About This Quote
In this quote from the novel "The God of Small Things", it is important to understand that despite all of his sharp words, Kuttappan is a man who still has a very good heart. He is a very strong and powerful man, but even he must bow down to the power of love. He doesn't want the little girl that he loves to be hurt, and so his only solution is to destroy her love. If she truly loves him, she will eventually fall in love with someone else.
Unfortunately for Kuttappan, his attempts at destroying the girl's love for him ultimately fail. The quote also implies that even though Kuttappan is so strong and powerful, he is still aware that he has some weaknesses and needs some help from time to time.
