Abstract

Girish Karnard’s Hayavadana is a well known and excellent literary piece of work that reflects the crisis of identity and imperfection. The human beings strive to obtain perfection in all the aspects throughout their life. But they forget the fact that perfection is something that is unachievable. The present chapter is focusing on the acute crisis of identity and imperfection. It also reflects the strength of psychology over the physical one. Karnard portrays a genuine picture of his characters, fighting to their inner self to manage an identity and to reach to the zenith of perfection that is next to impossible.
