Abstract

Madhavkkutty was a Malayalam story writer who had caused to extended and expand the frontiers of vision of the readers through diverse experiences. She searched for only those things which made life worth living. Her creations were the reflections of such inquiry. The motivating force which led her life forward was love. The writings of Madhavkkutty were bound by love to an extent that such a condition was revealed. Several writers have presented death in poetry romantically, symbolically, and mystically. But, only very few writers have portrayed death invoking it as a character and developing it properly. Madhavkkutty a is one such writer. In her stories, Madhavkkutty portrayed Death concerning the sensual experiences of colour, smell, and sound (N.B-Kamala Das was known in the Malayalam Literary world as Madhavikutty, so in this Essay, I used her name Madhavkkutty)
