Friendship

# Task given by Vaidehi Mam
# For Showing our Grammar mistake and writing.



Friendship is a relaxing of mutual affection between people. Friendship is a stronger form of if interpersonal bond than an association. Friendship has been studied in academic fields such as communication , sociology, social psychology, anthorpology and philosophy. Various academic theories of friendship have been proposed , including social exchange theory , equity theory ,relational dialectics and attachment styles.

Friendship is born in a million different ways, and all good friends strive to achieve the same goal to be a source of love and support. Finding a true friend feels like a gift that keeps on giving , even when they are thousands miles away. Through stressful classes, figuring out a career, and inevitable breakups, your best friends have been there. And yes, when you got those bangs you shouldn't have tried in the first place they consoled you.

Shashi Tharoor

# Sahitya Academy 
# Thinking Activity 



Hello Reader....

I am back again to talk about a blog with you on Sahitya Academy award 2019. Shashi tharoor. This Blog task Given by our Professor Dr. Dilip Barad sir. Click here to visit Dr. Dilip sir's blog. He is giving that types of blog task for gaining some knowledge and have information about that.

Shashi Tharoor was born on 09- March - 1956 in London , England. He is the Prominent Indian diplomat and Politician who after along service in the international diplomatic crops, became an official in the government of India. He was also a highly regarded author of both nonfiction and fiction books.

He also serves as Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs.Tharoor began as a career diplomat with the United Nations and went on to become its Vice-Secretary General. After contesting an election to the Secretary General's office unsuccessfully in 2006, he left the multilateral agency. He secured the Congress ticket from the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency in 2009 amid a lot of opposition from the Kerala wing of the party. He was in the news a couple of years ago after he won a debate at Oxford arguing that the British must pay reparations to its former colonies.

Tharoor won the election and was made a Minister of State for External Affairs in the Manmohan Singh Cabinet in the United Progressive Alliance I (UPA I) government. Despite being embroiled in a host of controversies, related to sweat equity in an Indian Premier League team and the suspicious death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, Tharoor won a second term in 2014.

As he is quite popular among the urban youth, it will be interesting to watch how well he can pull that section of the electorate towards the Congress in Kerala.

Shashi Tharoor is the bestselling author of fifteen previous books, both fiction and non-fiction, besides being a noted critic and columnist. His books include the path-breaking satire The Great Indian Novel (1989), the classic India: From Midnight to the Millennium (1997), and most recently, India Shastra: Reflections on the Nation in Our Time (2015). He was a former Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and a former Minister of State for Human Resource Development and Minister of State for External Affairs in the Government of India. He is a two-time member of the Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram and chairs Parliament’s External Affairs Committee. He has won numerous literary awards, including a Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and was honoured as New Age Politician of the Year (2010) by NDTV. He was awarded the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, India’s highest honour for overseas Indians.

Tharoor has kicked up quite a few controversies over the years. When Pranab Mukherjee initiated an austerity drive during UPA I, the former diplomat was found staying in a 5-star hotel for weeks. On Twitter, he ruffled feathers when he said he

"would travel cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows".

He was in the news a couple of years ago after he won a debate at Oxford arguing that the British must pay reparations to its former colonies of 18 bestselling works of fiction and non-fiction, Tharoor has been a vocal critic of the Narendra Modi government. He also penned a book recently about the failures of the present dispensation at the Centre.

Shashi Tharoor An author, politician, and former international civil servant, Shashi Tharoor straddles several worlds of experience. Currently a third-term Lok Sabha MP representing the Thiruvananthapuram constituency and Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, he has previously served as Minister of State for Human Resource Development and Minister of State for External Affairs in the Government of India. During his nearly three-decade long prior career at the United Nations, he served as a peacekeeper, refugee worker, and administrator at the highest levels, serving as Under-Secretary General during Kofi Annan's leadership of the organisation.

This book was published in 2017.  This was written in post colonial context. How the British empire is ruled on Indian people And also the thing is that how they make disastrous effect on in Indian Economy. In his interview we find that many argument that I like the most.

Videos of Shashi Tharoor.



That all are videos about Shashi Tharoor and he give speech about Looking Back at the British Raj in India: The University of Edinburgh.

He is write many books like An Dark Era of Inglorious empires.



In 1930, the American historian and philosopher Will Durant wrote that Britain’s ‘conscious and deliberate bleeding of India… [was the] greatest crime in all history’. He was not the only one to denounce the rapacity and cruelty of British rule, and his assessment was not exaggerated. Almost thirty-five million Indians died because of acts of commission and omission by the British—in famines, epidemics, communal riots and wholesale slaughter like the reprisal killings after the 1857 War of Independence and the Amritsar massacre of 1919. Besides the deaths of Indians, British rule impoverished India in a manner that beggars belief. When the East India Company took control of the country, in the chaos that ensued after the collapse of the Mughal empire, India’s share of world GDP was 23 per cent. When the British left it was just above 3 per cent.

