The God of Small Things

Style and Technique

The God of Small Things is distinguished by its unique narrative structure, where time is nonlinear and the plot weaves between the past and present of the characters. Arundhati Roy uses rich language and metaphors to describe the cultural and social aspects of Indian society. The author employs literary devices such as irony and sarcasm to critique social norms and ideologies. Roy also pays attention to small details, things often overlooked, but which carry deep meaning and significance for understanding the lives of the characters and society as a whole.
