Millennium Modern Women in Girish Karnad’s Play Yayati

Abstract

The paper attempts to present the innovative depiction of the ancient myth in a modern light by Girish Karnad. Girish Karnad’s feminine sensibility is also well understood through the delineation of women characters in the play Yayati. This paper also concentrates on the conventional and modern sensibility used by Karnad to analyse the part played by women in the contemporary society. Through the paper, the scholar also coveys the dramatists perspective that the women should also abide by the traditional and conventional values and should try to find the solutions to the problems they face without breaking or ignoring those values.
