Abstract
Purpose of the study: The main purpose of researching this topic is to discover how the conflict occurs between the state and characters of society, in light of the theological apparatus and interpellation of Althusser by the concept of the novel Home Fire.
Methodology: A qualitative approach is used to study Home Fire by Kamala Shamsie in the light of the concept of theological apparatus and interpellation of Althusser.
Main Findings: Findings show that In this novel, we see that different ways are used to suppress society like ISA's; moreover, it also includes how the state becomes dominant over people. Many clashes of ideas occur between both—the ideology of Althusser dominant ideas of ISA and RSA and character in Shamsie's Home Fire.
Applications of this study: This research contributes to the field of conflict between State and Society literature.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is one of its kind and helps us understand the concept and contention between society, family, and faith in the modern world.
