I think I would interpret "This Blessed House" like a Marxist Critic because when I read this story I see two classes, the upper class is represented by Twinkle and the lower class is represented by Sanjeev, through this we see how the lower class envys the upper class.

Through a reader response perspective, what stood out to me when I read "A Temporary Matter" was the idea of confession, and how people tend to confess their secrets as a result of significant or traumatic events.

From a Marxist point of view, the short story "Interpreter of Maladies" has two social classes; the American tourists, and the Indian tour guide. From my point of view through a Marxist lens, the message of the story is that the lower class wishes to step up to even footing with the upper class, but that can't happen unless both classes cooperate to make it so. (Also, Jake, why are you first again?!)

Through a Marxist lens, the short story "A Real Durwan" has three distinct classes: an upper class represented by the Dahals, a middle class represented by the other people in the building, and a lower class symbolized by Boori Ma.

I believe that Interpreter of Maladies is best visualized by a critic with a Marxist lens because they could easily identify the two distinct social classes and how they interact with each other.

The Third and Final Continent can be interpreted by a Marxist critic as the upper class being represented by Mrs. Croft and the lower class being represented by the man.

A Real Durwan read through a Marxist lens, shows two classes and how they interact with each other; Boori Ma represents the lower class and the other people living in the building represent the upper class.

When you read, "Interpreter of Maladies," with a psychoanalytic lens, you will see many aspects of the story in other ways such as Mr. Das' camera, Mr. Kapasi and Mr. and Mrs. Das, and Mr. Kapasi's psycho-drama.

If the story "A Real Durwan" is read from a marxist point of view, the critic will see the two separate classes and how they interact; the upper class is represented by the residents of the building while the lower class is portrayed by the main character, Boori Ma.

When interpreting "The Treatment of Bibi Haldar" through a psychoanalytic view, I saw that Bibi represents the unconcious(id), the doctor and her friends represent the ego and Haldar and his wife represent the concious (superego).

When obvserving "Sexy" through a feminist point of view, the critic will think about how the affair is basically taking advantage of Miranda since it is with a married man.

Through a reader response perspective, what made the greatest impression to me after reading "A Temporary Matter," was how a tragic event grows families apart, and later confession takes over the true value in a married couples relationship.

If you read "Sexy" through a feminist lens, you feel incredibly bad for Miranda and Dev's wife because they are both being taken advantage of and deserve better.

One way to construe Interpreter of Maladies is from a feminist viewpoint because of Jhumpa Lahari’s portrayal of Mrs. Das as a caricature of an American wife, mother, and woman.

I believe that Marxism is the best theory to interpret "A Real Durwan" with because, the story brilliantly shows class struggle in a way that is different than in many other stories.

From a feminist point of view, "Sexy" demonstrates how women are often mistreated in relationships because men find themselves to be superior.
