The Frankenstein

• What are some major differences between movie and the novel Frankenstein  

             Mr. Branagh has said that he intended to make "less a horror film than a larger-than-life Gothic fairy tale." So his "Frankenstein" achieves a quieter version of Ken Russell's pop grandiosity, with little Victor Frankenstein growing up in a house that pointedly resembles a stage set. Victor's story is told in flashback, beginning in the movie-studio version of an Arctic wasteland, where the adult, ruined Victor (Mr. Branagh) tells his life story to a ship's captain (Aidan Quinn). Lets discusses the differences between movie and the Novel ;

1)In the book Henry and victor are childhood friend ; Victor initially goes to Ingolstadt alone, but Henry joins him. there after several year. but in the movie Victor meets at Ingolstadt.

2) In the movie Victor's mother dies while giving the birth, when in the book Victor's mother dies from Scarlet fever.

3)In the book, Victor had another brother where in the movie Victor is Two brother one is himself and second is the William.

4) The Monster saves a young girls in the books, not present in the film.

• Did this movie help you in understanding the plot of the novel?

             yes

• Who do you think is real monster?

  According to me, Society and Victor is the real Monster. because when monster was hungry, he went to the market  and he saw the piece of meats. people things that he was a larceny and after they beat the monster when he did not injured them. and sent him as far as them. they did not accept them because it is ugly but I thinks that how many of people is too ugly  in the society. and also now a day people has doing plastic surgery, and also we find some accidental case they also became a ugly. why people have accept this type of people and why The monster not. second thing is that some one says that Victor escape from his responsibility but i think he did not because when He was ill and awake up from his bed first of all he asked his friend about to the situation of outside and the Henry told that there were fatal virus, and people have died. so Victor thinks that The monster also died. thus according to me the real Monster is Society. 

• From Where Mary Shelley get the idea for the novel Frankenstein ?

             Mary Shelley was traveled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place and the topic of galvanism. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamy about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the novel's story.

• Do you think the search for the knowledge is dangerous and destructive?

                  No, it does not matter, because the knowledge is the Golden key of the life and without the key we can not solve the problems of life. of course uneducated people also live a life but I think educated person lives life better then other. and of course some people says that knowledge is dangerous and destructive. of course we learnt the Dr. Faustus, and also nowadays we are learning the Frankenstein. if it is true so the Plato, Aristotle, Socrates etc has a good knowledge so some this knowledge will have became a dangerous! and so nowadays we finds a lot of engineer, doctor and scientist everyday searching and making and doing experiment. I think people has learning from experience and experience is teacher of human beings. so according to me the search for knowledge is not Dangerous and destructive.

• What are some myths used by Mary Shelley in the Frankenstein?

There are three types of myths used in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein

1. Paradise lost 
2. Narcissism 
3. Myth of Prometheus

• Write about the narratology of the Frankenstein. 

In Frankenstein main novel created like box within box narration . First Walton narrates this to his sister , second Frankenstein narrates all the things to Walton and last Monster narrates all the novel. In this Shelley uses thematic search in the story for something deep dark and secret at the heart of the narrative. It is written in 1st person narrative but there are 3 1st person narrative.

T.S. Eliot' theory of Tradition and Individual Talant

T. S. Eliot's theory of Tradition ans Individual Talant.

              Thomas Stearns Eliot was a British essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets". In his work 'For Lancelot Andrews', He openly described himself as a 'Classicist in literature', 'Royalist in Politics', and 'Anglo Catholic in religion'. This declaration sets tge tone for his lifelong commitment to criticism. He wrote a very important essay, 'Tradition and the Individual Talant'. The term 'Tradition' is the key of this essay, it does not means 'a blind or timid adherence', but its means 'Its involves the historical sence, we may call indispensable to anyone who would continue to be a poet beyond his twenty fifth year, and the historical sense involve a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of it presence; The historical sense compels a man to write note merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of the literature of Europe from Homer, and within the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and compose a simultaneous order.

