A study on destiny of Kovalan the main character in Silappathikaaram epic
description <p>The objective of this study is to identify vices and virtues of Kovalan in the Tamil epic</p><p>Silappathikaaram, to analyse those attributes with reference to Thiruvalluvar's Oozh</p><p>(loosely translated as destiny) theory and to further expound on the lesson learned</p><p>through Kovalans destiny. The main aim of this study is to convey the outcome of an</p><p>intense Oozh. Qualitative data analysis methods have been used in this research</p><p>whereby all the three objectives of this study have been reached effectively through</p><p>library and text analysis methods. In the theory part, the whole of Silappathikaaram</p><p>epic has been thoroughly studied and understood. Kovalan's vices and virtues were</p><p>identified by scrutinizing his lifestyles, his journey, incidences that influence his next</p><p>course of action and its impact on the society has been analyzed in accordance with</p><p>Thiruvalluvar's Oozh theory. Four vices and four virtues that shape Kovalans destiny</p><p>in Silappathikaaram were explored. The effects of predestination were analyzed</p><p>according to the four evils and virtues as propounded by Thiruvalluvar in his</p><p>couplets. As for the findings, nine lessons learned from Kovalans destiny were</p><p>explained through critical observation of all the incidents that shaped his life. It clearly</p><p>reveals that Kovalans four vices and four virtues had dictated his destiny and</p><p>corroborates the fact that human race are destined to experience the consequences of</p><p>their own act. The implication of this study is, it proves one cant refute the law of</p><p>nature. Our own actions produce results according to the pattern of those actions. The</p><p>research is significant in a sense that Kovalans life story is relevant even today and can</p><p>be used as a guiding principle in our daily conduct. In conclusion, understanding</p><p>Thiruvalluvars Oozh theory with reference to Silappathikaaram helps one to</p><p>understand the implication of ones vices and virtues. Enhancing oneself and family</p><p>with knowledge and conduct based on virtues will benefit the society on the whole.</p>
