A CRITICAL STUDY OF MAHESH ELKUNCHWAR'S PSYCHE AS A PROTAGONIST OF THE PLAY REFLECTION: MAN IN SEARCH OF HIMSELF

Abstract

In the modern world man accustoms himself to a machine-like life. He wants to earn a lot –money, good name in the society, popular among all and so on. For this reason, he/she does anything to earn laurels. One can find a few numbers of people live a casual and realistic life. They understand and accept the stark reality of life and makeup themselves to the life situations. On the other hand, rest of them run after the life’s last end to make themselves known to all. (Record breakers can be included in this group). In this translated play Reflection, the author has portrayed the dilemma of the protagonist who lost his reflection on the mirror one fine morning and how the loss affected him and how he came out of it. He used a new dramatic technique called Entering One’s Mind to describe the protagonist’s psyche.
