Freudian in K. Chinnappa Bharathi's Novel Pavalaayi

Abstract

The study of literature is not only to understand and enjoy it, but also to analyze it in various ways. As a result, the progress made in the field of knowledge and the ways of researching literature are now widely spread. They are effectively doing the job of broadening the view of literature in the public sphere and bringing up its demand to various platforms. In such methods of study, psychology takes an essential place. Sigmund Freud, who was born in the Czech Republic in 1856 and is known as the father of psychiatry and a writer, is considered to be the originator of Freudian. He researched until the year 1939 (83 years) when he died and said that like the hardware and software that operate the computer; the human body as hardware and the mind as software are the driving force of the human being and that there are various layers in that mind and the problems and variations caused by it. He made the world scientifically aware of such things. After his death his theories and hypothesis are called 'Freudianism'. Freudianism and the developments that have followed in it have taken on a great deal of scope. The article examines 'K. Chinnappa Bharathi’s novel Pavalaayi with Freud's ideas about literature and literary men. The purpose of this article is to examine the story lines of the novel 'Pavalaayi' through Freudian ideas, as a novel tends to reveal the plot through the narrators.
