Question: Suicide is an important theme in Hamlet; Discuss how the play treats the idea of suicide morally, Religiously and aesthetically with particular attending to Hamlet’s two important statement about suicide. “O, that this too too solid flesh would melt” soliloquy. Although capable of suicide, man humans beings choose to live, despite the cruelty, pain and injustice of the World?

                          English poet and playwright William Shakespeare was born and raised Stratford-upon-Avon. He was baptized on 26th April, 1564. His father John Shakespeare was a barges of there recently contituted corporation of Stratford. His mother Mary Arden was a local landed heiress. William Shakespeare had two sister, Joan and Judith and Three younger brothers, Gilbert, Richard and Edmund. Not much is known of Shakespeare education. It is generally assumed that the local grammar school, the King’s new school. At the age of 18, Shakespeare married 26 year old Anne Hathway With whom he had three children Susanna, Hamlet and Judith. Hamlet died at the age of 11 by which Shakespeare was already a successful playwright. Shakespeare’s Literary career started earning a living as an actor and a playwright in London. He became a leading member of the Lord Chamberlain’s men, and acting company in London. After the crowing of King James 1, in 1603. The company changed it is name to The King’s men. Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. Most of his play were written as ‘quarto texts’. An sheet of paper folded four ways. A few of his plays were printed in his lifetime. Though they appeared more voluminously after his death his first collection of work was printed in 1623.

                 Shakespeare retried to Stratford some years before his death after 1606-1607. Shakespeare wrote fewer plays and none are attributive probably with John Fletcher, who successes for the king’s men. Shakespeare died on the 23rd April, 1616.

• Ø  Suicide is important theme in Hamlet

               William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a tragedy, a revenge play. We know that prince Hamlet’s father has died and the queen Gertrude has married with Claudius, who is the brother of her husband. Gertrude has married Claudius after her husband died yet 2 month and she married. The ghost came and told reality to hamlet when he knowing the reason of his father’s death. He feels very guilty and he tried to committed suicide but however he could not committed suicide. other character the Ophelia, a daughter of Polonius and Sister of Laertes and Lover of Prince Hamlet. Ophelia's role is more important in Hamlet. because she follows all her Relation such as Lover, Daughter, Sister. When misfortune Hamlet killed her father she became mad and eventually she drown in river. when she's buried ceremony, the priest did not doing her death ceremony properly because they believe that she committed suicide the mourn of her father's death. and We can see that to two main soliloquies “O, that this is too too solid flesh” and “To be or not to be, that is question”.

       According to A. C. Bradley has pointed out, in his very first long speech of the play, ‘O, that this too too solid flesh”, Hamlet seems on the verge of total despaired, kept from suicide by the simple fact of spiritual awe. He is in the strange position of both wishing for death and fearing it intensely and this double pressure gives the play much of its drama. We can see that many scenes the aspects of death which hamlet find most fascinating its bodily facility. Hamlet major thinking about the human bodies. It is required, feelings, sexuality. We can see that the scene of graveyard, Hamlet’s handled Yorick’s skull, Its represent that the dead earth, a skull, reality have a connection to a person, a personality. Hamlet is unprecedented for the darken every scene of the play, Not that the play resolves anything or settles any of our species. Old doubt and anxieties. As with most things, we can expect to find very difficult and stimulating question in hamlet but very few satisfying answer.

• Ø ‘ O, that this too too solid flesh’ and ‘ to be or not to be’

                ‘O, that this too too solid flesh’ is first soliloquy in Hamlet. Hamlet speaks this soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 2. Because Hamlet doesn’t forget his father death and her mother marry to Claudius, who is the king of Denmark and he was also a brother of her dead husband. Hamlet wished that his body would just melt turn to water and became like the dew or that the almighty hadn’t made a law forbidden suicide. He say that It was terrible, The whole world was like an unwedded grand that had gone to seed only ugly disgusting thing thrived. He could not believe what happen. Only two month dead, no not even two hamlets compared his father such as a excellent king, Hyperion, the sun god and lecherous satyr. After Hamlet talk about his mother that she had loved him so much, adored him. And yet within a month, she married her husband’s brother and says that even an animal that doesn’t have reason would have mourned longer, she married his uncle at last he said that even before the salt of those hypocritical to incestuous sheets. It could not end happily but would just have to break his heart. Because he had to hold say that this soliloquy’s main center them is suicide.

