As I was reading Interpreter of Maladies the first thing I observed was how the author made it clear that Mr. and Mrs. Das are a young married couple. The way it was mentioned that they aren’t even in their thirties yet gave off the impression, to me as the reader, that they were married young and maybe don’t have the relationship they want to have. It is clear that Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Das do have a strange relationship being that Mrs. Das is a married woman. For some reason she feels comfortable open up to him about her son not belonging to her husband which isn’t something a married woman just shares. In my opinion she does this to let him know she did have an affair to show the kind of woman she is. It’s clear that they are flirting and she wanted him to know her clear intentions.
