Write your abstract here.The God of Small ThingsAuthors: Arun Dati RoyAbstract by: KantrooAbstract Type: Abstract ?God Of .Small Things? represents the changed value system. No God or His indifference to human fateconvinces the author that a value shift has taken place in the direction of physical pleasures and fulfillment.And the other value system does nothing different but deny what it practices. The novel irons out the inconsistencyin the ages-old love-laws laid down by that system. Small Things thus become all important and their provider is ?the new God?. The Book reflecting many facets of Indian life-still fogged in the mist of obscurantism, portrays the story of an Indian woman born of a Syrian Christian family; marrying a Bengali Hindu and; begetting him a pair of twins-a boy and a girl-Estha Esthapen and Rahel and; ultimately divorced. The twins grow to look at the world their way and color it after their imagination-which somehow turns into a human experience by the time they are mature enough to call it one.Estha?s love and fascination for the dying pet who reflects the world outside in an uncivilized way through his diseased glaze, seems to rate the worth of the big world that way. The world with crude compulsions of sensuality camouflaging it into a gross self-deception, a hypocritical yet pathetic loss of human love and compassion, enticing humans into a criminal naiveté, and a whole edifice of moral, ethical and canonical codes that stultify human emotion into deadwood of routine preventing its smooth flow and release, that would be nourishing, nurturing and emancipating otherwise, have been satirized through innocent yet spontaneous remarks of the children that seem to ?lithotriptize? the ?solid? universalisms of ?chronic wisdom?.The protagonist of the novel-divorced mother of the children-had a shot lived but not permitted relationship with a low caste boy, whose sycophant father betrays them to the lady?s parental ?trustees?. Pat come condemnation leading to degradation and death of both. Self-justifying guilt, angered, brings ruin to rebelling innocence that is defiant too. Hammer and tongs go for an easy alliance. Depiction marvelous. Landscape, climate, human situations, interpersonal relations, characters of men, women, old and young- mean, selfish, corrupt and petty depicted with dexterity and realism, though in contradistinction to the other real- having abundance and richness of colors of imagination-pulsating to translate into reality!The author plays with and ?tickles? the words to let them giggle out meanings! Language is meaningfully melodious, musical and vibrant.Depiction of Karan- Kunti?s son-during a temple dance is allegoric The subtlety of expression, soft and supple is malicious.