              ‘To be or not to, that is the question’ is the famous soliloquy of Hamlet. Hamlet was confused that he has to do, what should he killed Claudius or not? Because now he is the husband of Gertrude and that relationship make as Hamlet’s father. The first six words of the soliloquy establish a balance. There is a direct opposition – to be, or not to be. Hamlet is thinking about life and death and pondering a state of being versus a state of not being – being alive and being dead. The balance continues with a consideration of the way one deals with life and death. Life is a lack of power: the living are at the mercy of the blows of outrageous fortune. The only action one can take against the things he lists among those blows is to end one’s life. That’s the only way of opposing them. Death is therefore empowering: killing oneself is a way of taking action, taking up arms, opposing and defeating the slings and arrows of outrageou fortune. Living is a passive state; dying is an active state. But in order to reach the condition of death one has to take action in life – charge fully armed against Fortune – so the whole proposition is circular and hopeless because one does not really have the power of action in life.

                    Death is something desirable – devoutly to be wished, a consummation – a perfect closure. It’s nothing more than a sleep. But there’s a catch, which Hamlet calls a rub. A ‘rub’ is a bowls term meaning an obstacle on the bowls lawn that diverts the bowl, so the fear of the life hereafter is the obstacle that makes us pause and perhaps change the direction of our thinking. We don’t control our dreams so what dreams may come in that sleep in which we have shuffled off all the fuss and bother of life? He uses the word ‘coil,’ which is an Elizabethan word for a big fuss, such as there may be in the preparations for a party or a wedding – a lot of things going on and a lot of rushing about. With that thought Hamlet stops to reconsider. What will happen when we have discarded all the hustle and bustle of life. The problem with the proposition is that life after death is unknown and could be worse than life. It’s a very frightening thought. That’s the obstacle on the lawn and it diverts his thoughts to another direction. And now Hamlet reflects on a final end. A ‘quietus’ islegal word meaning a final definitive end to an argument. He opposes this Latin word against the Celtic sweating and grunting of a living person as an Arab beneath an over whelmingly heavy load – a fardel, the load carried by a camel. Who would bear that when he could just draw a line under life with something as simple as a knitting needle.It’s quite a big thought and it’s fascinating that this enormous act drawing a line under life can be done with something as simple as a knitting needle. And how easy that seems.

                 Hamlet now lets his imagination wander on the subject of the voyages of discovery and the exploratory expeditions. Dying is like crossing the border between known and unknown geography. One is likely to be lost in that unmapped place, from which one would never return. The implication is that there may be unimagined horrors in that land. Hamlet now seems to make a decision. He makes the profound judgment that ‘conscience does make cowards of us all,’ This sentence is probably the most important one in the soliloquy. There is a religious dimension to it as it is a sin to take one’s life. So with that added dimension the fear of the unknown after death is intensified. But there is more to it than that. It is not just about killing himself but also about the mission he is on – to avenge his father’s death by killing his father’s murderer. Throughout the action of the play he makes excuses for not killing him and turns away when he has the chance. ‘Conscience does make cowards of us all.’ Convention demands that he kill Claudius but murder is a sin and that conflict is the core of the play.

           At the end of the soliloquy he pulls himself out of this reflective mode by deciding that too much thinking about it is the thing that will prevent the action he has to rise to. This is not entirely a moment of possible suicide. It’s not that he’s contemplating suicide as much as reflecting on life, and we find that theme all through the text. In this soliloquy life is burdensome and devoid of power. In another it’s ‘weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,’ like a garden overrun with weeds. In this soliloquy Hamlet gives a list of all the things that annoy him about life: 

‘The whips and scorns of time, the oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,

the pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, the insolence of office and the spurns’

         That patient merit of the unworthy takes. But there’s a sense of agonised frustration in this soliloquy that however bad life is we’re prevented from doing anything about it by fear of the unknown.

Thus, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Suicide is an important and continuous theme throughout the play, Hamlet’s is the main character who contemplated time throughout the play, since the murder of his father. Hamlet weight the advantages of leaving his miserable life with the living, for possibly a better but unknowing life with the dead. Hamlet seriously contemplates suicide against God.

EVALUATE MY ASSIGNMENT.

Robinson Crusoe By Danial Defoe

                         Daniel Defoe born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Defoe is noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson, and is among the founders of the English novel. He was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works books, pamphlets, and journals – on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.

