Abstract

This study focuses on the tragic sense of disintegration and alienation, which has covered the whole atmosphere of the royal domain with suspicion and uncertainty. It tries to display the mode and mood of sense of displacement, which keep all the characters apart from one another. All the leading characters may seem to be well associated but indeed, there is an ocean of stormy gap among them. The study tries to display the drowning characters moving towards the famished vortex of disintegration and non-existence by creating a fake world of utopia. Eventually, the study makes an attempt to bring to light the cost of betraying or losing one’s beliefs, as well as the trust of the ones who are near and dear to us.
