God of Small Things Final Response
I found the end of this novel to be both disturbing and disheartening. Baby Kochamma continued to be just about the worst you can be, antagonizing and terrifying the twins, saying that they killed Sophie, and that they are essentially going to rot in jail. She began the book as an awful character, only to end it the same way. Little to no character growth for her. The fact that the twins ending up doing it in the end is really disgusting. We even joked in class about this happening. I had no idea it would turn into an actual thing. The whole ending of this novel was kind of a depressing disaster with everyone's life falling apart, or becoming really screwed up. Incest, death, prison... I mean just about anything awful that could've happened in this last stanza happened. A fitting end to a strange novel.
