Contextualising Macbeth in Kerala: Analysing Joji as a Shakespearean Tragedy<\/h1>

Literary Cognizance: An International Refereed \/ Peer-Reviewed e-Journal of English Language, Literature and Criticism, Vol. VI, Issue 1, June 2025.<\/p>

This article examines the Malayalam film Joji as a thematic adaptation of William Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth. The study explores how Shakespearean tragic structures are reinterpreted within the cultural and social context of contemporary Kerala. By analysing narrative parallels, character transformations, and thematic continuities, the article demonstrates how Joji localises Shakespearean tragedy while maintaining the universal themes of ambition, power, guilt, and moral downfall.<\/p>

This paper examines the films Coma and Into the Wild through the theoretical framework of postmodernism. The study analyses how both films blur the boundaries between reality and imagination while questioning fixed notions of identity, truth, and human experience. By drawing on theorists such as Jean Baudrillard and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lyotard, the paper explores themes of hyperreality, fragmented identity, and the search for authenticity in contemporary narrative cinema.<\/p>
