Abstract

Naagamandala is the play which spins around the character ‘Rani’. She is an innocent girl who was a loving child of her parents. She was loved and adored by her parents very much. Now in her husband’s place she feels frightened to be alone during night hours because she is let alone locked. She is forced to face loneliness, and in her loneliness, she develops the habit of imagining thing and talking all by herself. Finally, she began to dream as she wishes things to happen and thus, she ends up in hallucinating, which gave pleasure to her and thus she became a personality. She, in her imagination, imagines things which she longs for to happen and see. Actually, she is a person who in her childhood was much happy with her loving parents but now she is very sad because of their parent’s negligence but still as at traditional wife follows her husband’s instruction dutifully.
