Who is representing whom, from what position, for what purpose and at which juncture- all these questions and many more determine, influence and problematic representation. The paper attempts to analyze representation of women in Karnad's monologue Flowers. Multiple questions arise when the priest represents his wife and the courtesan he visits for sexual pleasure named Ranganayaki. Why the priest never mentions the name of his wife? Is she a silent victim? Does she protest? What is her attitude towards sexuality and nakedness? Is it in contrast to Ranganayaki's attitude towards the same? Is she more liberated than the priest's wife? It is true that true evaluation of the play can only be done if in future the play is performed on stage nevertheless this paper tries to assess the representation of women(women's body, mind and soul) in the play. | | Keywords : | | |
