This document summarizes a paper analyzing themes of hybridity in Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children. It defines hybridity as the mixture of two cultures, religions, or races. The paper discusses how hybridity is illustrated through the novel's diverse characters and their relationships, such as the complicated relationship between Saleem and Shiva due to their differing religions. It also analyzes how the characters Saleem, Shiva, and Parvati connect to Hindu mythology. In conclusion, the document states that hybridity is now seen everywhere and must be accepted as a sign of interdependence between nations.