The British empire in India began with the East India Company, incorporated in 1600, by royal charter of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, to trade in silk, spices and other profitable Indian commodities. Within a century and a half, the Company had become a power to reckon with in India. In 1757, under the command of Robert Clive, Company forces defeated the ruling Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula of Bengal at Plassey, through a combination of superior artillery and even more superior chicanery. A few years later, the young and weakened Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II, was browbeaten into issuing an edict that replaced his own revenue officials with the Company’s representatives. Over the next several decades, the East India Company, backed by the British government, extended its control over most of India, ruling with a combination of extortion, double-dealing, and outright corruption backed by violence and superior force. This state of affairs continued until 1857, when large numbers of the Company’s Indian soldiers spearheaded the first major rebellion against colonial rule. After the rebels were defeated, the British Crown took over power and ruled the country ostensibly more benignly until 1947, when India won independence.

In this explosive book, bestselling author Shashi Tharoor reveals with acuity, impeccable research, and trademark wit, just how disastrous British rule was for India. Besides examining the many ways in which the colonizers exploited India, ranging from the drain of national resources to Britain, the destruction of the Indian textile, steel-making and shipping industries, and the negative transformation of agriculture, he demolishes the arguments of Western and Indian apologists for Empire on the supposed benefits of British rule, including democracy and political freedom, the rule of law, and the railways. The few unarguable benefits—the English language, tea, and cricket—were never actually intended for the benefit of the colonized but introduced to serve the interests of the colonizers. Brilliantly narrated and passionately argued, An Era of Darkness will serve to correct many misconceptions about one of the most contested periods of Indian history.

#Review of the Book.

‘Gifted writing, masses of dexterously marshaled information, pithily summarized ideas and a sharp debating style, which fences more with the sword than with the shield, make for riveting reading. Professors writing on colonial exploitation have suffered from the sadness of their subject. Tharoor makes it fun. By far the liveliest recent exposition of the traditional Indian nationalist viewpoint, his book can be recommended unhesitatingly…’
—India Today

‘Shashi Tharoor’s latest, An Era of Darkness, is one breathless read…Until [this book] came along, there was no single work that clearly and unambiguously catalogued all the harm done to India under British rule.’ —Business Line ‘The book serves to correct many misconceptions about one of the most contested periods of Indian history’.
—Deccan Chronicle

‘[Tharoor] has produced a bestseller that will re-ignite thinking and debate and open the eyes of the younger generation in India and hopefully in Britain on this “era of darkness’…Tharoor’s new contribution is that he even takes apart the commonly accepted argument…that the British Empire left quite a bit of good in India…’
—Business Standard

‘By rewriting the history of the British Raj as it really was, Tharoor has lifted a great load from millions of still-colonised minds in this country; while simultaneously providing an opportunity to the heirs of carpetbaggers and adventurers of the Raj to atone and apologize.’
—Education World

‘Tharoor reveals with acuity, impeccable research, and trademark wit, just how disastrous British rule was for India’
—The Sunday Guardian

‘Tharoor’s arguments have smashed to smithereens the claim that the British prepared India for a system of parliamentary democracy and laid the foundation for the rule of law…we all should be grateful to Tharoor for writing a book of enduring value, and it will be desirable to see it translated into different Indian languages as it is of interest to the public at large.’
—Frontline

‘Tharoor’s thrusts are painful, and his approach is that of a shrewd debater—which Tharoor excels at—attacking each proclaimed virtue from all fronts, leaving the supporter of the empire defenceless. He shows—with facts and statistics—how post-independence India has made rapid strides in economic and social development, which were simply impossible during the colonial era, and without stressing on the point too loudly, reminds the reader how much more India could have achieved had it been able to modernize without colonial subjugation’ —LiveMint

‘The reality is, as Tharoor points out, that “we were one of the richest countries in the world when the British came in but when they left us, we were one of the poorest.”
 —Mail Today

In An Era of Darkness, consummate debater and author Shashi Tharoor recreates the British Raj with all its horrors and also elucidates the awe-inspiring struggle of India's freedom fighters. He gives us a valuable insight on how dark forces operate and on who are harbingers of hope—it's a valuable lesson at a time when thugs are masquerading as our saviours…at a time when debate has been reduced to a cacophony of slogans and insults by bhakts, Tharoor's writing, with its expansive case studies and citations and sustained argument, all augmented by his felicity of language, may just come as an eye-opener to us all.

