This paper intends to study the representation of exploitation of the weak in Shahid
Nadeem’s play “The Third Knock”. Nadeem employs the theme of resurrection to present the
plight of poor and weak. Nadeem shows that how the poor has to go through repetitive
oppression at the hands of the powerful and are deprived of their rights. Nadeem’s skillful use of
the concept of resurrection and the use of the metaphor of ‘knock’ highlights the corruption and
power play victimizing the weak in our society.
