Paper Title: Mythological Retellings in Modern Literature: Analyzing Amish Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy
Author:
Abstract:
The following are some of the reasons why relating of ancient myths are important in modern literature. The best example referred in the above said statement is the Shiva Trilogy written by the Indian English novelist Amish Tripathi, but it is not the only one. This Tripathi’s narrative offers a new reading of Shiva character: a sadly human protagonist who dies and struggles to attain being; his story is relevant to the contemporary humanist and manager. Hence, placed in identifiable historical settings, not only does Tripathi reproduce mythological themes, but also discusses current trends in society. The process with which the subject matter reviews the work analyses the symbology with which the subject literature is infused by Tripathi in which the series also enables how this concocts a mythology to a generic public and grows the ideology for the next generation.
Keywords:Indian mythology, storytelling, Shiva Trilogy, Writing of the author Amish, New age mythology.