John Keats

# John Keats
# Thinking Activity
# Paper -2 Romantic Literature


Hello Reader....

I welcome to all Reader on my blog. Today I'm write about John Keats and his poem on death and also some other writers poems. This blog task given by our Professor Dr. Heenaba Zala , click here for her blog post on John Keats. Today I'm talking about the concept of Death from his poems.

# Information about John Keats
Along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats was one of the most prominent figures of the second generation of English Romantic poets. Keats died due to tuberculosis in 1821 at the age of only 25. His work was in publication for only four years and it was not generally well received by critics during his lifetime. The most famous and acclaimed poems of Keats are a series of six odes known as the Odes of 1819. However, his reputation grew after his death and by the end of the 19th century, he became one of the most beloved of all English poets.  Through his 1819 odes, Keats created a new type of short lyrical poem, which influenced later generations.The most highly regarded among these is To Autumn, which has been called one of the most perfect short poems in the English language.

# Concept of Death.

Death is not end of anything but death is the starting of everything. Death is not stopping life but death is starting new life. Death is the symbol of New starting. As North of Fray told in his eassy the concept of Tragedy is like Winter , because it is the fall of natura and we are also told that Death of things, but as we know cycle can't stop after this fall and Winter, Spring is come and Spring is the symbol of Birth. So that cycle of natura also follow that rules. And as we also know Death is the Bitter truth and people can't accept that Truth.

But Literature give permission to write about the Death and many writer wrote about the Death.

For the better understanding about the Death I paste here Video link.


After the understanding of Death I talk about what is the space in Literature.

Now I'm taking about the John Keats's Poem La Belle dame sans Merci.

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
       Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
      And no birds sing.


O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
       So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
       And the harvest’s done.


I see a lily on thy brow,
       With anguish moist and fever-dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
       Fast withereth too.


I met a lady in the meads,
       Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
       And her eyes were wild.


I made a garland for her head,
       And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
       And made sweet moan


I set her on my pacing steed,
       And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
       A faery’s song.


She found me roots of relish sweet,
       And honey wild, and manna-dew,
And sure in language strange she said—
       ‘I love thee true’.


She took me to her Elfin grot,
       And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
       With kisses four.


And there she lullèd me asleep,
       And there I dreamed—Ah! woe betide!
The latest dream I ever dreamt
       On the cold hill side.


I saw pale kings and princes too,
       Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried—‘La Belle Dame sans Merci
       Thee hath in thrall!’


I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
       With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
       On the cold hill’s side.


And this is why I sojourn here,
       Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
       And no birds sing.

“La Belle Dame sans Merci” as a Representative of Deception: 

La Belle dame sans Merci" ( the beautiful lady without mercy) is a Ballad produced by the English poet John Keats in 1819. The title of the 15th - century Poem by Alain Chartier called La Belle Dame Sans Merci.

The poem narrates a tragic story of a knight who falls in love with a lady, but she leaves him as falls ill. A stranger meets the knight and inquires about his miserable condition. The knight tells him about the beautiful woman in the meadows. They have been in love as she has walked alongside him and sung beautiful songs for him. Once, she took him to her special place where he kissed her, and the calmness around made him sleep. He then dreamed strange people warning him about that fair lady. He woke up by the cold hillside where the stranger found him. The tragic ballad tells about the sad condition of the knight and the deception of the lady.

Metaphor: It is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between the objects that are different in nature. For example, “I see a lily on thy brow”. Here the paleness is compared to a white lily.

Symbolism: Symbolism means to use symbols to signify ideas and qualities, giving them symbolic meanings different from literal meanings. The phrases such as; “no birds sing”, “lily on thy brow” and “fading rose” symbolize the arrival of death.

Imagery: Imagery is used to make readers perceive things involving their five senses. For example, “She took me to her Elfin grot”, “I saw pale kings and princes too” and “And there she wept and sighed full sore.”

After that example I give more examples about the death. Click Here for the death poems written by many famous writer.

ભારતીય વિવેચન આપણને સૂક્ષ્મ અનુસંધાન અને જગત સાથે જોડાવા માટે મદદ કરે છે. આપણો ગમે તેવું કરવાનો અનુરાગ હોય છે અને આપણા ગમા-અણગમા ઉપર એનો આધાર રહેલો હોય છે. આને સમજાવવા માટે ભારતીય કવ્યા શાસ્ત્ર માં વિવેચક એક શ્લોક આપે છે.

