Conclusion Chapter 2. Pappachi’s Moth.

In this chapter the author Arundathi Roy focuses the attention on the “small things” and the "big things" related to Pappachi, Mammachi and Ammu and the influence of these things on the characters’ lives. In the case of Pappachi, his big thing is his discovery of the moth that it is not taken into account as he expects; on the other hand this important discovery affects his daily life with Mammachi in a violent way. The bad relationship between them and the successful Mammachi is running her own factory are considered to be small things. Marriage is considered by the author a “big Thing” and so for Mammachi and Ammu their failure in getting marriage the wrong person and also being diminished by them are the “small things” that take more recognition and interest.
