Symbolism in "Clothes" by Chitra Divakaruni Discussion:

1. Reflect on the quote, "A married women belongs to her husband, her in laws." Discuss your opinion of arranged marriages in the Indian culture. Are they right, wrong, or just in the practice of Indian culture? Sumita complains of the "unfairness of it," but how does her marriage develop throughout the story? Do you they think were truly in love?

2. What does the "blouse and skirt the color of almonds" symbolize to Sumita?

3. Referring to the above definitions, what kind of symbolism is present throughout the story? Explain.

4. Is there any significance to how the story is set up? In other words, is it important that the story is broken up into four separate portions? What is the significance of the actual wedding and funeral, two major experiences, being left out?