कवि करोति काव्यानि, रसोन करोति कल्याणी , तरु सृजति पुष्पाणि।


ભારતીય મીમાંસા નો પ્રારંભ ભરત મુનિ એ કર્યો હતો. ભારતનો સાહિત્યપ્રેમી વિચાર એ રસ હતો. એમજ આનંદવર્ધન નો સાહિત્યપ્રેમી વિચારો ધ્વનિ, કુંતક નો વક્રોક્તિ, વામન નો રિતી, ભામન નો અલંકાર હતા.

Indian poetics is unique in the whole world.

ભાષા વગર વિચાર ના આવી શકે. - Palto
ભાષા પ્રાકૃતિક નથી. ભાષા નો આપડે ઉપયોગ કરીએ છીએ વાતચીત માટે. પ્રાકૃતિક આવાજ છે. ભાષા દ્વારા લાગણી, પીડા વગેરે વ્યક્ત કરી શકાય પણ કોઈ ને એનો અનુભવ ના થઈ શકે. કદાચ ભાષા ના હોત તો માનવી ક્યારેય ખોટું ના બોલી શકતો હોત. આપણે જે અર્થ પહોંચાડીએ તે ભાષા નથી પરંતુ જે બોલીએ છીએ તેના દ્વારા આપડે ખાલી ભાવ પહોંચાડીએ છીએ પણ ભાષા નહિ પહોંચાડી શકતા. આપણે વાત કરીએ ત્યારે આપડે કોઈ ને ભાવ પહોંચાડીએ છીએ ભાષા નહિ. આપડે અર્થ નહિ પરંતુ ભાવ દ્વારા ભાવ પહોંચાડીએ છીએ. ભાવ વિશ્વ એટલે અનુભવ નું વિશ્વ. ભાવ સૃષ્ટિ ને આધારે જ Indian poetics ની રચના કરી હતી. ભરત મુનિ દ્વારા રસ નિષ્પત્તિ ની પ્રક્રિયા વર્ણવી હતી. અને પાણીની દ્વારા વ્યાકરણ શાસ્ત્ર ની રચના કરવામાં આવી.

Language is a Imitation.  - Plato

રસ સંપ્રદાય

રસ સંપ્રદાય ની રચના ભરત મુનિ દ્વારા કરવામાં આવી હતી. અને નાટ્ય શાસ્ત્ર, નાટ્ય રસ , નો પણ તેમને ઉચ્ચાર કરેલો છે. કાવ્ય ને સંસ્કૃત માં સાહિત્ય કહેવાય છે. રસ નિષ્પત્તિ માટે શ્લોક પણ આપવામાં આવ્યો છે.

4. સંયોગ
- વિભાવ, અનુભાવ, વ્યભિચારી ભાવ / સંચારી ભાવ આ ત્રણેય ભાવ ના મિશ્રણ ને સંયોગ કહેવામાં આવે છે. આ ત્રણેય ભાવ ના સંયોગ ને થાય ત્યારે રસ નિષ્પત્તિ થાય છે. સંયોગ પરથી સંયોજન શબ્દ આવેલો છે.
* બાળક નું હસવું એ એના વિચાર માં નહિ પરંતુ એ દોષારોપણ થાય છે.

I. A. Richards

#I. A. Richards 
#Thinking Activity
#Paper -3. Literary Criticism 


Hello Reader...

   Here I wrote about the grate critic and poet , I. A. Richards but he differs from the new critics is one important respect. While the New critics limit themselves rigorously to the poem under consideration. I. A. Richards also take into account it's effects on the reader.

His full name is Ivor Armstrong Richard ( 26 February 1893 - 7 September 1979) . He was the English educator, literary critic and rhetorician. As a thinking activity we have select one poem, song, devotional song or any poetic expression for verbal analysis. According to the I. A. Richard's essay on Figurative Language. Who has been highly influencial in developing a new way of reading poetry that lead to the new Criticism and that also influenced some forms of reader response.

Affective Criticism and laboratory techniques other forms of psychological Criticism. Richards' evaluation of various psychology views of art, his rejection of bedonism, of the specifically "aesthetic" emotion , of empathy , etc. In favor of synaesthesia. Criticism of Richards notion that the poise is in our response and not in the structure of the stimulating object, other theory are based on fusion , his Criticism of Eliot the resemblance and differences between the theories of Rechards and Eliot's.

In Plato's view that Poetry 'feeds and waters the passion" and in Aristotle's doctrine of catharsis. But in 19th century , the decay of metaphysics and the extraordinary growth of the physical science gave a special stress to affective theories.

Freud's theory of wit and the comic has been discussed in a preceding chapter. Though Freud did not apply his theory of wit directly to Literature , certain parallels clearly suggest themselves. The creation of Poetry like the creation of wit draws upon the unconscious , poetry and wit are both in some sense ' inspired .' Many of techniques of Poetry , like those of wit and dream , are evidently to be subsumed under a principal of condensation.

