Nostalgia or Self-Escape? Psychological Interpretation of 'Saye ki Awaz'
Keywords

Abstract

The history of psychology is the history of man itself or we can say that psychology took birth with the birth of human being therefore, we witness its role in everything related to man. Its best example is literature that is directly related to human life that is why along with other factors psychology makes an integral part of its composition. But the study of psychology does not start after the creation of a master piece rather it takes place before it. Many topics are found scattered around a man of letters. However while creating a master piece he incorporates some factors and simply ignores the others. Thus a personal psychology of a writer becomes basis of the writing in which psychological factors can be sorted out by using the theories of psychologists. The novel “Saye ki Awaz" by the famous contemporary fiction writer Ikramullah is the same type of novel. It is a story of an old man who has developed an imaginary world that is filled with past memories on one hand and a conscious effort of self-escape on the other hand. Both of these are personality disorders. What is the reality out of these that is the question. This article deals with the psychological interpretation of “Saye ki Awaz" to get the answer of the question.
