The document discusses the themes of truth and falsity in Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses. It notes that through violent deaths and hypocrisy, the novel questions religious leaders' control over followers and reintroduces doubt in the sacred. It also highlights how postmodern texts can find that some things like religion cannot be explained and that characters may revisit belief with skepticism as ideology falters. In The Satanic Verses, the boundaries between truth and falsity are ultimately ambiguous as some characters wrestle with religious doubt while others reconsider atheism after supernatural events.