             Talking of 'historical sense', Eliot says, this historical sense, which is the sense of timeless and of the timeless and the temporal together, is what makes a writer traditional'. He uses 'historical sense' not in the usual sense. he wants to the critic to see literature, 'not as consercrated by time, but to see it beyond time; to see the best work of our time, and the best work of 25 years ago with the same eyes.' His view of traditional is negative in so far as it distrusts novelty or originality, or any kind a revolution or individualistic attempt, and it is positive in that in recommended that the poet should have a sense of history of poetry. It's this 'historical sense' which makes a writer traditional. 

    'Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.'

              The most valuable part of a work are those in which, 'the dead poets, his ancestors, assert their immortality most of vigorously'. Therefore, every new writer is to be judged by the standards which exit already in the past. every poet worth the name must be a shareholder of the past, and be knowledgeable about the current of literature.

               The poet must subordinate himself to this tradition, because it is more important than himself, and his personality as a poet. He rightly say that 'The progress of the artist is a continual self sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.'

                Eliot makes a distinction between art emotion, and life emotion which is transformed into art. Further Eliot criticize on poetry 's view on language, poetry should approximate to the spoken language, as it is spoken during the poet's lifetime. That is why he admires Dante's language which is a 'perfection of the comman language,' and Dryden's language 'which restored English verse to the condition of speech.' this does not, maintained that poet should use colloquialisms. He says, ' Good poetry is obviously something else besides good verse; and good verse may be very indifferent poetry.'

            Thus, Eliot's essay on Tradition and The Individual talant is not only critical note but also it's helpful to new poet, critic.

                       💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Question

1) How would you like to explain concept of tradition ? Do you agree with it ?
Yes, I am agree with Eliot's Concept of Tradition. Here Eliot uses the word of Tradition, it doesnot meaning of the blind or timid adhrence. The tradition means-the past-and the literary tradition means the work of writer and their writing style. According to Eliot, 'the poet or a writer should have to fit in Tradition rather than just imitation of tradition. He highlights the positive aspect of the tradition. Tradition is not only a mere imitation of the past. Every writer writes for the living audience. He connects the past; the tradition with his present time.

2) What do you understand by Historical sense?

"The historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence" 

     Above quotation is talk about the historical sense. Most of the poet writes base on historical sense, here Eliot said that its past ans past has not involve in present. If it is written in Historical and past sense its timeless and temporal because it already written by another. And also people have read. So the writer should written in present. the great works are still living in temporary time. The ideas of past still living in today's time. That is the thing which makes writer traditional.



3)What is the relationship between 'Tradition' and the 'Individual Talent ' according to the poet T.S. Eliot?

         Tradition comes from hard work, it was not a thing of inheritance. There required Individual talent of the poet or artist. He also speaks up on Shakespeare's talent i.e. he borrows materials from past in a different way and from that difference new Tradition was begin by breaking all the rules.

4) Explain: "Some can absorb knowledge, the more tardy must sweat for it. Shakespeare acquired more essential history from Plutarch than most men could from the whole British Museum".

            Here T. S. Eliot try to explain the terms of Tradition and the Individual talant. William wordsworths say that Poetry should be rastic language which is very close to nature and but his views on nature and another critics say that it should be written in more knowledgable, here Eliot gave some example that shakespeare was uneducated person who has not highly knowledge on writing but he read the Plutarch, but his thinking mind is wide. He gets knowledge from greek literature. Shakespeare's contemporary a lot of writer has not get fame, them works are in Museum. But Shakespeare seems to lived his age and absorbed knowledge.


5) Explain: "Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry"

           In this Quote Eliot puts his great emphasis on the work of art rather than on artist.the criticism of any work should be done upon the artist's art not upon artist. Or upon poetry not upon poet. Critc should have criticise the work with honesty, by staying aloof. He should not criticise the work by only reading the title of the work or writer's name. For the good judgement he should judge the only poetry not poet. The work of poet is more important.

6) How would you like to explain Eliot's theory of depersonalization? You can explain with the help of chemical reaction in presence of catalyst agent, Platinum.

      Chemical reaction for better understanding about creative writing process ,

So3+ H2o--->(Platinum)H2So4

        Here platinum is the medium through process happened and H2So4 came in existence, the same way in creative process Human mind need medium or content of feeling like suffering, pain, happiness etc., but as in chemical process at result we gets only sulphuric acid and absence of platinum a medium the same way should be in creative writing that writer's own reflection of feelings should not reflect in his/her works.

