Question

Which character is described as submissive, nervous, and silent in the novel?

• A. Chacko
• B. Estha
• C. Velutha
• D. Comrade Pillai

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Estha

Estha (Esthappen Yakko), Ammu’s son and Rahel’s twin, is depicted as quiet, sensitive, and deeply affected by the traumas he faces — notably his molestation at the hands of the orange drink lemon drink man. His silence reflects the inner scars left by these events.
