The Chuvannathadi in Kathakali An Evaluation of the Character Type Vesham

Abstract

The paper brings out the importance of the chuvannathadi in Kathakali, a character type which for many years earlier did not receive the importance it inherently possesses. It analyses the costume and the characters from the MahaBharatham and the Ramayanam who are linked to a chuvannathadi and then goes on to analyse how GuruNanu Nair who rightfully considered as the master of this role in modern times, gave the chuvannathadi the importance it deserved. The paper also looks at the concept of cognitive contradiction a term I have coined and makes references to Shakespeare’s Shylock from the play The Merchant of Venice. It goes on to discuss the when discussing the concept of the anti hero, a role in which Guru Nanu Nair specialized.
