Unaccustomed Earth - 4

This fourth story seems very different from Lahiri's other stories, but it also has many similarities. While it still has a Bengali protagonist who resents their parents and their upbringing, I feel that it mostly focuses on the relationships between Amit and the other characters. Amit is still the typiccal main character who is a bit whiney, grey, and sad. But he's never outrightly rejecting or upset about his Bengali culture or the fact that he was always a little different from everyone else. He is resentful towards his parents, but that's more because they just weren't present verses the other stories where the paretns are always there. He also has the same sort of relationship with his spouse as the other stories have. It's a marriage where the love is still there but children adn life are in the way and there isn't as much passion in their relationship anymore, and that's been pretty consistant through every story.
