Since time unknown ‘animal’ characters have caught the imagination of creative writers. Be it oral epics, fables or the modern fictional narratives in recent times. Martel, our contemporary, surprisingly comes up with ‘animal’ characters in all his works. Our preoccupation with the things around us (WIGO) keeps our abstraction process mostly at verbal levels; GS tries to make us aware of silent levels. Experiencing of these silent levels could be done through keeping one’s senses open for events to happen but labeling of these events should be delayed as far as possible, because language is not well equipped to convey all. Animals abstract at lower level and thus are at these levels. This paper will also attempt to study how Martel incorporates extended scenes on how human could become aware of sensual levels.

K. Narayan and Mulk Raj Anand. Rao‟s oeuvre was distinct from his contemporaries because he attempted incorporate Indian metaphysics and philosophy into his fictional work. Raja Rao‟s second magnum opus The Serpent and Rope, the Sahitya Akadamy Award winning novel, appeared in 1960. It is very complex and may-sided novel. The narrative closely mirrors Rao‟s own life. It has an autobiographic quality, the protagonist Ramaswamy, a young Hindu Brahmin narrates his own tragic triangle love story. The novel is too philosophic that it has become complex. There are lines very difficult to get meaning out of it at first reading. For instance two very important phrases: “Waves are nothing but water. So is the see” and “Meaning is meaningful to meaning” these prove how brilliantly and intellectually Rao has chosen his diction. The quest for the ultimate reality is a metaphysical quest, and it forms the heart of the novel. Rama constantly reasons about such metaphysical verities as illusion and reality. He exposes the significance of the journey towards self-realization. Thus, the world is the illusion and the self is the truth. Once the truth is known then sorrows and miseries do not affect the man. Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://10.9.150.37:8080/dspace//handle/atmiyauni/2242 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
