Readers,
My review of the play " fire and the rain".The "Fire and the rain" play written by Girish karnad. The main Titel of the play is "Agni mattu male" in Kannad language. it was published in 1998. Girish Karnad is an actor, director, writer and playwright.
In this play " The fire and the rain" we find some major characters as like, Bharadwaja, Raibhya, Yavakari, Aravasu, Paravasu, Vishakha, Nittilai, her brother, Brahma Rakshasa(Demon)King and actor manager. we find many theme in this play like, Alienation, Love, family heated, Religion and art, Yagña and theater etc.
There were two sages, Bharadawaja and Raibhya, who were good friends Raibhya was a learned man. who lived with his two sons Aravasu ans Paravasu while Bhardawaja concentrated on his ascetic practices. Yavakari, Bhardawaja's son, nursed a grievance against the world for he felt his father did not receive the respect and recognition which was his due.
Yavakari went to the forest and did "tapasya" (Meditation) so that he could obtain the knowledge of the Vedas form the god directly. The rigours of his ascetic practice were such that Inadra, the Lord of God's, appeared to him, but only to persuade him that there were no such short cuts of knowledge. "Knowledge has to be obtained by studying at the feet of a guru". But Yavakari was so adamant that Indara ultimately relented and let him have his wishes.
Bharadwaja, being a wise man he has worry and his fears unfortunately proved well founded. For one of the first things Yavakari did was to corner Raibhya's daughter in law in a lonly spot and molest her.Raibhya knew about misbehaviour of Yavakari with vishakha. He tore a hair from his head and made a Rakshasa ( demon) then he sent the Rakshasa to kill yavakati. when Bharadwaja lernat about it that how his son has died. he cursed Raibhya that "he would die at the hand of his elder son" and Bhardwaja entred fire and immortal itself. and that happened Paravasu Killed his father by mistake and he realized that happen then he said to Aravasu he has to do father's cremated and I have to went on fire sacrifices so, Paravasu went at fire sacrifices and Aravasu and Vishakha was on his Father's dead body.
Then Aravasu came to fire sacrifices so paravasu said that "This is a Brahmin killer, he shouldn't be allowed to enter sacrifices enclosure" to king. So King gave order to his servant to throw Aravasu out.
at the end of drama aravasu wear mask of Varitra and he become cruel. Because varitara get control on Aravasu. and this real story of "The Mahabharata " and real event of fire and the rain combined . when Aravasu tried to murder Paravasu that time Nittilai throw the mask of varitra on the aravasu face. and he fails to do this. Nittilai's brother and husband come and murder to nittilai. The true love of Aravasu died at the time he decided to murder him. But a real character of God Indara come and told to Aravasu gets blessed. Aravasu struggles into decision that release Brahma Rakshasa or return to Nittilai. At that time Aravasu told to Brahma releasing of Brahma Rakshasa. He become a wisher man of the drama . Girish karnad describe that importance of heart, soul, thought of the character. Blossoming the fragrance of the Rain in the Air, Everyone dances with joy.
If we read this play with feminist perspective , so we find that two women characters Vishkha and Nittilai suffered a lot in their life. Nittilai murdered by her husband and brother because she fall in love with Aravasu. while Vishkha fall in love with Yavakari. and hit by her father in law( Raibhya).
