ABSTRACT:

Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things is apolysemic novel which can be interpreted at several levels. It may be said thatthe novel is a satire on politics attacking specifically the Communistestablishment. It may be treated as a family saga narrating the story of fourgenerations of a Christian family. It may also be treated as a novel havingreligious overtones: One may also call it a protest novel which is subversiveand taboo-breaking.