7) Explain: " Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality."


           William wordsworth gives the deffination of poetry that, "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility." But here Eliot opposite of wordsworth, above quotation through Eliot says that Poets must not be involve them emotion and feelings in poetry. Poetry should impersonal. If poet writes with aloofness then his work will get more success. Poet should be escape from personality.


8) Write two points on which one can write critique on 'T.S. Eliot as a critic'.

1) Eliot's views of Historical sense.
2) Eliot’s view of escape from emotion and escape from personality
These are the two points on which we can analyse T.S Eliot as a critic.

Matthew Arnold's View on Poetry

Question : Do you agree with Arnold's view on detachment, disinterestedness, fallacies lie historical and personal, Touchstone method and his definition  on poetry ? If you agree, why and on what grounds do you agree ? If you disagree, why and what are the point of disagreement?

         Matthew Arnold's vies that 'Disinterestedness on the part of the critic implies freedom from an prejudices. personal or Historical', it means poet should keep away he/she feeling, emotions, sympathy in your mind wee can not judge it detach- ly, partly like Historically and personally. whereas Plato and Aristotle have saw the work in historically and gives the rules and regulation. they say that he should follow all the regulation which are given by them for example 'Hamlet' by Shakespeare, lot of critics have given them opinion on it. but according to Romantic Literature, 'Poets are free from to ancients rule and regulation', he/she can write everything which he thinks, feels. thatsway Matthew Arnold came from the age of Victorian Age, and the Victorian Age, there were many changes we can see that the Industrial Revolution, nationalistic, social stress, spiritual conflict in at that time. thus Matthew Arnold has given his statement freely and his statement is true that we can  not detach the work on the views on Historically and also Personally. For example  the Contemporary television Serial "Pehredar Piya" and the Controversial Movie "Padmavati", The director has free to write on his own away ( views on Romantic Literature) but the p However the People want to ban it. (Because they view on Historically) If the people have saw it view on Arnold's statement that it is not the Controversial things. Thus Arnold's Statement is true that Disinterestedness on the part of the critic implies freedom from all prejudices, personal or historical.

"લખે છે બધા આનંદ ઉલ્લાસ માટે,

જોવાય છે એને ઐતિહાસીક રીતે,

વ્યક્તિગત ને ઐતિહાસિક શા માટે જોવાય છે ?,

એ તો છે માત્ર મોઝ મજા માટે..."

   The idea of Matthew Arnold which I find out date and irrelevant in our time that is his general principles was the Touchstone method. Which introduced by providing comparison and analysis as the two primary tools for judging individual poets. It means we can not give our interpretation and judgement to other works, because we can not compare their work with other work for example If we compare two things Suppose  we compare two mobile Redmi and apple I phone, both are same but it's process, it's ram and it's publicity and many other things are different. thus we can not judge both mobile with Touchstone method, because every one have a specialty as well as literature we can not give our interpretation and judgement to compare with other work, because we can no c every one have their own interpretation and views towards their work. so the idea of Touchstone method is irrelevant in our time.

Wordsworth's Preface

• Discuss 'Daffodils - I wandered lonely as a cloud' with reference to Wordsworth's poetic creed.

          Classicism and Romanticism are artistic movements that have influenced the literature, visual art, music, and architecture of the Western world over many centuries. With its origins in the ancient Greek and Roman societies, Classicism defines beauty as that which demonstrates balance and order. Difference between classicism and Romanticism is that is a word that has carried so many different meanings at different times that no single meaning can any longer be said it should be used with discretion in common sense the word classicism is applied to the literary trend which requires at least some of these characteristic in creative writing; balance, unity, proportion and noble simplicity it implies self-knowledge self-control and sense of reality One of the basic romanticism is the belief in the primary goodness of man it is maintained under this belief that man in “state of nature” would behave decently .a belief closely connected to natural goodness is that of the perfectibility of man .so that romanticism concentrate upon the sublime and the wonderful, that which goes beyond mundane.

• Do You agree with Wordsworth's poetic Creed?

