Significance of Bedpan and Urinal

The bedpan and urinal are pieces of equipment that Nariman needs after his accident. They play a big part in the story because Coomy's disgust in dealing with these humiliating objects leads Coomy to the decision to dump Nariman on Roxana and her family. Once Nariman has been taken over to Roxana's flat, the equipment is again important. Yezad at first refuses to have any part in dealing with the equipment and its use. An important milestone in his change of personality occurs when he finally responds to Nariman's need to use them. Yezad tries to keep Murad and Jehangir from having anything to do with the bedpan and urinal, but Jehangir is much too caring of his grandfather to let such rules bother him.
