The irony of becoming a monk
It is satirical that Don decides to be a monk after he corrupts a law enforcement officer to acquit him for any wrongdoing after killing an innocent child in a road accident. The profession of a monk requires an individual to be religious with a clean record in life. Ironically, Don, who is a murderer, decides to become a monk to hide his sins.
The satire of social work
Don is a character of many colors, and he is determined to do good in man's eyes to hide his bad behavior. After becoming a monk, Don's vision becomes scary. Therefore, he decides to work in the community to help the less fortunate in society. Consequently, the life of Don is an absolute satire.
Marisa’s career
Marisa is among the many women who think that age affects their career, unlike their male counterparts. Ironically, there is no empirical evidence to show that an aging woman becomes incapable of executing her career duties. Therefore, men have brainwashed women to be highly productive in their careers when they are young and beautiful, which is common in the film industry where Marisa works.
The irony of pi O
pi O is a police officer who is responsible for protecting and defending the law at all times. Ironically, pi O is on the frontline in violating the same laws that he is to protect. For instance, pi O accepts a bribe from Don to declare him free of any wrongdoing.
The irony of Don, Marisa, and Arun
The three major characters in this book know that they are offenders in one way or the other. For instance, Don knows that he belongs to jail, but he is free. Similarly, Marisa knows that she was introduced to the entertainment industry by a corrupt man. On the other hand, Arun knows that his uncle was an evil man but still cherishes him. Satirically, there is no single character who is ready to redeem himself or herself. During the floods, the three characters stick together, waiting for their fate without any sign of confession.
