Document Summary
Hayavadana offers no resistance when they try to remove his mask, or actual head. Interruptions are important- hayavadana interrupts bhagavata when he says the head must be his fate. The relationship between his parents- he is born of an anguished world. He is interested in how society is run. Hayavadana is interested in the fate of the nation. A state of perpetual becoming, a movement towards the state of completion. The man peeing on the highway- hayavadana says it is wrong. Hayavadana believes everything should be right and proper. The child is a product of anguish just like hayavadana. He is trying to ruin his voice, people think he is patriotic. The different levels of irony in the play. Situational irony when he goes to the goddess- we laugh. At first he wants to be human, and then he becomes a horse and becomes more distanced from society. The state of the national politics at the time.
