| 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.
