"The Rooster Coop"·"the Black Fort"·"Jungle"

Aravind Adiga has been always focusing on writing about social realities in modern India,especially the existence plight of public.Due to it,he occupied a conspicuous place of contemporary Indian English literature.He portrayed the existence plight of public in modern India with bitter incisiveness from various perspectives via his three novels,separately The White Tiger(The winner of The Man Booker Prize in 2008),Between the Assassinations and Last Man in Tower.Based on this inner logic of Adiga’s literary works,using the method of combining text analysis and theoretic explanation,this thesis intends to progressively interpret the central topic about the existence plight of public in modern India for clues of the key imagery in works which separately are "the Rooster Coop","the Black Fort" and "jungle".From the angle of culture,it will center on "the Rooster Coop" to analyze the bondage to public particularly those at the bottom(or the subaltern)by the traditional caste cultural illness.Besides,it tries to inquire the difficult situations caused by class solidification focusing on"the Black Fort" with a viewpoint of social structure.Moreover,the suppression of public including the middle class by liberal economies to the principle of "interests are over anything else" will be demonstrated via "jungle" in terms of economy.Based on the above discussion,it could be found that Adiga’s works had their own literary characteristics and achievements among the modern Indian English literature.Beginning as a journalist,Adiga is keeping a sharp eye to precisely describe the existence plight of public from various perspectives,thus making up the shortage of theme reacting slow to the great changing of times,which exactly most of modern Indian English authors ignored.His concern for the proposition of "survival dilemma" has also supplemented the writing of contemporary English literature on this proposition with Indian themes.At this point,his work has trended from the nation to the world.