           Yes, I'm agree with Wordsworth's Poetic creed, because you are writing a poetry for everyone. If your language of poetry is not understandable to all than it is not good thing. Or we can say that the language of poetry should be easy ,so common man can also understand. The main thing is, poetry should give delight to common man also, whether it's following the rules of poetry or not. 

• 'What' is poet? 

         Wordsworth said that "Poet is a man who speaking to man, endued with more lively sensible who has greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind" So by this definition of Wordsworth on Poet, We can say that Poet is a different man , who has greater knowledge of human nature, he can think better than common man. 

• What is poetic diction? Which sort of poetic diction is suggested by Wordsworth in his Preface?

       Poetic diction means 'Choice of Word'- unique style of authors that he or she chooses his or her own language, which is understood by rustic people; who closure to reality and more genuineness the language should be natural not ornamental. Wordsworth's argument is that he is interested in writing poems in lyrical ballads. And the language "as really used by men". Wordsworth also answers to Coleridge that he finds humble and rustic life, a men who closer to reality or more genuineness. Wordsworth preferred rustic men rather than city dwells.

• What is poetry?

"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

          In this definition of poetry there are two apparent contradictions. The "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" on one side and "emotion recollected in tranquility" on the other side are apparently two contradictory statements. "Spontaneous overflow" must be immediate and unrestricted without any interval of time between feeling and its expression. The expression "recollected in tranquility" would suggest intervention of time between feeling and its expression. "Recollection" means remembering some impression after some lapse of time. Wordsworth himself has tried to reconcile this apparent contradiction in his further elucidation of his definition. Immediate impression has a blending of both important and unimportant impressions. When they are allowed to rest for sometime, only the important impressions remain in the memory, and the unimportant ones wash away. The poet would then express those powerful impressions spontaneously with ease and felicity without any imposition of restriction in point of language or poetic diction. The poet's expression of those powerful feelings must be easy, smooth and natural.

• Discuss 'Daffodils - I wandered lonely as a cloud' with reference to Wordsworth's poetic creed.

          Daffodils is the most famous example of Wordsworth's definition of poetry. The poem has four stanzas. The first three stanzas are written in past tense " I wandered as a cloud.....", but the final stanza of the poem is written in present tense " For oft, when on my couch I lie......" The poet reclining on a couch , when he goes to a nature walk he must seen the stretch of Daffodils, which he recollects when he is in a vacant mood. In this way the definition of poetry we find appropriate in Daffodils by Wordsworth.

Dryden's essay on Drametic Poesy

1) Do you find any difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of play?

Yes there is huge difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of the play. Aristotle gives the definition in a very conservative manner. he says that "tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious and also having magnitude complete in itself...." and he ended his definition with the word 'catharsis'. Whereas Dryden gives the definition of the play in a wider sense. he added two new words in the definition that is just and live. He says that a play must represent just and lively image of human nature. And he ended his definition with the word 'delight'. he added that onlookers will feel good if we ended our play with delight and instruction of mankind. In this way Dryden moves further from Aristotle's ways of thinking and thus differentiate his work of art.

2) If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you be on the side of the Ancient or the Modern? Please give reasons.

f I suppose to give my personal predilection, I would like to be on the side of modern, because ancients have followed the rules and disciplines, and moderns have not only followed or imitated them but also have given something new with the help of new inventions in that era like in science and changes in the social world. Ancient used to write in different kind of boundaries like unities and as per the Greek tradition some scenes were not allowed to perform on stage. So the freedom of action is not there.

3)Do you think that the arguments presented in favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate?

I think arguments are presented in the favour of English plays. The plots of French plays are barren while English ones are copious to further the same action. The English plays have numbers of plots with the main plot and audience is important because of that in English plays, there are all types of themes.

4) What would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogues are concerned in the play? 

I would like to go with poetic dialogues in the play. There are two critics who argued in terms of rhymes and blank verse. Crites favors blank verse style of writing whereas Neander favors rhyme. Crites says that rhyme makes the play unnatural, if someone use rhymes then the naturality of dialogues goes out. But what Neander says that if we choose appropriate word at appropriate place, then there is no point of unnaturality. Same thing what I feel that to use rhyme makes the play more beautiful and live. It affects the reader's soul if we used appropriate rhyme. So the poetic dialogues are more capable to make readers active and live than the prosaic dialogues which sometimes bored a lot. 