                           The novel of Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, is an autobiography of an individual man who spends many years on an isolated island. Defoe reveals the idea of individualism through the life of his hero, Robinson.

                               After he is saved, he refuses to turn home. He has no longing for his Defoe’s novel celebrates the idea of individuality. This means that the character lives according to his own-way. He serves his own way. Thus, the novel focuses on the life of individual character. Robinson, the main character of this novel, seeks self-realization, so he yearns to go his own way through life. He acts independently and as he chooses, against the advice of others. This idea goes with the concepts of age of reason. Defoe’s novel is emotionless because it was written in the Age of Reason. Thus, it appeals to the reader’s mind and focuses on the importance of the individual. Defoe’s novel is mainly concerned with the idea of individuality which is shown through Crusoe’s life.

                                Robinson Crusoe deals with the life of an individual character who yarns to work his way up from the common middle position of life to a high one. Robinson decides his way through life according to his own thoughts and inclination. He is overambitious. He wants to get rich quicker. He is not satisfied with the quiet middle station of life. He seeks self-realization, so he refuses to lead a stable life or to remain inactive for any length of time, and as a result, he rejects his father’s advice to accept the middle position of life. His desire to go to the sea pushes him to leave home and go on voyages. He is seized by an overwhelming desire to travel abroad. He goes on a voyage bound for London against his father’s will. During the voyage, a storm overtakes the ship; he feels regretful and decides veer again to think of going on a voyage if God saves his life. mily. He proves to be hard-hearted and disobedient. He follows his own inclination and design. In spite of his former oath, he goes on a voyage bound to Africa as a trader. He succeeds in making some money and thereafter decides to become a merchant. He wants to create a life by his own way. He yarns to succeed as an individual. He does not want to depend on his father or inheritance. This time, his ship is attacked by pirates and he is held as a slave. He finds himself alone and miserable. He makes plan to set himself free. When his master asks him to take a boat into the sea to catch fish, he prepares to furnish himself, not for a fishing business but for a voyage. He takes the necessary equipment and food for a long voyage. This shows that he follows his individual thoughts.

                               After he succeeds to escape from slavery, he settles in Brazil. He becomes a planter. He starts a new life alone. He plants tobacco and other crops and gets prosperous. This shows that he is self-made man. This is related to the idea of individual economy.  Yet, he feels dissatisfied with this life. He feels that he gained nothing from all his adventures. He finds that he leads the same life which his father has recommended to him. He feels lonely because he has no relatives or friends in this place. This is not what he has looked forward to achieve. His pride makes him think that he deserves better life. The life of a planter is inferior to his abilities. He is not content with this life. He proves to be ungrateful to God’s blessings. He does not appreciate Gods’ favor after he is saved twice. He does not learn from the previous lessons. This shows his obstinacy. He decides that he must get rich quicker. To that end, he joins a voyage to buy slaves. This reckless abandonment of a settled life for an illicit venture at last provokes God’s anger. His ship is wrecked and he finds himself marooned on an isolated island. He is the only survivor. Yet, he does not actually give way to despair. He does not keep lamenting his fate. He takes action. He adapts himself to these circumstances. He starts to discover the place whether it is inhabited or not. He organizes his life on this island

• Write about colonial discourse in Robinson Crusoe 

                        Robinson’s interactions with one character in particular, however, provide a great deal of insight into the colonial process. Robinson Crusoe’s relationship with his servant Friday serves as an allegory for British imperialists disrupting other cultures and civilizing them.This relationship between the colonizer and the colonized is illustrated when Robinson Crusoe first saves Friday from being killed. In the text, Friday “laid his Head upon the Ground, and taking me by the foot, set my Foot upon his head” (Defoe 147). This serves as a fitting illustration of the situation. Here, the white man keeps the minority group down, quite literally. Robinson, the colonizer, is clearly in charge.