In which we find that four kinds of meaning like that :

1. Sense : sense is what is said and which is referred by writer.

2. Feeling :  feeling is referred various kind of emotions. Words express these feelings.

3. Tone :  Tone is the writer's attitude to his audience and readers.

4. Intention : Intention is the writer's aim, which may be conscious or unconscious. It refers to the effect that he tries to produce.


Analysis of Poem.

In this Department we wrote many blogs about every thing. We use all the things and we also join many other online course like MOOC.

In this blog I wrote about the Indian Author Arundhati Roy.  Authors generally express their feelings and experiences through their best narrative style and storytelling. She is great Writer and she was very famous writer and also Actress and also political Activist.


Arundhati Roy , Full Name Suzanna Arundhati Roy, born in 24 - November - 1961 , Shillong , Meghalaya , India.
She is a Indian author , actress and political activist. She was best known for the Award - winning novel The God of Small Things written in 1997 and for her involvement in environmental and Human rights causes.

Roy’s father was a Bengali tea planter, and her mother was a Christian of Syrian descent who challenged India’s inheritance laws by successfully suing for the right of Christian women to receive an equal share of their fathers’ estates.

Awards & Honors :- 

1. The Booker Prize ( 1997 ).
2. The Sydney Peace Prize ( 2004 ).
3. The National Film Award for best                    Screenplay ( 1988 ).

Screenplay :- 

1. In which Annie gives it those once (1989).
2. Electric Moon (1992).

First play based on her experiences as a student of Architecture. Both plays are directed by her husband, Pradip Krishen, during the marriage.


 Notable Works :- 

1. The God of Small Things.
2. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness.


Arundhati Roy was a great writer, Screenplay Writer, actress , political activist. She is wrote about on politics and also about the situation of our political system. In her interview and also in her book or in her journalism life she is always against of politics. And she also talk about the cast system of India and also she told india divided in many cast. And also difference between touchable and untouchables and condition of untouchables after the partition of India. She also a Agitator and she do many Movements against the Government and politicians.

In her book "The God of Small Things" in this book she discribe real India or we can also told that Bed Situation of India. In this book she talk about the cast system, about the difference between Touchable and Untouchables , and talk about the religion and also about the religious people who blindly believe on God. In which she talked about untouchability, social exclusion, feminism, postcolonial cosmopolitanism and childhood experiences of fraternal twins, whose lives are destroyed by the ' love laws '. The novel highlights the situation of women in the society , about the rape cases , Murder, and etc. etc.


Her second novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), highlights the orthodox mentality of people. She called Narendra Modi as Gujarat ka lalla, and Manmohan singh as Caged Rabbit, Kejarival as a Mister Aggraval. Thus she strikes on many political incidents. Here is the video best describes the content of her novel.


The novel weaves together stories of people navigating some of the darkest and most violent episodes of modern Indian history, from land reform that dispossessed poor farmers to the 2002 Godhra train burning and Kashmir insurgency. And in this time many movement happened in our country India and that time many people lost their lives.
Roy's characters run the gamut of Indian society and include an intersex woman (hijra), a rebellious architect, and her landlord who is a supervisor in the intelligence service. And because of that people feel bad for her because of this novel. And she face that problem also in her life. The narrative spans across decades and locations, but primarily takes place in Delhi and Kashmira and about terrorism attacks and many people lost their life in this attacks.

In last that is a difficult question for me to answer Arundhati Roy's perspective towards life. Because she done many works during her life and she play lots of characters in her life because she is actress , novel writer journalist , and she also wife , daughter , mother like many relations. So that's why I am not able to tell the purpose of her life.

Thank you....

Frankestein

# Frankestein : by Marry Shelley
# Date : 23 - November - 2019
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein v/s Kennath Branagh' s movie Frankenstein:

Hello Reader...

Here I'm writing about Frankestein written by Marry Shelley. We watch movie on this novel directed by Kennath Branagh.  Dr.Heenaba Zala giving this task and click here for viewing full blog written by Dr. Heena man. 

About the Writer 
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.

Pre Viewing task : 

• What is gothic scientific fiction?

Answer :
Gothic scientific fiction means the subgenre fiction like Vampires, Villain, bed invention of science, explained in a science fiction contact. Gothic fiction is a type of novel or romance popular in the late 18th and early 19th c. The word ‘gothic’ had come to mean ‘wild’, ‘barbarous’ and ‘crude’.  Commonly that vampires are aliens or those infected by disease. Some features entire planets of vampires, or vampires like creation. In other works Gothic convention to setting of outer space and the concept   
of extraterrestrials. Gothic fiction (sometimes referred to as Gothic horror) is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. Some works blend gothic science fiction with other science fiction subgenres. Example are Frankestein and also Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The plots hinged on suspense and mystery, involving the fantastic and the supernatural.

