She hates her children when playing spitbubbles. It reminds her to her ex-husband. She thinks that those who play spitbubbles are only people who come
from the lowest class. Because they come from the upper class, they should behave politely.
‘Will you stop that’ Ammu said, so loudly that Murlidharan, who had hopped off the milestone to stare into the Plymouth, backed off, his
stumps jerking in alarm. ‘What?’ Rahel said, but knew immediately what. Her spitbubble. ‘Sorry,
Ammu.’Roy 85 According to Ammu, only clerks behaved like that, not aristocrats
Roy 84.
Through direct comment, speech, mannerism, and character as seen by another, it can be concluded that Ammu is a strict mother. Besides the influence
of her father, the situation in her life makes her become strict. She does not want her children to behave impolitely.

She always ensures her children that she has prepared a future for them. She tells her children that they will live together in a room. She tells Rahel that she
buys comics for Rahel and Estha. Ammu has to keep the promise until she gets a job and rent a room Roy 159. Believing that she can earn enough money for her
children shows that Ammu is a hard worker. On her struggle in her society, she falls in love with a paravan named
Velutha. In Indian society, it is banned to love a man or a woman from a lower caste. Ammu breaks the society rules. She falls in love with Velutha. They have a
forbidden love relationship. One night, they make a forbidden act. They are making love. This make the problem in Ammu’s life is getting harder. This
tragedy causes another problem to arise. Such as Ammu’s children separation and family separation.

while to find a proper job. She wants make a better life so that she can afford a decent living for her children-Rahel and Estha Roy 302.
Ammu makes sure her children that she will build a school and they do not need to pay. They will not pay the school fee because the school is theirs. Ammu
will be the teacher and they will own a new house to start a new life. ‘Don’t be silly Estha. It’ll be soon,’Ammu’s mouth said.
‘I’ll be a teacher. I’ll start a school. And you and Rahel will be in it.’ ‘And we’ll be able to afford it because it will be ours’
Estha said with his enduring pragmatism. His eye on the main chance. Free bus rides. Free funerals. Free education. Little Man. He lived in a cara-van.
Dum dum. ‘We’ll have our own house,’ Ammu said Roy 325.
Ammu is really a hard worker and a responsible mother. She dies alone in a grimy room. She dies in Bharat Lodge in Alleppey. She dies there when she wants
to attend a job interviews as a secretary. She really works hard to find a job to earn enough money for her family until she dies Roy 161.
Through the speech and mannerism, it can be concluded that Ammu is a hard worker. She works hard to get a living for her children. As a hard worker, she
accepts any kind of job to earn money for her family.
