    Arundhati Roy

    The God of Small Things


    1. How is oppression of women portrayed throughout the novel? How is this reflected in

    Ammu’s life?

    2. What role does politics play in the novel? How does Roy portray the Communist Party in

    Kerala? In this sense, what kind of character is Chacko?

    3. What are the most significant symbols within the novel?

    4. Compare Ammu's and Velutha's secret sexual relationship to Rahel's and Estha's incestuous

    relationship. Is one or the other more forbidden? How do they express the psychology of the

    various characters involved?

    5. Consider Roy's literary style. How does her use of perspective, time, fantasy, refrain, and any

    other element you wish to discuss affect the way we perceive the story?
