Will Gogol ever truly accept his name? How do you know?
1 answer
It is difficult to ascertain whether Gogol will ever truly accept his name as the book "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri leaves this question open-ended. However, as the story progresses, Gogol undergoes a transformation in his understanding of identity and family heritage. He begins to appreciate the significance of his name and the connection it holds to his cultural roots. Thus, there is a possibility that Gogol may eventually come to accept his name, but it is left up to the reader's interpretation.
