- Abstract
K. V. Dominic’s “God’s Tribunal” is a One Act Play which stands as a good example in Indian English literature for the departure from the reality. Reality is one thing / aspect and departure is another. Reality narrates one as it exists, prevails and functions. Departure is a deviant one deviating for the present position/existence. This One Act Play presents a complicated issue – man mishandling the problems on the earth, about which animals (cow, tiger), bird (cuckoo), Nature (tree), fish, the earth, why even women complain to God for justice. What are their complaints against man and how God reacts to them are truthfully narrated by the writer. Has the earth become unlivable? Is the earth for human beings only? What are the problems in the human kind? Is man doing more harm than good? The 9 characters (God, Earth, Man, Woman, Cow, tiger, cuckoo, tree and fish) also present a deviant argument and picture which are lively and true. The paper presents a vivisection of the One Act Play and also a reality of departure – a novel portrait in words by the playwright.
