This study aims to analyze the subaltern portrayed and to reveal the struggle of subaltern by the main characters in The God of Small Things. In this novel, the subaltern issue that happened to the main characters. The character of the novel is experienced subaltern condition in their daily life. The data were analyzed through words and quotations in the novel by using subaltern theory based on Gayatri Spivak (1988). This study uses the descriptive qualitative method to analyze and reveal the subaltern portrayed towards the main characters on the novel with the result in the form of an essay. The result of this study indicates that The God of Small Things novel appears to be discussing the representation of the West and the East along with the postcolonial spatial strategy of the dualistic condition of post-colonial India, despite the fact that India itself is one of the dualistic post-colonial societies that is still carrying out Indian traditions while carrying out colonial heritage. Both concepts have rules that govern people's lives and have very strict boundaries. Therefore, the novel depicted the West and East in the context of the domestic space and its surroundings, which eventually leads to transgressions.
