    Julia Golubenko Mrs. Greenfield Close Reading and Critical Writing November 13‚ 2007 The movie Namesake was a fairly good depiction of the book. As a movie‚ apart from the book‚ it was good. The characters played their role well‚ emotional scenes were shown‚ and the point of the movie was easy to see.

This was taking out a huge part of his life‚ where Gogol actually chose

    Literary Analysis-The Namesake The important theme of naming and identity is introduced at the very beginning‚ when Ashima calls out for her husband. She does not use his name when she calls for him‚ since "it’s not the type of thing Bengali wives do" (Lahiri‚ J. p. 2). Their husbands’ names are considered too intimate to be used.
