THE SPEAKING TREEDifferent Perspective Of Human SufferingBy DHARANIDHAR SAHUJean-Paul Sartre said that man, in the course of his life, has invented himself and all the values, meanings, truth, justice and religions; so man's essence is a spin-off of his existence. He finds meaning in life because he believes life is eternal. He thinks his ethical choices and actions stretch beyond his terrestrial

'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' " What gives Dr. Sahu's study its true distinction, is his ability to move from such abstract, generalizing theories, sociological, economic, metaphysical and psycho-analytical, to specific, concrete details of the major plays of Williams.

They also tellus that the surrender of ego is one of the preliminaryrequirements of a spiritual pilgrimage. But a shadowfalls between what they say and what ordinary peopleunderstand. Ego is an abstract term, which apart frommeaning what it generally means in general parlance,stands for the
