When I look at all of the characters in The God Of Small Things, I am reminded again and again of Pappachi and how he was so upset that someone else had stolen his discovery and credited it for himself. This part makes Pappachi one of the most interesting characters, even though he has ruined his life with alcohol and stress, that is what makes him so interesting. I wonder if when he was a young child he was one of those kids who didn't seem like they liked anything, but deep inside he had some burning ideas and desires to explore the world.
