Freud would say that Chandler’s childhood experiences would have an enormous…

In a sense Malgudi is "Narayan 's Casterbridge". By presenting the socio-cultural environment and by showing the inter-relatedness as well as (where things depend on each other) of the place and its people, Narayan gives equal importance to the place as to the people.