Aristotle's Poetic

1) How far do you agree with Plato’s objection to freedom of expression and artistic liberty enjoyed by creative writers? Name the texts (novels, plays, poems, movies, TV soaps etc which can be rightfully objected and banned with reference to Plato’s objections)

Yes, I'm agree with Plato. We know that some tv soaps are totally weird and idiotic, by seeing that type of tv soaps we must think that plato's objection is really true. Some types of immoral acts should be totally banned. Plato in his book The republic says that poets misguide people and they provoke evil ideas in people' s mind. Hence they should be banished from the ideal state. I would like to give some examples, most of the children like to watch 'Cartoon'. I have found some T.V serial which are totally immoral. Like 'Doremon', after watching the Doremon Children become slothful. Because Nobita (character) is lazy boy, who everytime playing a game and he does not interest in study and Doremon everytime Help him with his non sence gadget. Thus, childern attract them and became a slothful to them study. 

2) With reference to the literary texts you have studied during B.A. programme, write brief note on the texts which followed Aristotelian literary tradition (i.e. his concept of tragedy, catharsis, tragic hero with hamartia etc)

I was studied one tragedy of Shakespeare that was 'Hamlet'. In that tragedy Shakespeare use and follow Aristotelian tragedy. In that the hero was follow rules and regulation of Aristotelian tragedy which is given by Aristotle. In that protagonist of the play is full of Hamartia that Hamlet not decide to right time on right place and not a hero of action that way Shakespeare use Aristotelian tragedy.

3) With reference to the literary texts you have studies during B.A. programme, write brief note on the texts which did NOT follow Aristotelian literary tradition. (i.e. his concept of tragedy, catharsis, tragic hero with hamartia etc.)

I was also studied one play during my B.A. that was Measure For Measure there was Shakespeare not followed Aristotelian tragedy in that protagonists have no any kind of Hamartia and there was a tragedy but not full of tragedy. That way in this play protagonists not in catharsis also. That way in this play Shakespeare not followed Aristotelian tragedy.

4) Have you studied any tragedies during B.A. programme? Who was/were the tragic protagonist/s in those tragedies? What was their ‘hamartia’?

I was studied 'Hamlet' in that protagonists of the play is Hamlet. Hamlet's Hamartia is that he was not man of action. He always in dilemma that what he do next. And he also think over that " To be or not To be that's the question." that way his Hamartia we can find. His one weakness is moral weakness. That way in that play I was find Hamartia in the protagonists of the play.

5) Did the ‘Plot’ of those tragedies follow necessary rules and regulations proposed by Aristotle? (Like chain of cause and effect, principle of probability and necessity, harmonious arrangement of incidents, complete, certain magnitude, unity of action etc)

 In the tragedy of Samson Antagonists there were writer express and follow all features which is given by Aristotle.There was a complete plot,action,all the thing.That way I was found feature of Aristotelian tragedy.

Dr. Faustus

1) The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?

In the end of the play, we saw Lucifer with wide wings that shows his power which he got from a soul of a dead Faustus who has lived a sinful life and sold his soul to Luyes there is god in the play. 'We only need the light when it is burning low & we only miss the sun when it starts to snow. 'The same way here Dr. Faustus didn't need any God or heavenly power because he has a power of his knowledge and slowly he fall and in last scene of play when Dr. Faustus repeanting there we can prove that there is indirectly god is present in the play in the mind of Dr. Faustus.cifer. It suggests that Lucifer got power from the souls of dead persons.

2) Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why?

yes there is god in the play. 'We only need the light when it is burning low & we only miss the sun when it starts to snow. 'The same way here Dr. Faustus didn't need any God or heavenly power because he has a power of his knowledge and slowly he fall and in last scene of play when Dr. Faustus repeanting there we can prove that there is indirectly god is present in the play in the mind of Dr. Faustus.

3) What reading and interpretation can be given to this image (see the image of Daedalus and Icarus) with reference to central theme of the play Dr. Faustus?

