Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This research aims to identify meyppattiyal (emotions), explain inner causes (various emotions)   that   trigger   meyppattiyal,   analyse   thunaimai   meyppattiyal   (additional  emotions) and explain messages conveyed by Sujatha in his novels by incorporating meyppattiyal.     This  study  analyses  five  of  Sujatha’s  novels  consisting  Vasanth! Vasanth!,  Miindum  Oru   Kuttram,  Priya,   Aayarathil  Iruvar  and  Pesum  Bommaikal This is a qualitative research that  combines library research and text analysis methods. Analysis and discussions are based on  meyppattiyal theory prompted by Tolkappiyar which   includes   envakai   meyppattiyal   (eight-fold    emotions)   consisting   of   nakai (laughter),  alukai  (weeping),  ilivaral  (contempt),   marutkai  (awe),  accam  (fear), perumitam (pride), vekuli (anger) and uvakai (joy) depicted in  Sujatha’s novels. Each of  the meyppattiyal is triggered by four inner causes and which therefore  produce other 32 other causes. Besides 32 main meyppattiyal, there are also another 32 additional  meyppattiyal. This research was done based on 64 meyppattiyal. The findings show that author had  successfully invoked 27 out of the 32 main meyppattiyal and 25 of the 32 additional  meyppattiyal   in  five  novels.  13  values  are also  implicitly incorporated  in these novels. In conclusion,  this study reveals characters and settings in Sujatha's novels are closely related to meyppattiyal  as mentioned in Tolkappiyam. The implication is, this study encourages individuals to manage their  emotions effectively and assimilate positive feelings towards a harmonious society.
