Roy uses the "moth" constantly within this book. For instance, "The moth on Rahel's heart spread its velvet wings, and the chill crept into her bones." (pg 108) Or another quote, "How Pappachi's Moth whispered in his children's veins!" (pg 69) These two quotes are just a couple example's out of the book. Roy Constantly uses it when something dramatic is happening to a character. Or a way of describing an event. This symbolizes to me that inside each member of that family lives a moth. Each on creeps around in their blood. It spreads throughout them like an overwhelming sense of pain. It is past on through the family generations, and I'm wondering if you are feeling that it's symbolized in the same way or a different one? Does the moth seam like a scare over the family, or more of a description?
