Analysis Of Chetan Bhagat's Novels

The emotionally nervous young people dominate the bulk of his novels. Their failure and frustration are not unfamiliar to anyone. Their attitude of: To be or not to be or ‘Now more than ever seems it rich to die to cease upon mid night with no pain.’ are the feelings that come to the mind of each and every one, especially the young people, every now and then during the emotional disorder. That’s why suicide is an important component in all the works of Chetan Bhagat. In his first novel, Neha’s brother commits suicide, Alok tires to do so when he finds the prevailing pressure unbearable, Esha in One Night @the Call Center could not refrain herself from thinking of trying the unnatural way of terminating her life.
