Quote #10

[Baby Kochamma] gnawed like a rat into the godown of Chacko's grief. Within its walls she planted an easy, accessible target for his insane anger. It wasn't hard for her to portray Ammu as the person actually responsible for Sophie Mol's death. Ammu and her two-egg twins. (19.101)

Again, if there's one person who's a master at playing mind-games and dispensing blame, it's Baby Kochamma. In moments of disbelief and sorrow, it's easy to pin blame on someone else just to help make sense of what's going on. This is what ends up happening between Chacko and Ammu.