But it contains Gothic elements in its themes and visual designs. Gothic friction pointing to Marry Shelley's novel  Frankenstein as an example :  
" Science fiction is the search for definition of man and his status in the universe which will stand in our advance but confused state of knowledge of science and is characteristically cast in the Gothic or post gothic mode.


•      What is a frame narrative?

Answer : 
The frame story serves to highlight the contrast between Frankenstein, the mad scientist, and normal, decent society, as represented by Robert Walton. Frame narratives, as exemplified by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, were popularly used in nineteenth century English literature to introduce multiple characters and perspectives. This literary device was a layered narrative that featured a story within a story, at times within yet another story. Dino Felluga remarks that this form operates by “in structure the thematic search for something deep, dark, and secret at the heart of the narrative”.
In the case of Frankenstein, this search extends to the hearts of the characters directing the frame as well. Though Walton has much in common with Frankenstein, as we shall see, there's no way in a million years he would ever entertain the kind of deranged fantasies in which Victor has indulged. In that sense, Walton acts as a foil to Victor, and the use of a frame story is an especially effective means of bringing out the personal characteristics that set him apart from the crazed scientist.

•       What is the point of view of the author?
Answer :- 
Marry Shelley wrote such a great story about the science , scientist , and lifestyle of Westland people. Marry wrote everything in his book. Marry was a great Writer.


•    What are the viewpoints of different characters?
Answer:-
In this Novel Writer use many new things and also about the view point of different characters.

•        Do you have confusion about the title of the novel?

Answer :- 
In this story , story start with the voyage but than Victor told his past story and than we can realized that this story is about science , invention , rebirth , and etc things.

•       Who do you think is the real monster, the Creator or the Creature?



•        What is tabula rasa?
Answer :-
The Influence of Tabula Rasa in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
Tabula Rasa (Blank State) is an empirical philosophical notion that John Locke used is a crucial factor in analyzing and understanding Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

Locke’s concept of Tabula rasa affected the development of Shelley’s character, Frankenstein’s creature. It is understood that she was under the influence of John Locke’s theory as she was reading Locke’s book Essay Concerning Human Understanding while Shelley was writing Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus.

As John Locke states in his book An Essay Concerning Human Understanding that “Let us suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper, void of all characters.” This notion is applied in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and it influenced the cognitive development of the creature in the novel.

Another influential subject that Tabula Rasa influenced Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and Frankenstein’s creature is that the idea in Locke’s Tabula Rasa that the infant should be educated by her or his parents and when Victor Frankenstein created the Creature he abandoned him, and this shaped the actions of the Creature.

To conclude, the idea of Tabula Rasa had a big impact on literary work Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus because the way Mary Shelley wrote this novel. In the novel, it is clearly seen that the Creature is like an infant with no opinions or knowledge about the world he came in. He was all alone and there was no one that could teach him what to do or how to do even his creator Victor Frankenstein ran away from him.


•        What is the significance of the subtitle "The Modern Prometheus"?
Answer:- 
Frankestein is a great scientist and that's why Marry Shelley have that name of novel. So i think it is perfect but if we want to change than that is also good title for book.

The Influence of Tabula Rasa in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
Tabula Rasa (Blank State) is an empirical philosophical notion that John Locke used is a crucial factor in analyzing and understanding Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

Contacting with situations in the environment creates a change in the person. The non-existent relationship with the environment and society shaped the Creature and it is understood that the influence of environment and society about Tabula Rasa influenced the way Mary Shelley wrote and depicted the setting of the book.

He could have been a completely different person and character if his creator or even the society had not turned their backs on him, but he was detested so this made him who he is and how he reacted the situations he was in. He was basically a baby in a big body that wanted sympathy, love, compassion and human interaction and a parental or societal guidance which maybe would have made him to be a better person and a part of society. Without John Locke’s Tabula Rasa this novel could have been completely different and maybe it would not gain the attraction it had on the literary world as a classic novel it is now.


•        Do you think Mary Shelley's Frankenstein stands on the brick of revolutionary changes?
Answer:- 
Merry wrote this Novel in such a new ideas and wrote on science and also about the scientist. And also about his invention so in that time no one wrote that type of story so it is Revolutionary Chang in this era.



While viewing the movie:

•      How is the beginning and the end of the movie?
Answer :
Movie Biggins with the sea voyage and also complete with the sea.


•        Do you feel the effect of horror in the movie?
Answer : 
In the movie of Frankestein director using the horror effect and also horror voice and music. So in movie some time we show horror effect in the movie. And it's make movie interesting and effecting.


