Psychological Study of Shah Latif’s Characters
Abstract
Founder of Modern Psychology, Sigmund Freud paved
the way to criticise the theories in literature. He put forth his
theories and different characters of William Shakespeare, as the
object of the psychological analysis of creativity and its trends in
literature.
This criticism helps the critics to peep into the personality
of the creator.
A poet or an author expresses himself/herself through the
tongue of his/her characters in the poem or prose novel, drama
etc.
Shah Latif has used the characters that had existed on
earth in different ages, through the use of his powerful imagination.
The basic characters of Shah help in reflecting the personality of Shah.
Shah’s basic important characters are: 1. Marui, 2.
Umar, 3. Sassui, 4. Punhoon, 5. Sohini, 6. Moomal, 7. Rano, 8.
Leela, 9. Rai Diyach, 10. Beejal, 11. Noori, 12. Jam Tamachi.
Marui : She was a simple and a common woman but her
abduction by Umar gave her immortality when she condemned all
comforts and compulsions and tyranny put upon her. Thus the
rare example explored the below mentioned qualities of Marui:
1.Patriotism, 2. Self Egoism, 3. To discard individual
pleasure and comfort for her own village, 4. Not to surrender before tyranny, 5. To keep her honour and prestige
high.
