Thinking Activity on The Wasteland by T.S.Eliot

This blog is a part of task on thinking activity. Here is the link of it. 1 )     What are your views on the following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise? Eliot and Nietzsche, both have their own views and we can also find conflict in between them regarding their different views.

While on the other side, Nietzche believes in forward looking in giving solution to the problem of contemporary crises in faith and self. Eliot wants to bring awareness among the people through the mythical views and supernatural elements but Nietzsche does not believe in this tr...

Ode on oneness of literature

Any type of literary work is always connected with each other. There should be the difference in the way of presentation but the basic content of the art always remains the same. For a purpose of adding a charm or to prove some point he/she adds something creative in it and it makes the literature little bit different though the content or archetypal pattern always remains the same.  All literatures are connected with each other; all, those which are already written, those being written and those yet to be written. Thus, to understand a work of art, one must have an understanding of this continuity. Literature is like a tree and various literary approaches are like a branches of it, though it has many branches but their root always remain the same. T.S.Eliot also pointed out oneness of literature in his essay. Every new literature has a kind of connection with the existing monuments of literature. Northrop Frye gave the theory of Archetypal criticism based on the on...

"Task on Modern Poetry"

This blog is a part of my academic activity which was given to us in the paper of the Modernist literature. Before moving towards this task, let’s have a brief look on the modernism and modernist poetry.   The word modernism is a very vague term, whose precise meanings are very hard to pin down. But it can be said that modernism was started at the end of 19 th century and reached its most radical peak on the eve of World War I.   As far as modernist poetry is concerned, it mainly started in a yearly year of 20 th century or refers to a poetry written between 1890 and 1950 in Europe and North America in the tradition of modernist literature. The common characteristic of this poetry is that, the poets wrote poems in the open form and free verse rather than to follow or write in the tradition form and meter of poetry. The modern poetry is also characterized by a stream of conscious, which mirrors thoughts of the poet pop into conscious mind out of the subco...

Analytic review on "The Great Dictator"

Metaphorically literature is a mirror of society which reflects the good and evil values of society. Film study, as a part of literature helps us for better understanding of it. The Great Dictator provides us better understanding of the setting of society in 20th century and equally mirrors the political parody of modern age.   Charlie Chaplin Sir Charles Spencer was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer. He is considered as one of the most pivotal starts of the early days of Hollywood. He has cultivated the form of silent film which later reached at its highest pick and considered as the best art form of literature. Under the title “The Tramp” he gained a world wide fame and remembered as one of the most important figures in the history of film.