•       What do you think about the character of the monster in the movie?
Answer :-
In the movie and also in novel we hardly find monster because looking ugly is not reason to call someone monster. Behind the giving name monster we can show monster to society. Because they can't listen to anyone and give punishment to the person. So monster is the society.
But in this question we can find that Victor's creation is monster because of his look but some time Victor also doing like monster. Monster give him one commitment that if Victor creat lady monster for him and he goes far away from them. But Victor can't do this and than monster kill Elizabeth. Than Victor creat Elizabeth as a lady monster because monster kill Elizabeth.

•        What do you think about the conversation between Victor and the monster?
Answer:-
Victor creat this ugly person. But he don't like his creation. After  his creation he show him and he wrote that " I creat a huge, stronge and ugly person." That's why he don't like him and Victor can't accept him. And Victor try tho this person but he run away. And he read book of Victor , How Victor Frankestein creat him and what he think about him at that time he hate him and he find Victor. And he first time meet when Jessy died. And than they may in "ice sea"  and Victor ask him and he answered Victor with some promise, that Victor creat a one lady monster and he go far from this world. Monster promise to Victor but Victor not complete his promise and than Monster kill Elizabeth.

•       Do you think that some scenes are omitted or replaced by other scene? How is the effect of these changes?
Answer:-
No need to change anything. But if someone think it is omitted by either or director than he/she do Chang or replace scene as he or she like.


•        Do you think the director has used appropriate symbols in the movie?
Answer : 
Kennath Branagh was a great director. He use such a great theme in his movies. And he also use appropriate symbols in his movie.



Post-viewing tasks:

•      What is the difference between the movie and the novel?
Answer  : 

As we know Book is so deep and so long and so boring some time but when we talk about movie is so short and complete the story on 2-3 hours and use all things and think not much deep and some time for better understanding we also show movies and take help of the movie.


•      Does the movie help you to understand narrative structure of the novel?
Answer : 
Yaa.. movie is so help full for better understanding the movie. Some time they use real dialogues and also imagination of Writer and directer. And also help full for better understanding of narrative structure of the novel. Directer play such a great story and also giving a horror effect in the movie.


•        Do you think the movie is helpful to understand the viewpoints of different characters?
Answer : 
Yes. This movie creat such a great Understanding of the novel and we also understand the Novel by the movie. Because directer use original dailogus in the movie and use many view points about the characters.

Victor is the inventor and he he invent such a great thing and he creat man after his death. And he was successful but he also make mistake and his invention look is so dangerous and people call him monster.
So his view point are good and helping but he some time fail in that. And he also trying to do good.


•     What do you think about the creation of lady monster in the novel and Elizabeth's look of a monster in the movie?
Answer : 
Victor can't create any monster in the book or also in the movie. Victor invent such a great thing but for his some small mistake he look like monster. Elizabeth is his wife and love so he accept her and she is not monster in the movie.

•        Think about Victor's acceptance of Elizabeth and rejection of the monster.
Answer : 
Victor creat such a great thing and his invention is great but some of the reasons they look like monster. Elizabeth is also the part of this invention and she look like monster. But she was not monster because she is the invention of Victor. And Victor love Elizabeth so much so he accept her and in last he think about his first creation. He is also look like monster and he ( Victor) can't accept him because of his look and also Society.

•     Do you think the director is faithful to the novel?
Answer: 
Not much understand about this because in which contains and concept he think and what's going in his mind when he make movie. They is understand by him only. So I'm not sure about this answer. He is faithful and also he can't.

Mathew Arnold

# Thinking Activity.
# Mathew Arnold : The Study of Poetry.
# Characteristics of Poetry.


Touch this picture of Mathew Arnold and go on Professor Dr. Dilip Barad Sir blog.

Here I’m posting my answer of thinking activity on Matthew Arnold which is given by our professor Dr. Dilip Barad Sir. Click here for the more information about Mathew Arnold written by our Professor Dr. Dilip sir for the help of students and also for Knowledge. Matthew Arnold One of the foremost criticisms of the 19th century is often regarded as the father of modern English criticism. Arnold's work as literary criticism began with "Preface to poems" in 1853.

Important works in Criticism: 

Preface to poems, 1853, Essays in Criticism (2 very imp essays are The Function of Criticism at the Present Time in the First Series and The Study of Poetry in the Second Series), Culture and Anarchy
Main ideas / Synopsis of the Function of Criticism at the Present Time
Arnold's idea of ​​Criticism and its function.

