Quote #10

Rahel put on her sunglasses and looked back into the Play. Everything was Angry-colored. Sophie Mol, standing between Margaret Kochamma and Chacko, looked as though she ought to be slapped. (8.218).

This moment is a great example of how Rahel interprets what her senses tell her. Here, the red lenses of her sunglasses make the world look angry to her, but we might guess that that's because she's already angry. And as for the Sophie Mol part – we all know what it's like to see someone else getting all the attention and feeling mad that they don't really deserve it.
