View on Matthew Arnold's criticism

Q1:write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you find interesting and relevant in our time. The idea of detachment and disinterestedness, I agree with Arnold's idea. In his study of criticism his idea of criticism appeal to us strongly. In the definition of poetry he says ' poetry is interpretative by having natural magic in it  and moral profundity'. In present time this effect us . An idea of criticism he interested in the standard and his concern over the relation between poetry.  Arnold says that disinterestedness is significant for nature with judgment od detachment . He says that bt this one can judge it very clearly. Q2:write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you find out of date on irrelevant in our times. Method of Touchstone Arnold also irrelevant in present time. In this idea he compare it with Homer's work and with Helen's words .

View on Wordsworth's preface

1) Basic difference between poetic creed of classicism and Romanticism. - claasical  believes in intellectual while romanticist believes in imagination - romanticist believes that nature was powerful and constantly changing. Classicism believe  that nature was a self contained machine like a watch . - classicists believes in the world as having rigid and stern structure. While romanticist believes that world aa a place to express their  ideas and believe and imagination. 2)why does Wordsworth says What is poet rather than who is poet? Poet is a men speaking to man, he has sensibility more than enthusiasm and tenderness. Poet has great knowledge of human nature. He has more comprehensive soul.so Wordsworth says  that what is poet. 3)what is poetic diction? Which sort of poetic diction suggested by Wordsworth in his preface. In Wordsworth's preface he gives his view on poetic diction. He use humble and rustic life as a subject matter of poetry. He wants to use that

Banned peheredar piya ki

Image
Respect sir, The serial peheredar piya ki is shown on sony Tv. I am totally against it because this serial shows child's marriage which is banned by Indian Government. Also from ancient time to modern time tv serials and movies show this point  but my opinion is almost against it. In this serial 19 year old girl married with 9 year old boy. She married with him only on to protect him but for this reason, to marry with that person it is not appropriate. So I am in the favour of to banned it because this leather our society towards banned custom. This serial leave bad image in 21st centuries childrens mind . In modern time people are now educated so they also  rise their voice  against it.  Thank you.

For example one can see that he threw his life away for the sake of knowledge becoming obsessed with the knowledge that he could possess. In  This case he is unarguably a medieval tragic hero. What is possible in spite of obvious limitations and eventually paying the ultimate penalty he could be considered Renaissance martyr. This play commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus is an Elizabethan tragedy by  Marlowe . It is based on German stories about the title character Faust that was first performed sometime between 1588 and Marlowe 's death in 1593. About the author: Christopher Marlowe wa

Review on Dryden's essay

1. Do you think any difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of play? Aristotle's definition of tragedy"Tragedy then is imitation of an action that..................  these and similar emotions." Dryden's definition of "just and lively image of human nature........for the delight and instructions of mankind " Here is the main difference in it that Dryden says that a play must present image of  human nature. While Aristotle says that it shows pity and fear and also an  imitation of an action.so in that way main different about humans reaction and expression when he watches tragedy or play. 2. If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you on the side of the ancient or modern? I would like to be on the side of the ancient because at that time three unites were presented good and well. Crites also defending the ancient and said that " in all things " and offered nothing really

Biographia literaria  written by  S.T. Coleridge. He shows the difference between poem , prose and poetry in his this work. He briefly describe the difference between it.  1. Write in your words the difference between poem and prose. Poem and prose both are different part of literature. Prose means,"written or spoken  language in its ordinary form without metrical structure" Poem means,"written in the format of rhythm and rhymes also has some imagination."  I notice one point that if one person create his own creation he inculcate his feeling in it and I think it is called poem. There are difference between poem and prose:-  1. In prose  the language if it's writing format is not much decorated.while in poem the language of written format is rythematic and decorated also metrical. 2.when we read poem we felt some aesthetic delight and it's given pleasure.other side prose it is not given any kind of pleasure. 3.

Post viewing task -HAMLET

1.The play  Hamlet written by William Shakespeare. The movie "Hamlet"produced by sir Kenneth Branagh is totally faithful to the play. The reason behind it , that the dialogues , characters action, all acts and scene all the  things  were same in the movie . Not anything changed by Branagh. Branagh also tired  to be faithful for the movie. Also he had played his roke of Hamlet in movie. He also tried to give perfection to his movie as like original play. 2.yes my perception was changed about   the play's characters or situations that  I felt some over changes in the character of Ophelia in the movie because,  while reading  the play i felt that Ophelia was very gentle lady and also faithful to her father,brother and her love also. But when watched the movie l realize that how she defraud her love only because of her father's order. 3. No l can't feel aesthetic delight while watching  movie because in the movie Branagh present all the things and situations are

Though I  learnt one lesson by Digdarshak that