                     It is hugely important that Robinson Crusoe chooses to name his servant “Friday.” Robinson ostensibly names him for “the Day I sav’d his Life” (Defoe 149). Interestingly, he chooses a name from Western culture. People indigenous to the island do not plan their lives according to the same seven-day week schedule used in England. So, even the assigned name reflects Robinson’s eagerness to rub English habits and norms off on his servant. In a sense, Robinson has created a new identity for the servant. After being labeled, Friday must live life answering to a name that has roots in English-speaking culture. It is noteworthy that Friday is named for a thing rather than an actual person. This further contributes to the overall dehumanization of the servant. Brett McInelly comments on this in the article “Expanding Empires, Expanding Selves: Colonialism, the Novel, and Robinson Crusoe,” stating that “Crusoe’s tendency to imagine and create through language his own reality reveals something of the nature of colonialism in general, namely, that it involves an assembly of images and cultural constructs, as well as material practices and circumstances”

                                     A scene follows in which Robinson tries to rid Friday of his cannibalistic tendencies. Friday wants to dig up corpses and eat them, and Robinson “appear’d very angry, express’d my Abhorrence of it, made as if I would vomit at the Thought of it” (Defoe 149). Robinson’s fixed mindset regarding the customs of others is a classic example of colonial ethnocentrism. Rather than gradually weaning Friday of his lifelong habits, Robinson is extremely quick to change his servant’s cultural values. The strong words in this passage such as “Abhorrence” and “vomit” definitely display his immense hatred for the customs of the indigenous people (Defoe 149). The force at work here is peer pressure. The colonizer is discouraging Friday by making him feel self-conscious. This passage also demonstrates just how thorough and all-encompassing colonial rule can be. Even the diet of the colonized comes under scrutiny.

                              Soon after, Robinson Crusoe dresses Friday in new clothes. Robinson makes these clothes, fancying himself “a tolerable good Taylor” (Defoe 150). Robinson notes that Friday “was mighty well pleas’d to see himself almost as well cloath’d as his Master” (Defoe 150). To Friday, the clothes are “very awkward” and “they hurt him” at first, but soon “he took to them very well” (Defoe 150). This event serves as another example of Robinson stripping Friday of his individuality and his identity. It is an important component of expansion and colonialism that the native should be grateful for what they do. Of course Robinson would tell himself that Friday is happy to look this way. To Robinson, people should feel grateful to look like the typical idea of civilized, English people. It is important to note that Friday’s transition to comfort in western styles of clothing is painful at first. We never get to hear things from Friday’s perspective, but the implication is that the transition to western clothing is painful in a physical and an emotional way, since the awkwardness and pain is obvious to Robinson. This shows that Robinson perceives Friday’s pain, but has no regrets about causing it. The colonization techniques employed in Robinson Crusoe are borderline sociopathic.

                                Robinson flatters himself as the noble white person imparting favors on the savage people. For example, Robinson states that Friday’s “Affections were ty’d to me, like those of a Child to a Father”. Robinson is unable (or perhaps unwilling) to see this relationship for what it really is—a stifling relationship between a slave and a master. As McInelly points out in his article, “Crusoe’s tendency to imagine himself in grandiose terms replicates something of what was occurring in the culture at large in the early eighteenth century”

                         During Robinson’s discussion of his attempts to convert Friday to Christianity, his language is incredibly hateful. Robinson compares the natives of the area to “the most blinded ignorant Pagans in the World” and states that their religion is a “Fraud” (Defoe 157). The narrow-minded Robinson states that his religion consists of “Knowledge of the true God” (Defoe 156). The brand of colonialism at work is the product of a fixed mindset. Robinson has no desire to understand Friday and to appreciate his beliefs fully. Robinson’s colonialism is racist and stubborn, not gradual and welcoming. Not only is his word choice hateful, it is also condescending. During this scene, Robinson frequently refers to Friday as a “poor Savage” and a “poor ignorant Creature,” thereby contributing further to the constant dehumanization of Friday (Defoe 158). Robinson views Friday as less of a person because he does not fit into this idealized civil paradigm.

                   From Robinson’s harsh language to the thorough changes in Friday’s life, these characters and these scenarios serve as an allegory of the colonial process. Robinson represents the discriminatory colonist, and Friday represents enslaved natives without identity. These interactions show that the colonialist process is psychologically brutal and relentless.

How colonialism works in our life ?


According to Wikipedia that

                                    " Colonialism is a relationship between an indigenous (or forcibly imported) majority and a minority of foreign invaders. The fundamental decisions affecting the lives of the colonized people are made and implemented by the colonial rulers in pursuit of interests that are often defined in a distant metropolis. Rejecting cultural compromises with the colonized population, the colonizers are convinced of their own superiority and their ordained mandate to rule."

                                   We can see the Colonialism in Our Film and the Movie, Drama, Play have a mirror of our Sociaty and our cultural. Movie and Film always refelax the Human Bring, them culture, them Society. I would Like to give some example of the film Which are describing the Colonialism in Society, its effect of human nature.

