One of the most enduring issues in the analysis for semantics is the nature of an auxiliary system that helps a main verb for thematic interpretation. The issue of this paper is to analyze how the auxiliary helps the main verb to give the interpretation of a writer. I have culled out some usages of Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies for this analysis. He expresses his semantic ideas with the aid of auxiliaries. The usefulness of a primary auxiliary verb for stylistic analysis may depend on the aspectual function it serves in relation to the lexical verb: for example, whether an action is still going on, no longer functioning etc. These verbs may be of concern in relation to the accuracy of our analysis of time in the literary work
