VS Naipaul's writing is unique due to the fact that the majority of his characters are just normal ordinary people, whose fictional lives have deep meaning. One example is his book, A House for Mr. Biswas, inspired by the life of Naipaul's father, many of whose traits were expressed through the fictional character Mohun Biswas. In A House for Mr. Biswas, Biswas abandons the typical literary template of a rags-to-riches story and tells the honest, realistic story of a man who begins and ends his life simply looking for a house. As the story progresses, the reader becomes more and more aware of Naipaul's pessimistic tone. Mohun's life is driven by a seemingly unattainable goal: finding his own home; However, even as the book nears the end, Mohun's life does not take an extreme turn for the better. Unlike most books written by other authors, VS Naipaul refuses to allow his characters to find complete happiness. The following passage provides an example of Naipaul's mournful tone: "In total, Mr. Biswas lived six years at The Chase, years so crushed by their own boredom and futility that in the end they could be understood from a single glance” (Naipaul 174). ). This tone follows the story until the end, and even when Biswas finally finds a house, the pleasure quickly diminishes: “The very day the house was bought, they began to see faults in it. The stairs were dangerous…” (Naipaul 9). This melancholy character of this tale continues until the very end. The story ends with the death of Mr. Biswas, which is simply described as another death. The cremation of Mr. Biswas "took place on the muddy banks of a muddy stream" and "subsequently, the sisters returned to their respective houses and Shama and the children returned to the Prefect at..... . middle of paper". .....our flag, planted with coconut trees and our hedges. You asked a man what he did…he simply said he worked for the Americans” (Naipaul 258). This passage seems to show Naipaul's views towards the colonialism of foreign nations in third world countries; the narrator states that it was the Americans who reclaimed the nasty land that was once Trinidad and created a beautiful beach out of it. It is for this reason that Naipaul faces criticism from writers such as Walcott, whose writings praise Trinidad's history as rich and beautiful, while Naipaul tends to focus on the dark side of the third party's development -world and foreign imperialism. In conclusion, during his career, VS Naipaul proved his aptitude in handling the English language and introduced his own unique style to the literary world while attracting the animosity and criticism of many readers..
