In the Tamil literary tradition, Sangham literature has a psychological perspective. Most of the Sangham songs are internal, Agam means-in inside, they describe the thoughts that arise in the mind by simulating the thematic events. Not only the communication, but one can feel that the 'psychological' activity of understanding the inner is inherent. Science says that people are those who operate half of the body and the rest of the soul. Therefore, the place of psychological activities in the literature of the people can be equal. At present, it is the need of time to approach literature with the view of 'psychology' which is an essential part of scientific fields. Modern Tamil literature (novels) is about the contemporary life of the Tamil people. The writer invents what he has seen and heard in his native language. The role of the mind in human dialectic is more important. In Tamil fiction, there are also impressions of psychology. Explaining psychological impressions with psychological theories and psychoanalytical ideas is vital today. The new path of seeing psychology used in literature demands new techniques. Hence, approaching literature from different perspectives leads to a pluralistic reading, related to literature, the psychology of the creator, the psychology of character creation, the psychology related to the publication of works, etc. becomes pertinent. In Tamil Literature, Ku. Chinnappabharathi is a modern writer who employs psychological features in his novels. His male characters are a clear example of it. This article deals with the psychological thoughts that appear in the way of 'male characters' in the novels of Ku. Chinnappabharathi.
