Author(s) P.Suneetha Naidu, M.Praveena
Country India
Abstract Nissim Ezekiel is a poet of post-independent era. He occupies a substantial place in Indian Literature. Ezekiel always refers to Indian cultural beliefs and superstitions in his poetry. Through his poetry he throws light upon the popular beliefs revolving around common people of India. The concepts include ‘Karma’, which is about the deeds and results of previous life and after life. He not only represents Indian culture, but also comments and satirizes on the positive aspects of Indian culture and its distinct features. The poem, “The Night of the Scorpion” was the poem written by Nissim Ezekiel. It was first published in Nissim Ezekiel’s anthology entitled ‘The Exact
Name (1965). This is a poem situated in an Indian rural background that focuses on the Indian agricultural family beliefs. Before independence, the rural Indian culture was an obvious contrast to the emerging urban culture. Ezekiel as a modern Indian poet thoroughly used the modern Indian themes and styles in his poetry. His usage of poetic techniques and diction are fairly simple and easy for the readers. The chief objective of the present paper is to focus on Nissim Ezekiel’s representation of Indian culture and beliefs in the poem ‘The Night of The Scorpion’.
