Abstract
As every book is incomplete without tragedy ‘ Mritunjaya; the conqueror of death’ and ‘Karna: The great warrior’ are no exceptions to that law. “Karna, your life was in tatters. Go, tell them it wasn’t tattered or torn, it was a rich gold bordered royal silk. Only- only it ripped into thousand shreds in the entanglements of circumstances. Whoever came across these sherds, made whatever use of them they wanted. Why then are you so enamoured of your royal garments?” [Sawant,1] The theme of marginality and identity crisis are prominent in both the books which play any significant role in Karna’s tragedy. The third essay of Frye talks about tragedy and explains it in the phases. This paper will talk how the themes contribute to the phases.
