Ruth, Ghosh, Ben - Characters, The Namesake | The Namesake - Summary, Themes & Characters - Novels PDF Download

Ruth

Ruth is Gogol's first serious girlfriend, but their relationship doesn't last long in terms of pages. Gogol meets Ruth, a white fellow student at Yale when he takes the seat next to her on the train. They strike up a conversation and begin dating. Ruth leaves for Oxford for a semester and a summer, and when she returns, they no longer get along and break up. Ruth sets up a paradigm for Gogol's "type": she's bookish and Anglo-American – everything his parents are not.

Ghosh

Ghosh is a businessman that Ashoke meets on the fateful night of his train accident in 1961. With the story of his own life, he inspires Ashoke to travel to America. Ghosh had worked in England for two years, but his wife couldn't stand it, so he returned to India, and now he's miserable. Ghosh dies in the train accident.

Ben

Ben is Sonia's fiancé, whom we meet at the end of the book. We don't know much about him, other than the fact that he's white and he seems nice enough. Here's hoping those two crazy kids can make it work.
