Interpreter of Maladies

This story didn't really seem to have any kind of resounding message, just a story to be told. The wife's not caring about her own kids and marriage is kind of horrible I mean if your own mother doesn't care about you when you're young what kind of effect is that going to have on the kids when they grow up. It seemed as if neither of the parents wanted to be there at all they were just going through the motions of being a parent and taking them on a vacation because they felt like they had too. I don't really see why Mr. Kapasi's attraction for Mrs. Das faded right when she started telling basically what he had been hoping to hear. Maybe it was the fact that she had an affair and therefore was not faithful to her husband and still continued to lie to him about this fact. The address fluttering away as the child is being saved seems to be a kind of symbol that the kids are what is holding the marriage together and therefore keeping Mr. Kapasi out.
