Analyse in detail how either important relationships or conflicts in your text made you feel about the main idea.
In the novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup, an important idea is revenge. Revenge is the main idea but it is also under lying at the same time. You have to read the book to the end to realise that.
The idea of revenge comes into place when Ram is staying with a famous actress called Neelima Kumari. She always has this 'mysterious man' around at all times of the night. But every morning she's always beaten with cigarette burns all over her. To Ram this is just unacceptable. That is where Ram promises to get revenge on this mysterious man who happens to be Prem Kumar. A famous television host. This relationship is very important to the main idea of the story which is revenge. In that particular chapter when Prem and Neelima do start to meet, that is the point in the story when Neelima starts to spiral out of control. Ram is also a part of that relationship because he cares about Neelima. He hates seeing what's happening to her and decides to make a vow of revenge.
When the story continues Ram never forgets the vow he made long ago. It's always in the back of his mind and as he continues through life he's slowly plotting. Again we come back to that idea of revenge. Every event Ram goes through it all leads to him being a contestant on 'Who wants to be a millionaire'. People would get confused with the events considering it is not a linear time frame. Each event is read as he answers a question. This is why the idea of Revenge is under lying until the very end of the book. I personally think Rams idea of revenge makes him stronger. It gives him that drive and passion to continue through life the way he was going and survive. He devotes his life to achieving this that he sort of loses sight of what's really important. Looking after family and friends.
"There is some pleasure even in pain. A sweet ecstasy." This quote sums up Q&A quite well I think. It is talking about Ram achieving his goal of revenge and how he should feel 'good' about it. Fortunately Ram decides to change his mind at the last second. He realised that revenge isn't about hurting people. The definition of revenge is "the action of hurting or harming someone in return for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands."
