Desire and Tragedy: An Enquiry on Basheer’s Balyakalasakhi
Keywords:
Desire, Tragedy, Psychoanalysis Id, Ego, Super EgoAbstract
Vaikom Muhammed Basheer was one among the pioneers of the spirit of Renaissance and Romanticism in Malayalam literature. The novels of Basheer have recorded accurately the life stages like love,separation, desire and tragedy. They succeeded in creating positive changes in the life of Malayalee readers. It is the writer’s skill in observing human behaviour and insight that makes his works creatively supreme.Since there is the organic presence of human mind in his works it is possible to analyse and explain them in the light of psychological theories. This treatise is a psychological analysis of the presentation of desire and tragedy in Balyakalasakhi which deals with the complexities of human mind and existence.
