 1...... How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?

 

                  Arvind Adiga represents real life of Indian. The story reflects both darker and ligh side of Indian. We can see some problems or issues like corruption poverty, crime, education etc... in this novel and it is also a reflection of Indian people's life.

 

2.....Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'?

 

                 Balram’s story is the Archetype of all stories of ‘rags to riches’. Balram has decided to share his own story of entrepreneurial success. He believes his rags-to-riches tale will show the premier “the truth about Bangalore”, representing all that fascinates and appeals to Balram about the Light of urban coastal India. He controls light and darkness, where he once was a slave to circumstance and others.

 

3....."Language bears within itself the necessity of its own critique, deconstructive criticism aims to show that any text inevitably undermines its own claims to have a determinate meaning, and licences the reader to produce his own meanings out of it by an activity of semantic 'freeplay' (Derrida, 1978, in Lodge, 1988, p. 108). Is it possible to do deconstructive reading of The White Tiger? How? 

 

                      Deconstruction reading of Adiga’s “The white Tiger” Here in this novel we perceive that Balram Halwai's character that it may be those “autobiography of half-naked Indian". Because Adiga present reality of life or India.text itself gives for insight with deconstruction those content .
