- Abstract
This paper is an attempt to interpret a fact that Friendship is one of the prevailing facets of the Middle English and Tamil Elegies. Elegy is a sad poem usually written to praise and express sorrow for high positioned person who is dead. Though, this paper projects the elegies of two different cultures and traditions, it neatly delineates the fine illustrations of friendship which is common in both the elegies. This paper focuses not only the common facets of elegies but also in the contrast fact that is friend in Tamil elegies between the king and the poet, the patron and the poet, which is sincere and natural, but in English it is the friendship between friends, which is insincere and artificial.
