The poem, To The Foot From Its Child by Pablo Neruda, expresses the realities of life imposed on human by the society. Through the image of foot, being a metaphor for the child, describes the various stages of life ; infancy, childhood, adulthood, maturity and finally death.
To begin, foot is unaware it's a foot and wishes to be a butterfly or an apple; to fly high and to lead a fruitful life. The innocent foot believes that its imagination will be turned into reality. But as time passes by it realises the harsh realities of life; stones ,bits of glasses , that it cannot be a butterfly or an apple. Here the foot feels defeated in the battle of life and made to lead a life of prisoner, within the boundaries posed by the society.
Being in the shoe, it grows in the darkness and the humdrum realities of life and acts as a blind man . Slowly the foot changes itself in to a hard substance which depicts the agony and hardships undergone by the foot.
The foot walks without rest and respite scarcely giving time to feel the joy of life. It's busy in working as it's dreams are crushed and forced to dance on the tune of the society.
The foot is ignorant that it is dead, buried underground and ceased to be a foot. Inspite of this , it wishes to be a butterfly or an apple . It's hope and aspirations are still alive and remain forever.
