The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.

Which sentence best describes an aesthetic impact?
goldenfox [79]

Aesthetics is refers in a very simple way as the theory of beauty, it is used in arta, in this case, literature. It makes a lot of different questions related to beauty and similar concepts. What makes things beautiful? Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how? You can see that this is a concept that is very difficult to address as philosophers continue debating towards it's elements and characteristics. In this case we are talking of an aesthetic impact, feeling in a powerful way, the beauty of a text. I think the best answer therefore is: D) The way the plot comes full circle is meant to make the reader fell satisfied.

Some of the characteristics of art that we most enjoy are the symmetry and harmony, literature is not the exception, we feel pleaced when this is achieved in a story or a poem. By having a plot that comes full circle this is accomplished, giving the sensation to the reader that he had a round experience, in which nothing was left aside closing the circle.
