- Title
Beauty in Karnad's Play Flowers.
- Authors
Sankaranarayanan, Smitha
- Abstract
The play that I have selected to explain the various aspects of beauty in the works of Girish Karnad is Flowers. The priest is the protagonist of the play and being a reserved man, he has lived all his life in isolation from the mechanical world. As John Keats mentions in his most celebrated Ode on the Grecian Urn, Beauty is truth, Truth Beauty That is all ye know on Earth And all ye need to know. As we turn the pages of the work, our senses are enlightened by the many glimpses of beauty. Beauty is celebrated at various levels in this particular play of Karnad. But the play also shows certain foibles of human beings.