Write about some changes done in the movie....

                                When we see the Movie. The theme of the film like as Robinson Crusoe flees Britain on a ship after killing his friend over the love of Mary. A fierce ocean storm wrecks his ship and leaves him stranded by himself on an uncharted island. Left to fend for himself, Crusoe seeks out a tentative survival on the island, until he meets Friday, a tribesman whom he saves from being sacrificed. Initially, Crusoe is thrilled to finally have a friend, but he has to defend himself against the tribe who uses the island to sacrifice tribesman to their gods. During time their relationship changes from master-slave to a mutual respected friendship despite their difference in culture and religion.

                                Although this is far from a faithful adaption of Daniel Defoe's classic novel from the 18th century, this version of Robinson Crusoe holds up fairly well and captures what that polemic writer was trying to say about cultures and how they clash. A number of assumptions about what his character Crusoe had about the superiority of his civilization are shattered.Two men from totally different worlds manage to communicate and establish a friendship. To be sure it is one of necessity as Crusoe is cut off from his world and Friday, the cannibal he befriends is exiled from his tribe. Still they do get along until civilization intrudes.

                                   Pierce Brosnan is in the title role and aborigine actor William Takaku plays Friday. Defoe himself is written into the film as he is given a purported journal written by Crusoe and as he reads it Brosnan narrates the story. Defoe is played by Ian Hart and Defoe as political polemicist as well as novelist had some advanced views considering the time he lived in.

Character of the Arjuna

Question : Write a Critical Analysis the Character Of the Arjuna in "The Purpose".

 

                                             T.P.Kailasam is remembered as the father of modern Kannada drama, the man of genius whose plays revolutionized the Kannada stage. He gave refreshing realism and modernity and freed it once for all from the literary unrealistic that possessed it. Kailasam focused tradition on contemporary social problems, a deeply compassionate vision of the human struggle, an almost Shakespearean power to evoke sympathetic laughter and an amazing grasp of the living language of men, combined with the gift of using it artistically for dramatic purpose.

 

                                               ‘The Purpose’ is a mythical play that deals with past and its show us many things like culture, religion and the ancient time of India. ‘Mythical story is always a fable of people’ it’s like a tell, that spreading our culture and its value. By the time of king’s rule we can say that some people are creates a kind of view towards it. Essentially the purpose of this thesis has been to propose an assessment or interpretation of T.P. Kailasam's "private mythology", of its genesis, its justification and its value. This mythology was, of course, largely influenced by the circumstances of his time.

                                                There have many characters in the Great Epic Mahabharata. The Purpose is a part of the Mahabharata. Kailasam makes some changes in character and dialogues like the Arjuna has Silent Character in the Mahabharata and here Kailasam describe him as a Talkative, Jealous person, Arrogant person etc and also Kailasam was doing some changes in the play.

                             Today My Topic is the Character of the Arjuna in the Purpose Let's Start....

•  Introduction 

                                     Arjuna is a character of Mahabharata, a son of king Pandu, and he is a brother of Dharmraj Yudhishthira, Bhima, Sahdeva, and Nakula, he is one of the five Pandawas. T.P. Kailasam has written this play “The Purpose” is a part of Mahabharata. Mahabharata is an Indian epic with the story of a family of Kaurawas and Pandawas, with the themes of love, war, intrigues, relationships, family, good v/s evil and struggle of an Avatar of God with his own relatives.

                           T.P.kailasam’s The Purpose has presented the childhood of Pandawas with their nature and the time of Satyug, that how intrigues were taking place in that time. Guru Drona did not teach archery to Eklavya just because Arjun wanted to be a great Archer. Arjun has all the abilities and lack of confidence, but his position has played a vital role of gaining good atmosphere for learning and a great teacher to teach.

•  Sense Of Pupil:

                                             Arjuna is a great example of Pupil. Because he always follows the Guru's order. and always follow the guru's law anyway like when the Arjuna confuse in his knowledge and his archery. He asked him anytime  a question and always he doing work before the guru tells him. He want to became a Greatest Archer of the world. He take a promise to his guru dronacharya that he would become a great archer of the World.  When the Ekalavya also want to become a Great archer. and both have different purpose to become a archer. One who is want to protect his area of his jungle this is reason to make him to learn this Archery for save to another life. And the Arjuna want to learn this Archery for protect his Kingdom in war from is enemy.

