a chance”. Mr. Vello is far form being qualified to teach a class like Fein’s, but in general I do not think that Mr. Vello is able to handle kids today. Our society’s way of treating and raising children has changed much within the last 50 years, and the upbringing has become much more liberal. Teachers today must be mentally strong in order to cope with these adolescent kids in primary- and secondary school. I think the End symbolizes what I have already mentioned above. Children who are allowed to develop in a group without being watched and influenced from the start, can become a massive task to deal with for a teacher, and at worst the consequences can be-come fatal. After I have left folk school, my younger brother has told me that two of my former teachers went to a mental hospital a couple of years after my graduation. Of course it was not caused by my behaviour, but by their pupils back then. And that shocked me a bit, because these were the last I had expected would end up in a mental institution. But this only shows me that even teachers who seem mentally strong can go down, and it also shows me that it is for sure a hard time dealing with unruly children.
I think Will Self has got two points with this story. The first one is that discipline is a highly neces-sary factor in our upbringing and it affects the quality of our future life. The second is a criticism of the modern society’s way of dealing with the upbringing of our children, it has become too liber-ated.
