As this first section introduces the novel’s central character, protagonist, and narrator (Balram), it also introduces several of its key themes: its exploration, or rather Balram’s exploration, of the nature of entrepreneurship; and its metaphoric comparisons of the relative values of Light and Dark, manifest here in the reference to his chandelier and his home village.
