Abstract

In Nagamandala Girish Karnad presents a clash between the traditions of society and the desire for individual fulfillment. The clash becomes all the more striking when a male member of society is given unrestricted freedom to fulfill his sexual desire, while a female is left languishing within the four walls of her house. Girish Karnad turns the tables and presents a woman’s repressed desire to fulfill her sexual needs outside conjugal bond by having relationship with a ‘Cobra’. In Nagamandala Girsih, Karnad has presented the skewed attitude of society against women in matters of sexuality through the use of myth.
