A Study of Erode Tamilanpan’s ‘Vanakkam Valluva Nool’

Abstract

In Erode Tamilanban’s ‘Vanakkam Valluva’ poetry, the symbolism of poetic virtues can be found in the poem ‘Agamum Puramum: Andrum Indrum’ (Inside and Out, then and now), the analogy can be seen in the poem ‘Appothu Ketpen’ (I will ask then), and in the poem, ‘Vina-Vidai’ (Quiz style) can also be found in the poem ‘Ettaavathu Seer’ (Eighth Syllable). This article explores the trend of modernizing antiquity in ‘Novelty’, the title ‘ God whos has become a Prisoner’ even though God is released from the temple people still hold him captive, on the topic ‘The need for love’ that love is necessary to overcome caste and religion differences and promote equality, the impact of family relationships in the ‘Memory of the Mother’, Life is to give in ‘Life is for giving’, the social disorder that is caused by drugs titled as 'Social Disgrace' in a satirical sense, and the Questions asked by prostitutes to Valluvar to ensure equality between men and women in ‘Unrestrained Women’.
