Part of our Study Task Modernist Poems of selected poets are analyzed here. Poets have written short poems but very dramatic. Means they are very much effective. Let's see one by one. 1. The Embankment   Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy, In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement. Now see I That warmth’s the very stuff of poesy. Oh, God, make small The old star-eaten blanket of the sky, That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie. By T. E. Hulme (1883-1917)  Analysis : First, a short paraphrase of the poem: on London’s Embankment (an area well-known for homeless people sleeping rough), a ‘fallen gentleman’ reflects on his past and how he found pleasure in worldly social activities (the ‘finesse of fiddles’ suggesting musical gatherings, such as dances) and beautiful women – probably (given the ‘flash of gold heels on the hard pavement ‘) courtesans or prostitutes. But now, down on his luck and most probably sleeping rough ...

We have seen 2 movies to understand the post colonial literature. As it was a group screening, we have a group task to give our views regarding both movies. Here are my views..... Click here to see Main Task of Study. Midnight's Children Midnight's Children by Deepa Mehta (released in 2013) is based on the novel by Salman Rushdie written in 1981 . The movie observes and represents the time of India's Freedom. Children who born on the exact time of India's freedom 15th August, 1947, Midnight at 12 o'clock, have special powers. That's why the title is relevant with the theme. The main theme of the movie is Magical Realism , which is very significant.  Rural India, Social Status and a ' Birth' in particular class of a society plays vital role in one's life. Mix-exchange of babies and how their identities lost is high lighted. Political satire is also could be seen. 1975's Emergency and it's effects are shown very symboli...

Two Great critic, philosopher, writer Nietzsche and T.S.Eliot Is it possible to compare their thoughts? Big Question but Let's Try....   (Part of study task)      Nietzsche's style is evocative. His Philosophy generates passionate reactions running from love to disgust. Throughout his works he talks about possible Great Human Beings who serve as an example of people who would follow his philosophical ideals. These ideals are in Nietzsche's words called The Free Spirit, The Philosopher of the Future, The True Artist or The Ubermensch.          He says that "God is Dead." He says Man is a rope, tied between super human and beasts.      T.S.Eliot tries to find out answers of modern malaise from Upanishads, Buddhism and Christianity. In that sense he seems to be regressive comparatively Nietzsche.         But the theme which is described in The Waste ...

     Being a student of Department of English, we have a topic to learn in our study, that is " Deconstruction ". Derrida  a famous critic has given this term.  What is Deconstruction ?       In the criticism of literature, Deconstruction is a theory and practice of reading which questions and claims to ‘subvert’ or ‘undermine’ the assumption that the system of language provides grounds that are adequate to establish the boundaries, the coherence or unity, and the determinate meaning of a literary text. Typically, a deconstructive reading sets out to show the conflicting forces within the text itself to dissipate the seeming definiteness of its structure and meaning into indefinite array of incompatibility and undecidable possibilities.       Derrida was the most influential philosopher in 70s and 80s of last century. His philosophy is the further extension of structuralism and is better called as Post-Structurali...

     As a part of our study, (click here to see the study part) we learn STRUCTURALISM and how structuralist do their criticism.       Almost all literary theorists since Aristotle have emphasized the importance of structure. ''Structuralist criticism" now designated the practice of critics who analyze literature on the explicite model of structuralist linguistics. This mode of criticism is a part of a large movement, French Structuralism in the 1950s by the cultural anthripologist Claude Levi-Strauss, who analyzed, on Saussure's liguistic model.       Saussure has said about linguistic structure in which he has emphasized on three terms:  1. Parole : Which is individual utterence, a word . Every person uses different words as per their birth place for the word "Water"  2. Langue : Which is perticular meaning of a perticular word.  3. Language : So many Langue combinely made a Language. A meaningful way ...

Analysing Hindi Poem "Tum Laye Kapde or Sab Nange Ho Gaye.." The very title could be seen in PARADOX. "How can one be nacked after waering cloths?" Who is being addressed that is question. Because everywhere "You" word is used but who is this "You" thts not clear. Use of word "Sansad" came here, it seems that poet is against some politician or rules. I think poet is indicating a politician who uses woman as a toy(thing) and it looks like poet is doing "STING OPERATION" of that politician who denies to accept his so called love when his crime is came infront of the people. It could be ALLUSION. Poet wants to say that neckedness is not hidden by cloths because Neckedness reflects through one's thoughts. People who are rich and wealthy, they hide their neckedness by using their money and their contacts, and blame poor people. By cloths people decide who is developed and who is not, who is rich and who is poor,...