This is a kind of manifesto of his critical creed. It reflects classicism as well as its views on grand poetic style. Arnold was a classicist who loved art, literature and Hellenic culture. While criticism may be considered lower in rank, creation of great works of art is not always equally possible. The elements with which creative power works are ideas, but the best and noble ideas may not always be current. That is why the creative era is so rare in literature.

Do you agree with Matthew Arnold's views on detachment, disinterestedness, fallacies like historical and personal, touchstone method and his definition of poetry? If you agree, why and on what grounds do you agree? If you disagree, why and what are the points of disagreement?

Matthew Arnold, Victorian Age of English Poet and Cultural Criticism and also Inspector of Schools. Here I am going to give my view on his three views or methods, the first is his views on detachment and disinterestedness, fallacies like historical and personal, the second is his 'touchstone method', and the third is his definition of poetry. Arnold also says that the criticism of the business is neither to find fault nor to display the critic's own learning or influence; It is to know “the best that has been thought and said in the world.” And to do this detachment and disinterestedness is an essential element which needs to be criticized at this point I agree with Arnold.

His most famous piece of literary criticism is in his essay "The Study of Poetry". In this work he talks about poetry's "high destiny". He believes "humans will discover that we have to turn to poetry to interpret life for us, to console us, to sustain us".
Arnold lived in a materialistic world where advancement of science led society into a strange darkness. Importance of religion was submerged.

For great creation, the power of the man and the moment of power must concur, but the moment of power may not always be available. Even the romantics of the tremendous natural power were partially crippled by the lack of intellectual life in the English society of the nineteenth century. It makes Byron empty of matter, Shelley is incoherent and even Wordsworth wants completeness and variety.

 This is where criticism comes to play.

1. Criticism has the power to make the best ideas prevail. It is the criticism of the business to know the best that is known and thought in the world and its turn to make it known and create a current of true and fresh ideas. It creates stir and growth which makes creation possible. That is why great creative epochs are preceded by great epochs of criticism.

2. In order to be successful, criticism must exercise curiosity, which is a desire to know the best, and which should not be taken as a term of disparagement.

3. Criticism must also be disinterested. It must keep aloof from the 'practical view of things'. The critic must try to look at an object with detachment to see it 'as it really is', without being stifled by practical / political considerations. Arnold is of the view that the judgment of a critic should never be swayed by the prejudices of the Barbarian, the Populace and the Philistines. A critic must shun provincialism, which may take the form of excess, ignorance or bathos, and must endeavor to 'connect with the main stream of human life'.

# Touch Stone method.

 In order to guide the critic in his performance of his task, Arnold prescribes his well known ‘Touchstone method’. He says that a real estimate can be attained by learning to feel and enjoy the best work of a real classic and appreciate the wide difference between it and other lesser works.

He further adds that high qualities lie both in the matter and substance, and in the manner and style of poetry. The Matter and substance will possess ‘truth and seriousness’, and this character is ‘inseparable from the superiority of diction and movement’ in style and manner. Arnold then suggest that it would do critics good if they always have in their minds lines and expressions of the great masters and apply them as touchstone to other poetry. This will help critics detect the presence or absence of high poetic quality, and also the degree of this quality. He then takes a few passages from Homer, Dante, Shakespeare and Milton, and points out that they belong to the class of the truly excellent.

In short, the critic must be disinterested in the sense that he should only pursue the ends of cultural perfection and should be uninfluenced by the coarser appeals of the Philistine. A critic who is disinterested and who tries to see the thing as it really is in itself, is likely to be misunderstood, because in England 'practice is everything, a free play of the mind is nothing'.


Arnold says poetry is an "application of ideas to life". If the application of ideas is powerful the poetry will become great. He also lays emphasis on quality of "high seriousness."It comes with sincerity which poet feels for his subject. Many critics disagreed Arnold, T.S.Elliot's great poet disagreed himself by saying Arnold's view is "frigid to anyone who has felt the complete surprise and new experience of elevation in poetry." Arnold classic poets include Dante, Milton, Homer and Shakespeare. He quotes the famous line of Milton.

            "Nor thy life nor hate;
              but what thou livest."
         Live well : how long or short,
                Permit to heaven."

According to Arnold Geoffrey Chaucer he was not a classic poet as he lacked "high seriousness".

Arnold says in quote the concept of life and love and also about the how we live that is important. And which way we live and faced anything in life that is most important in life.Arnold said poetry should deal with ideas not facts. And also Arnold says that in poetry 's Ideas should be moral. But we can  also find that in poetry the idea of heaven.  He said  moral should not be taken into narrow sense. He says "The revival of poetry against life; the moral idea of ​​indifference of a poem is a poetry of indifference towards life". And in last we can show that he was the grate writer and he was wrote such a grate work.

Thank you.......
