Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 10
Abstract
Girish Karnad, a popular playwrights, scriptwriter, actor, director and reception of various awards, is a significant name in the Indian literary scenario. Karnad established himself as a noted and talented dramatist after the publication of Yayati (1961) and Tughlaq(1964). Karnad being a translator, his translations sparkle with „eye catching‟ novelty and he pecularises the trends from mythology or from history. The modern dramatists have successfully made use of such modes and myths. In the Indian theater tradition there has been a strong impact of mythology and history though it has not produced anything of permanent worth. Karnad was aware that this tradition has a tremendous potential, as the elements of myth and history are very common to Indian audiences. So Karnad makes use of such myths and legends as metaphors for contemporary situations and this has induced to make a study of his play – “YAYATI”.
