GOD OF SMALL THINGS

Who is the narrator of God Of Small Things?Is it Rahel,yes the novel starts with Rahels entry to Ayyemanem ,but there is some one who introduced Rahel to us may be the omnipotent god in the title itself,Rahel is coming to take care of her loving brother Estha.Roy discusses some great gender issues through this novel.we can analyse it when Ammu returns to Ayyemenam with her two children,Chacko who also back to home after his Failed married life at that time was well recived,but Ammu was ill treated,the despotisms of the society over women during that period was clearly pictured by Roy in her legendary work

                        Ammu lived a life of her choice,we could  find a slight resemblence with Flauberts Emma with Ammu,beacause in a way Emma and Ammu are romantic idealist.Ammu never concrned about the society or even her children,she openly expressed her love towards Velutha, which resulted in Veluthas death,Marxism played a great role in this novel ,but the question arise is this who is a real Marxist? for whom actually that philosophy stands for? is it for the downtrodden community what they really claims as or for the land lords for vote and support the really matters at that time.Velutha was killed brutally at the police lock-up.he was a real Marxist whoose idologies are as red as his blood..but time always stands with the masked politician like Comrade Pillai,as the fortune wheels turns time claims him as a Legendry hero.

                                  Again Chacko who is the representative of male shovanism travells through out the novel with the same face,we never see him changed,but time changes, society changes, at the end rahel shows the bravery to say openly that she was divorced, but the novel didnt gave us a hope of change from the administrative patterns that Comrede Pillai is seen as croocked as before at the end.

                                   what really ad mires me in this novel is the character Ammu and the kind of freedom the character attributes in a restricted,cast ridden society.Ammu lived her life on her choice,Estha admires Ammu for what she was
