                                                The Birthday Party" by Harold Pinter is able to create tension in readers mind. The play is under the category of  'Absurd Theatre'. Though various interpretations are possible of the play like..Allegorical play, Existentialism, Artist in Exile and political aspects of the play. I like most political aspect of the play. No doubt Existential anxiety remains throughout the play because we don't know  Who are the two men ? Where did Stanley come   from? The same way we also don't know who we are ? From where we come?  After reading the historical context of the play " The Birthday Party " really it is very interesting to study as political play. Stanley as developing small country. Net Goldberg as  USA and Dermont McCann as England. Through these we come across the real condition of ...

                                                         'The Waste Land' is the masterpiece of T.S.Eliot. Eliot describes rotten state of human life in 20th century. The waste Land is the land where is nothing can be grown. The waste land is the Land of fertile, fruitless, and hollowness of human Beings in Modern age.                                                               As we all know that the poem ' Modern Epic ' divided into five parts. Each part is  juxtaposes fragments of various aspects and it is just like episodic events which seems like 'Story within Story.' As per my understanding, I try to give answers of questions which is mentioned here...

'Waiting For Godot'                                          - Samuel Backett   'Waiting' is too much  irritating for anybody. We  all are waiting for our ultimate truth and that  is the Death only. We all are doing  something so that we  can pass the time and reach our final destination which is already decided. But we can't accept it easily. 'Waiting For Godot' is a poignant play about a ceaseless waiting, about repetition, the meaninglessness , the absurdity of waiting .  Samuel Beckett  gives the philosophy of life using absurdity  in this play. Ordinary reader  can't understand the meaning , the real depth of this play only very few are able to understand what Beckett tries to say in this play. 1. Writer Samuel Beckett inspired from the painting ‘Longing’ which is drawn by Casper David Friedrich. In th...

 On the base our classroom discussion I try to give my answers of the questions of the novel " To The Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf.                                                                    How can you explain that 'what' Virginia Woolf wanted to say (for example, the complexity of human relationship, the everyday battles that people are at in their relationship with near and dear ones, the struggle of a female artist against the values of middle/upper class society etc) can only be said in the way she has said? (Key: The 'How' of the narrative technique is to be discussed along with features of Stream of Consciousness technique which helps Woolf to put in effective manner what she experienced in abstractions.)            As we know that novel deals with the co...

“Language speaks us rather we  speak language”      Structuralism is a method of interpretation and analysis of every aspect of human  behavior  and culture. In literature, we have also the method of Structuralism to interpret the text with various perspectives. Structuralists say that there is no meaning of particular word because  meaning comes only through the context.      There are many structuralist critics like… Ferdinand Saussure , Gerald Garnette,  Claude –Levi –Strauss ,Roland Barthea etc…     We find basic common structure in every work. And literary work has also common structure like… Beginning , Climax and End .. To understand structuralism , we must understand the three word .....   Sign, Signifier, and Signified. Sign – Sound, word signifier – through sign meaning comes & image pop up in mind Signified – Something already there. Signifier stands for. ...

          “ Have you ever noticed your every-day life style?”           In this modern age, our everyday life-style becomes Hybrid life-style. Our ideas about culture and the way of living life is totally different .Everything has its own aspects and culture and now questions arise …..  What is Culture? What is everyday life style? Who has access to specific forms of culture in our everyday life? What are the legitimate forms of culture acceptable in everyday life?           ‘ Culture’  is umbrella term. We  can’t define Culture  with crystal clear idea . In short, we may say that Culture means…. What we have and Civilization means…. What we are.           Each day we use all materials things which is not existed in our culture. Without using all tho...

                                                                           When we two are parted                                                 Lord Byron When we two parted In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted, To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this. The dew of the morning Sank chill on my brow It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. Thy vows are all broken, And light is thy fame: I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame...
