The people of Miguel Street are an interesting bunch. The characters are very colorful. However, the culture is somewhat brutal and lacks a stable family structure. The men of Miguel Street fight, steal and beat their wives seemingly without remorse. They have a hierarchy of masculinity that includes disreputable behavior. One of the most important settings of Miguel Street is Titus Hoyt's school since it is the place where Elias and the author could learn to pass the Cambridge Exam and escape Miguel Street. The street itself contains a tight community of people. Everyone knows everyone else and Naipaul has a number of close friends in his rag-tag gang. An important feature of the setting is that it reflects the fact that opportunity is sought after on Miguel Street but rarely achieved. Something about the social and political culture of the area seems to hold them back.
