Forbidden Love, Philia, Eros, Agape, Storge, and Xenia, Four Law’s

‘Forbidden love’ is a major theme that runs through The God of Small things, but in order to understand it, one must deal with themes such as ‘love’ and ‘forbid’. The second kind of forbidden love is that Pappachi’s sister Baby Kochamma. For example, Ancient Greek has different words to denote different aspects of the English word love i.e., Philia, Eros, Agape, Storge, and Xenia. Eros ((ἔρως érōs) (from the Greek deity Eros) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. But the unduly steps taken by men or women to attain through shortcut methods makes it a Forbidden Fruit. The relationship between Velutha and Ammmu is solely the pleasing of the body which is not accompanied by the full gusto of Eros. Even her own inner moral law doesn’t allow her for an open relationship with Velutha that is why, “Love by night the man her children love by day”
