The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

So far, I can see some of the Orientalism in this book. I notice how stereotypes have been shown(women in there place beneath a man, woman not married being a bad and embarrassing thing, etc). I have noticed the classes and I never real thought there was a class struggle in other countries. I'm curious about the relationship of Esta and Rahel. How will that grow. Why did Ammu not see how upset Esta was about the man at the theater. Why did not anyone go with him outside? Why did he not tell her? Was he scarred? I noticed fear playing a part in this as well. Classes not mingling or "touching". What is Valutha's part in this? I 'll keep reading to find out and hope to have a more thorough blog next week.
