Jhumpa Lahiri's " The Namesake" explore feminist view and Esides Ashima,which characters are marked by alienation ? How do they experience it?

Gogal also feel alienated, especially when he realizes that "no one he knows in the world,in Russia or India or America or anywhere,shares him name.Not even the source of his namesake. "Gogal also feels alienated sometime in his marriage to Moushumi.when hi finds remnants of her life with Graham around the apartment they now share together,he wonders of " he represents some sort of capitulation or defeat".when they go to Paris together,he wishes it were her first time there,too,so he didn't feel so out of place while she feel so obviously comfortable.

When Maxine comes to stay with the Gangulis at the end of the mourning period for Ashoke,Gogal can tell "she feels useless, a bit excluded in this house full of Bengalis." it's the way he is used to feeling around her extended family and friends in new Hampshire.

The theme of alienation appears in Moushumi's life, as she describes to Gogal how she rejected all the Indian suitors with which her parents tried to set her up. She tells him,"she was convinced in her bones that there would be no one at all. Sometimes she wondered if it was her horror of being married to someone she didn't love that had caused her, subconsciously, to shut herself off." She went to Paris so she could reinvent herself without the confusion of where she fit in.