                                        I have some confusion that when both of them has good aims for lifekind. Then why the Drona has not accepted Eklavya as a Disciple. Because he promised to Arjuna that he become a Greatest archer of the World.But After understanding the Character of Dronacharya. I realize that Teacher has always good thoughts about his Disciples. I am agree with that because when the Drona Brings Eklavya's Left hand thumb as GURUDAKSHINA. He also feel Guiltyand he always Crying heartily, he also didn't want to bring  his Thumb. But reason is dronacharya promised Arjuna to make him a great Archer. And I want to tell you that why the Arjuna take promise from Drona?, Because Arjuna was his favorite student. But this promise was beg by Arjuna ! why ? If it is a dream of Arjuna, Why he beg Promise from Drona.? we can see this Dialogue..

 

Arjuna:	Now that I  p o s s e s s  all the elements necessary, you will make me the greatest archer in all the world, will you not, Gurujee?
Drona:	(Smiling) I will, Paartha!
Arjuna:	Is that a promise, Gurujee?
Drona:	Why, of course it is!!
Arjuna:	(Clapping his hands) That is splendid! I must run away and tell the good news to everybody!.

 

• Arrogance Character Of the Arjuna :
  

 

 

                                                   T.P.Kailasam wrote this Character as a Pride, Arrogance, Self-respecting in the Purpose. We know the Arjuna in Mahabharata.The character of Arjuna was one of the five pandavas of the Mahabharata epic. Arjuna’s mother was Kunti and his father was Pandu. He is a prince of hastinapura, and he has four brothers Yudhishthir, Bheem , Nakul and Sahdev. In Mahabharata Arjuna was like this: He was known for his steadfastness and single mindedness in pursuing his goals. He was instrumental in winning Draupadi in a contest for himself and his brothers as their joint wife. He also married shubhadra the sister of Krishna and balram and kept his friendship with them for ever. Lord Krishna became his mentor and guide for the rest of his life.

                                         Arjuna is the Arrogant nature person. Because the Arjuna belong to the Kshatriya. He feels proud that he belong to the Arya's clane.In the Mahabharata, the terms Arya or Anaryas are often applied to people according to their behaviour. Dushasana, who tried to disrobe Draupadi in the Kaurava court, is called an "Anarya". Vidura, the son of a Dasi born from Vyasa, was the only person in the assembly whose behaviour is called "Arya", because he was the only one who openly protested when Draupadi was being disrobed by Dushasana. The Pandavas called themselves "Arya" in the Mahabharata when they killed Drona through deception. According to the Mahabharata, a person's behaviour (not wealth or learning) determines if he can be called an Arya.

                                            If we see the Purpose, Arjuna was really Arrogance person because when the Eklavya wants to learn archery from Dronachara, then Arjuna reminds drona that he have to teach if the Pupil belong to Dynast. and when the Eklavya told him that he belong to Nishaada, arjuna laugh his clane. We can see this Dialogue..

Arjuna:	(Curtly to Ekalavya) Who are you? And what do you want here?
Ekalavya:	I am a nishaada. I came here to beg of your Guru to help me become the greatest archer in the world.
Arjuna:	(Laughs outright; Derisively) "Become the greatest archer in the World", indeed! How can you even for a moment think it possible for a NISHAADA to become what is almost impossible even for an ARYA?!
Ekalavya:	(Unperturbed by Arjuna's Laughter) What does it matter if I am a nishaada? How does it help you in your archery that you are an Arya? If you will only give up this silly laugh of yours

                                         Thus, we are taking about these two characters we have to compare and differentiate these two characters of this play. So, first of all let’s talk about comparison of these two characters. The similarity between both the characters is that both want to become the world’s best archer. Though the aim is same, the purpose for it is different. Arjuna has the personal purpose and Ekalavya’s purpose is to save the animals. So, we can say here that this all the things are about “The Purpose”  based on the that how the purpose is differs from each other. So, here we can say that the title of this play is appropriate and well chosen by the playwright of this play.

                                       we can say that here in this play Kailasam tried to give changes in character of Arjuna. he makes him arrogant jealous and reactive to his guru. In the Mahabharata we see the Arjuna as very patient and humble.  This is the typical style of T.P. Kailasam that he breaks the myths of Mahabharata in his all plays or in his all works. For his art of writing he has said that,

 “ The greatness of art is in Proportion to the greatness, of the characters of the characters that the artist creates. ”
