Abstract

In poetic creations, the emotions of the creator and the emotions of the characters featured in that creation are of primary importance. The emotion that the artist expresses - either through himself or through the characters — in the mode of conveying the poem, is what carries that poem to its audience. Therefore, it is said that the emotional expression found in a poem serves as the very life force of that poem. This article examines and explains the emotion of weeping expressed by artist Mu. Karunanidhi in his poems.
