Realism In Aravind Adiga’s Last Man In Tower

Abstract

The characteristics of Realistic fiction tend to take the first place in the present or recent past literature. The characters and the background portrayed in the works are real or seem real. The characters represent real people with their real issues and try to solve them realistically. The characters are not imaginary but are engaging and authentic. There is an honest portrayal of the problems faced by the characters. The solutions to the problems are also discernible and plausible; there will not be any supernatural things. This paper is an attempt to trace these characteristics of realism in Aravind Adiga’s novel Last Man in Tower.
