Sakharam Binder is probably Tendulkar’s most naturalistic play, as Arundhati Banerjee puts it. The play grew around the central character Sakharam, a binder who became the antithesis of the ideal view of his caste, that is Brahman.

He hates the traditional system of marriage and brings home cast–off Women whom he does not keep with him long . Thus Laxmi is the seventh woman to live with him when he becomes impotent owing to the presence of Laxmi , he also takes it on his women by kicking Laxmi and by strangling Champa to death. He does not know that he treats his women more cruelly than a cruel husband. Laxmi says : “ It is a year now since I entered this house. I haven’t had a single day’s rest., whether I’m sick or whether it’s a festival day. Nothing but work, work : work all the time. You torture me the whole day, you torture me at night . I’ll drop dead one of these days and that will be the end. ( 146)

The author Andrew Curry thinks that workers today are unfulfilled because they would rather work a job they do not like and earn more money than work a job that they are passionate about and earn less. He also talks about how people seem to work more than relax in today's age like when he says “instead of working less, our hours have stayed steady or risen.” (Curry, Kirszner and Mandell 399) the evidence that he uses to connect his view is the amount of people who complain about their jobs.

Ellen Goodman describes her stance of this issue in the piece, “The Company Man,” by employing repetition of important phrases and by showcasing the irony of Paul’s life. This conveys a sense of sympathy for Paul and his family and disapproval of his actions, who let his work consume his life, leading to his death. To begin, the use of repetition allowed Ellen Goodman to show her critical attitude and pity towards Phil.

Consequently, having found himself in a closed and authoritarian controlled locus, physically or mentally immersed in it, prisoners must "work" in order to restore freedom, “Thou best know’st What torment I did find thee in; thy groans Did make wolves howl, and penetrate the breasts Of ever-angry bears. It was a torment To lay upon the damn’d, which Sycorax Could not again undo. It was mine art, When I arriv’d and heard thee, that made gape The pine, and let thee out.” (Shakespeare, 1564-1616; 1958)
Indra, regarded here as the “highest god among the gods” lusts after a child, who he later stalks and deceives (19). Yet, the even more disturbing part of this tale exists in the relationship between Gautama and Ahalya, husband and wife.
