HAYAVADANA ( WOMEN IN HAYAVADANA )

INTRODUCTION :-

   Girish karnad 's play , Hayavadana (1971) is not worthy play because it is the first work to translate into notable practice the debate over the usefulness of original performance genres in the development of a new , quintessentially 'Indian ' theatre .  Girish karnad  has derived myths to look for the subject matter for his play . in the " Authors' s introduction" three plays ,Girish Karnad writes.

                  the play is based on story from a collection of tales called the kathasaritsagara and the further  development of this story  by   Thomas Mann in " the transposed heads "

     in Hayavadan  karnad deals with  the question  of head  and body with a different purpose. Interestingly , the main and the sub -plot of Hayavadan deal with the moral and philosophical aspect of the problem raising more important issues relating to the human existence. Girish karnad projects  the female character in very diffarant manner. his female character possesses qualities like attractive ,clever ,energetic, and more dominant  than male character in the play. through female character ,girish karnad presents image of modern women who is caught between two ideas, one her quest for completeness and other is her search for individual rights in male dominated society. 

   Girish Karnad presents his female protagonist relevance to modern context to show weakness of male dominated Indian  social system. in this respect, observation on the women character in Hayavadana are discussed in detail.
