This Blessed House

The differences between relativist and fundamentalist is reflected in "This Blessed House" through the characters Twinkle and Sanjeev. Twinkle is more of a relativist. She readily accepts the presence of another religion in her house. Sanjeev represents a more fundamental set of belief. He, unlike Twinkle, does not accept the Christan influence in the house left by the past owners. Because they have opposite sets of beliefs they have issues compromising through out the story. They never really come to an agreement about things like the Virgin Mary statue that Twinkle finds so beautiful and Sanjeev wants nothing to do with.
