Abstract

The Namesake, a novel written by Indian-American writer Jhumpa Lahiri who won the Pulitzer Prize for literature in 2004, tells a story of the first and second generation of Indian immigrants in the United States. In the novel, different types of spatial images such as train, house and so on really play an important role in shaping characters, displaying themes and promoting the plot development of the story.
