Indian mythology is a sea of complex characters and their deeds. One of such pearl is the story of King Yayati who on one hand is a great and brave monarch but one the other a man falling again and again for his own lust.
King Yayati is the ancestor of Pandavas and Kaurwas of Mahabharta. He was a great king with all the strength and power, but as the rule of the nature, he also had a weakness. It was this weakness of his which leads him a commit a betrayal with his wife and asked for a sacrifice from one of his son.
This paper throws light on the character analysis of the three main protagonist of the story. Yayati, who fell for his unfulfilled lust despite of his achievements and moreover he asked his sons to make sacrifice for him. Puru, Yayati’s son who sacrificed for his father’s desires to gain recognition in his eyes, overlooking the silent pleas of his wife which ultimately led her to commit suicide, and lastly, Shukracharya, who was the father of Devyani who is Yayati’s wife. Shukracharya is already a well known name in mythology for his anger and rage. In this story yet again we find two victims of his rage as the first one is Sharmistha who is cursed to be a maid despite of being a princess and the other one is Yayati the husband of his daughter.
