Summary
Analysis
Pi’s clothes eventually disintegrate from the sun and salt, and he gets salt-water boils on his skin from being constantly wet. These burst painfully and Pi often cannot find a comfortable position to lie in.
The repetition of the same clothes and the same uncomfortable positions is a negative part of Pi’s routine. In his nakedness another divide is broken down between Pi and Richard Parker.