           This image is of the myth of Icarus , we can also use it as reference to Dr. Faustus. This myth gives us the picture of consequences of disobeying the God a or laws of Nature . Both, Icarus and Faustus wanted to go beyond the limits of Nature or God. Icarus wanted to fly high and because of it he becomes cause of his own downfall. Similarly, Faustus wanted to be Demi- God and to gain more knowledge by using necromancy. God try to stop him in different ways as in the end old man said " O gentle Faustus ,leave this damned art, offers to pour the same into thy soul, then call for mercy ,and avoid despair" so , we can say that getting knowledge is good but by wrong way ,its may be cause your downfall. 

Yugpurush

Yugpurush- Mahatma ka mahatma

August 4,2017 

Today we was going to see the live play Mahatma ka Mahatma at Yashwant rai Natya Gruh, Bhavnagar.

Yugpurush is the play about the nation father Mahatma Gandhi's Life. This play is talk about where Gandhi inspired to doing SatyaGrah. We know what is importance of guru (teacher) in our life. I remind our Quotes,

"गुरु गोविन्द दोऊ खड़े काको लागूं पायं।

बलिहारी गुरु आपने जिन गोविन्द दियो बताय।।"

               Guru is our deity. If guru wants, he/she will change our life. Guru is our destiny. We can see that Gandhi also a guru Jain philosopher Shrimad Rajchandraji. And he changed Gandhiji's life.

The Father of the Indian Nation, Mahatma Gandhi is synonymous with ahimsa and satyagraha. One wonders who the Mahatma's inspiration was. Gandhiji placed Shrimad Rajchandraji as foremost among those he considered to be his guides. Shrimadji's direct interaction with Gandhiji and His letters, both played a pivotal role in shaping Gandhiji's character and kindled in him the novel idea of using ahimsa to attain independence.

The Yugpurush is a heart-touching portrayal of this special bond between Shrimadji and Gandhiji that catapulted him from 'Mohandas' to 'Mahatma'. What began as friendship, progressed to Gandhiji's proclamation of Shrimadji as his spiritual mentor.

Hamlet

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright who is considered one of the greatest writers to ever use the English language. He is also the most famous playwright in the world, with his plays being translated in over 50 languages and performed across the globe for audiences of all ages. His works span tragedy, comedy, and historical works, both in poetry and prose. And although the man is the most-recognized playwright in the world, very little of his life is actually known. No known autobiographical letters or diaries have survived to modern day, and with no surviving descendants, Shakespeare is a figure both of magnificent genius and mystery. This has led to many interpretations of his life and works, creating a legend out of the commoner from Stratford-upon-Avon who rose to prominence and in the process wrote many of the seminal works that provide the foundation for the current English language. His notable work is

“Hamlet”
“The Taming of the Shrew”
“Henry IV, Part 1”
“The Merry Wives of Windsor”
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
“Richard III”
First Folio
“Macbeth”
“King John”
“The Merchant of Venice”etc.

Hamlet is the world famous revenge play. Most of film industries try to making film plot of a Hamlet. Kenneth Branagh is a director, who tried to make film as well as hamlet its full based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

• The movie is faithful in terms of the soliloquy and the dialogues spoken by the characters in the play. The main incidents like the madness of Ophelia, grave digging scene etc are very well shown in the film as similar to the way it is described in the original play, But there are many things in the movie which is different from the original play in terms of costumes, customs. Even in the film hamlet is portrayed as too old than the real Prince Hamlet in the play who is very young. there are many changes made in this film. The presence of ghost is shown by the movement of the sword of the statue whereas in the play the text is unable to show it dramatic movement.Even the falling of the statue at the end is also indicates a big change. So after watching the film my perception about the play, character and the situation is totally changed.
• In the film the players came to enact on stage as per the instructions and some dialogues given by Hamlet.When they are performing the incident which relates to the life of Claudius, Gertrude and King Hamlet, both the husband and wife that is Claudius and Gertrude became fearful and Claudius leaves that place immediately.
• Yes, I feel catharsis in the film when Ophelia gone mad. and the scene of Grave yard, hamlet saw Yoric's skull.

• Yes the screening of the movie helps me a lot in better understanding of the play. because there were many character i understood to his relationship to another like Fortinbras, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern.

Paheredar Piya ki

I am support this Serial.

