GENESIS OF THEATRE IN INDIA AND EARLY GENDER REPRESENTATION

Sonia Hooda, Dr. J.K Sharma

Page No. : 173-183

ABSTRACT

Dramatic women play gender-normative roles. They were divided into "good" wives, mothers, and "evil" mistresses and sorceresses. Bhas’s woman characters meet society’s expectations. Marriage was crucial. Vikramorvasiya, Malavikagnimitra, and Abhijnanasakuntalam, four-century dramas by Kalidasa, feature powerful women. Kalidasa saw men and women as equals with honour and respect. Shakuntala was quite unique. Visakhdutta’s historical play Mudra-Rakshasa features no female characters. Bhavabhuti depicted women’s deterioration in the seventh century. Women were mostly confined in love and family dramas. At the time, women were barred from the theatre, therefore young boys played feminine parts.
