If he follows his whims, in pursuit of money, power, physical gratification without thinking of consequences. ‘The physical desire of Shyama’, ‘the greed of an unseen sovereign’, and ‘the falsehood of guards’ and are the three things which are responsible for all the catastrophic consequences happened in the play. Let us see how this sovereign is greedy, how the guards falsely arrest the hero of the play, and how the physical desire of Shyama leads to catastrophic result.
