Anthology from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This anthology consists of three term papers. The first paper primarily endeavours to elaborate upon the basic conception of tragedy as laid out by imminent critics over the ages; to religiously undertake a comprehensive close study of the classic tragedy "e;Romeo and Juliet"e; written by William Shakespeare; compare and contrast the previous works relating the story and Shakespeare s very own interpretation; to critically scrutinize and elucidate upon the theme of love, its nature and quality, which is the deciding factor of the play, with special reference been made to Sonnet no. 116 by William Shakespeare. Sight is a leading theme in "e;Romeo and Juliet"e; and the frequent use of words relating to visual perception is not random or gratuitous. Therefore, the primary object of the second paper is demonstrating that beside the well-debated forces that govern the action, there are others that may have been neglected. Precisely because readers may focus too much on the love story or on other outstanding elements of the play, such as the comic passages which stand in stark contrast with the tragic theme of the play, a considerable amount of intriguing aspects might escape our attention. These are subtle details, which serve a great purpose in the plot development. On many occasions, vision becomes the cause of a series of events in the play. Why did Shakespeare s Romeo and Juliet have to die? The third paper is going to explore three different reasons: the (seemingly) inevitable fate of the star-crossed lovers , the danger of immature love and the feud with its consequences for society, family, and coming of age. Ultimately, the paper will try to find out what Shakespeare might have wanted to tell his audience and how his messages are conveyed by recent film adaptations.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 9.00, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: This research aims to rework upon certain established and fundamental aspects of Larkin's poetry, which not only define but also determine his elusive philosophical stance. Larkin appears to have had a close affinity with the distinguished German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, the propounder of great systems of thought. Both Larkin and Schopenhauer seems to have been disillusioned by the frugal rewards of life and endeavoured to explore its subtleties.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: The present paper endeavours to give an in depth para-psychological reading of William Shakespeare's classic play 'Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark'. Two distinguished terminologies, "e;interoception"e; and "e;exteroception"e; are introduced and taken into consideration, while examining the central character, Prince Hamlet. Previous theories and critical observations are also analysed for a proper assessment of the play. Besides, it is also shown how a careful para-psychological reading can provide an antidote to all previous critical excesses. Critics have often looked upon the play as a potential "e;Pandora's box of troubles"e; interpreting it in a distinctive variety of spectrums. However, the following research shall show how the play is Shakespeare's systematic study and a tribute to the superior intellect of man.

Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, "e;Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world"e;. To Shelley, a poet was a sort of a prophet, a foreseer, a foreboder, a minister who administrated the deepest truths and was next only to God. Reverting from this transcendence, Wordsworth looked upon the poet as "e;a man speaking to men"e; and not some superhuman creature, one whose emotions and feelings were in no way different from those of ordinary men and women. To level the fact more plainly, Philip Larkin was all that and a little more. He himself once said about his poems, that they should give his readers the feeling of "e;a chap chatting to chaps"e;. The present essay endeavours to show Philip Larkin as a distant yet sympathetic observer of various aspects of life.

Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Inroduction. William Shakespeare's classic 'Othello' is often seen as a concoction and identification of various themes, cultures and personalities. First published in 1622, and then in the First Folio (edited by Heminges and Condell) in 1623, with differences in the application of words persisting in the two consecutive editions. The play is one of the five major tragedies of Shakespeare, apart from 'Hamlet', 'Macbeth', 'Antony And Cleopatra' and 'King Lear', and is also one of the most popular. Interestingly, 'Othello' is perceived from a number of prospects, including noble versus Moorish, military versus civilian, Christian versus Heathen, good versus evil, appearance versus reality, loyalty versus treachery and civilized versus barbarian. But the present essay endeavours to show the play as Shakespeare's careful scrutinization of the two most common phenomenons- faith and honour.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: Henrik Ibsen's classic 'A Doll's House', which is also called a modern tragedy, raises questions against certain established notions such as love and marriage, faith and function. The present essay endeavours to elaborate upon these notions with special allusion to the problem play, which is also Ibsen's masterpiece.

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: In Sense And Sensibility, the revised title of Jane Austen's 'Elinor And Marianne' "e;sense"e; refers to common sense or wisdom whereas "e;sensibility"e;, the power of being emotionally alive or proactive. But this is a cliched perspective overworked and worn out by a large number of Austen scholars. The present essay endeavours to bring about a successful comprehension of the novel on the basis of Pareto's Principle, also known as the law of the vital few, the principle of factor sparsity or the 80/20 rule. Jane Austen (1775-1817), the most endearing novelist to her readers and one of the finest writers of prose fiction, who once humbly said about her craft that she wrote on a piece of ivory two inches wide (See Tony Tanner, 1986) composed her first novel ( Elinor and Marianne later renamed Sense And Sensibility ) in 1795 in the form of letters as an epistolary novel, later revising and re-revising it as a narrative novel before it finally published in 1811. Her authorship was penned covertly under the title By a lady . This anonymity was to continue until her death, but posed no hindrance to her fame, which continued to surge, holding her in high esteem as a skilfull and accomplished writer. But it was only after her death that her novels came to be critically appreciated and revalued by such eminent critics as Sir Walter Scott, A.C. Bradley, F.R. Leavis, Ian Watt and Henry James to name a few.

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Shakespeare's 'Antony And Cleopatra' is one of the five greatest tragedies, the other four being, 'Macbeth', 'Othello', 'Hamlet' and 'King Lear'. It is also considered a mature love story and a more prominent attempt than his previous bid 'Romeo And Juliet'. The play has provided tremendous scope to explore multiple disciplines, which include politics, geography, history, psychology, among others. Therefore, it has a cross-cultural and multi-dimensional appeal towards it. But the present essay endeavours to enlighten upon its dominant thematic aspect, which it argues to be love overall and, in which Shakespeare himself found something so great and surpassing, that he tried to pen down its unsolicited grandeur into one of his eloquent poetic tragedies.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Jamshedpur Womens College (Affiliated to Kolhan University), language: English, abstract: Fatalism plays a crucial role in the working of Synge's "e;Riders To The Sea"e; and is scrutinized so as to determine the extent to which it precipitates into a tragedy. In this connection, the faiths, beliefs and aspirations of man are taken into account, which necessarily guide a man towards his fortune. The fragile innocent human is studied meticulously from the gigantic vision of mystic fate. The nature of the characters concerned and their idiosyncrasies have been laid out to depict humankind in general. The concept of free will has been elaborated upon. Also, the feasibility of existentialism has been closely analysed for a proper assessment of the play.
