Rasa is the emotional element in the theme or plot which falls into an organised pattern. Rasa emotionally connects the observer to a work of art. The more emotional connection of the reader to a work of art, the better the production of rasa. Rasa is an experience first felt by the creator of the art, and secondly the experience of the reader who receives the art. The creator seeks a medium to express his feelings. The reader or observer then obtains the same emotion through the medium that the creator selected and hence experiences the emotion felt by the creator. Thus, the feeling of ‘rasa’ which is created by the creator is then re-created by the reader. The extent the reader experiences the emotion which was earlier felt by the creator depends on the aesthetic sense the reader possesses and the intelligence of the creator in producing it. Rasa has been a prolific theory contributed by Bharata Muni in the field of Indian Aesthetics. The paper analyses the dominance of Sringara and Karuna rasas in The Secret of the Nagas. |
