Pages: 228-233
Abstract
In the paper entitled ‘Psychoanalytical Study of Habib Tanvir’s Bahadur the Wine-Seller and Girish Karnad’s Broken Images’I have tried to explore deep interconnection between literature and psychology. In both the plays that is Bahadur the Wine-Seller by Habib Tanvir and Broken Images by Girish Karnad,one can find the repercussions of disturbed childhood and mental trauma which leads to drastic after effects in later life. Repression in Chhachhaan’s personality as well as in the personality of Manjula was evident. Chhachhaan was brought up by a single mother, in the absence of a father, this created inferiority complex in him. On the other hand, Manjula had to live with her grandparents, away from her parents because of her ailing sister; this made her bitter, aloof, isolated and frustrated. Girish Karnad and Habib Tanvir are innovative playwrights who have tried to unravel human psyche through the deep analysis of human nature.