Pehredaar Piya Ki” serial is created by Shashi.  Peheredaar piya ki’ Title suggest that pehredaar means protector and we can also found in this serial  that  Diya marries to Ratan for the sack of his protection The serial  Pehredaar Piya Ki on Sony TV shows a 10 year boy married to a woman. who is much older to him.

  This show is more controversial in the society because of its story. Storyline of this serial is that the 19 year young girl marry with 9 year little boy after his parents death for protect him towards his own evil family member. And also in this serial child marriage happened but they are not promoting it. society doesn't accept this kind of Marriage but media show this kinds of things and Many people request to ban this serial because of theme of child marriage but it is not first time came these kind of serial but many time came to in show for example " Gulal" , " Balika Vadhu". 

 So we can't say that it is a good serial or bad because its our entertainment. The Serial and Movies are making for our enjoyment. Of course it should be moral and effective. But some stories like 'Paheredar Piya ki', 'Balika vadhu', 'Kumkum Bhagya' etc making for entertainment and also a Ridiculous custom of Social, our culture. If the director has seen this type of scene in his/her serial, they indicate that this type of man and woman, how to face his/her situation. We can not tumble to it misguide us.

S.T. Coleridge

1. Difference between prose & poem.

There are some common things between poem and prose. say for i.e, Language first of all, then pleasure, delight, catharsis and other feelings like that. All the things which can be narrated in poem, it also can be expressed well in prose writing.
Bht how and where it differs is thus -
In comparison with poem, prose have limited addition of meanings whereas poem can be meant in thousands of ways. It is the charm of poetry. There might be less words than prose but it can be interpreted in so many ways.
Now if we glimpse over on Coleridge's statement,then we can say that why prose has elements of truth & poem has pleasure.because as we see above that prose has simple structure containing particular subject matter & that only has aimed to be strict to the truth,while poem has sentimental & emotional journey of poet with full expressions & decorations that should have the aim of delight or please to others only.

2.Difference between poetry and poems:
poem;
A poem is the arrangements of words that contain meaning and musical elements. It is a piece of writing that expresses the writer’s thought and feelings in order to set a mood; it can be happy or sad simple or complex. In just a few words, a poem can say a lot, it can be happy or sad , simple or complex. A poem can either be rhyming or non-rhyming. It uses symbols and has lines and stanzas that have sentences, fragments of sentences or both. It uses metaphor and alliteration, especially in poems for children.

Both poetry and prose are generally creative in nature and are used to express emotion or to tell a story. Although poetry is more structured in terms of the format in which it is written, prose is generally more rigid in terms of grammatical correctness. Prose is typically comprised of complete sentences which convey specific thoughts or feelings. Poetry is often more abstract or vague with words being written as they come and less attention being given to proper grammatical rules.

Post truth

We know the definition of Post Truth very well.

According to Oxford Dictionary that
"Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.

‘in this era of post-truth politics, it's easy to cherry-pick data and come to whatever conclusion you desire'."

It means  the truth has broken by media and another social media like facebook, twitter,whats app,Instagram etc, that the truth has saw as very Pepperded, and the conclusion has desired by whatever they want. Nd some of critic has believed that this era also a 'Post Truth Political Era'.

I would like to give some political examples like a 'Achhe din'.
We know Modiji will have been completed his 5 year as a PM. And we also know that whatever he done and doing and will be do. And we also know he has done work, which is impossible to another government. We can see that our social media network has propagated that Making a image, and also know the 'Vikas'. They make a jokes, commentary to fight with each other. Like a Congress and Bhajapa, Aam aadmi party and another parties.

I would like tell that one news conference I must that is name 'Aapki adalat' which is organised by Rajat Sharma. I seen this conference, Rajat Sharma has given some example Congress party and Bhajapa's party. Here we can see that nowadays Bhajapa Government has ruler so that Rajat Sharma and another News reporter has spoken with Bhajapa. Whenever government will change, they change.

I would like to share here Rajat sharma's These conference link.

I would like to give some more example about post truth. We are habitually watching T.V serial and  film. Here we can see that most of the directer has started old concept story like 'Mahabharat', 'Gita' and other story. Here we can see that the director has changed and make a new story & serial and they conclude as they wants.
