The faerie queen is an english Epic poem by Edmund spenser.This is very remarkable work of spenser.books 1 and 2  were first published in 1590,than republished in 1596 together with books 3 and 4.This poem is the longest poem in English language.this is also work in which spenser invented the verse from known as the spensrian stanza.In spenser's "Letter of the authours,"he states that the entire epic poem. The poem was a clear effort to gain court favour,and as a reward Elizabeth granted spenser a pension for life amounting to year.

Summary of poem:-

Book 1- it is centered on the virtue of holiness as embodied in the Redcrosse knight.this book can be understood to be its own miniature epic.

Book 2-

It is centered on the virtue of temperance as embodied in sir guoyn,who is tempted by the fleeing Archimago into neeraly attacking the Redcrosse knight.

Book 3 -

This book is centered on the virtue of chasity-as embodied in britmore.a lady knight.

This despite its title'The legend of csmbell and telemore or friendship. But that not poem is about friendship.The two men appear only briefly in story.

Book 5-

This book is centered on the virtue of justice as embolied in sir Artegall.

Book 6-

Its center on the virtue of  courtesy as emboliedin in sir colidore.

Let's we talk about theme which spenser used in this poem:-

1)Allagory of virtue:-

                                   In this poem poet also describe the allagorical presentation of virtue through Arthurian knights in the mythical " faerieland".In that we see the six virtues Holiness,Temperance,chasity,Friendship, Justice and courtesy. And the faerie queen herself represents Glory.this unfinished seventh book appers to have represented the virtue of "constancy".

2)Religion:-

This poem is wrriten during the reformation, a time of religious and controversy. Spenser also includes the controversy of Elizabethan church reform within the epic. Spenser also endows many of his villen with " The worst of what protestant considerd on depective  images.

3) politics:-

The faerie Queene suggests that the Tudor lineage can be connected to king arthur.This poem is deeply allogrical and allusive; many prominent elixabethans could have found themselves partially represented by one more of spenser's figure .

                     The poem also displays Spenser's  through familiarity with literary history. The word faerie Queene is based on English Arthurian legend, but much of the language, spirit, and style of the piece draw more on italian epic.

4)Archetypes:-

                         Some literary works sacrifice historical context to archetypal myth, reducing poetry to biblical quests. Throughout the Faerie Queene, Spenser does not concentrate on a pattern to focus the meaning of the past on the presents. Within the this poem Spenser blurs the distinction between archetypal and historical elements delibarately.For example, Spenser does not believe in the complete  truth of the british chronical,which Arthur reads in the house of alma.

5)Symbolism and allusion:-

                            Throughout this poem spenser creates "a network of allusions to events,issues,and particular persons in England and Irland".It is also known that james vi of scotland read the poem, and it was very insulted by duessa.The faerie Queene's original audience would have been able to identity many of the poem's character by anylizing the symbols  and attribute that spot spenser's text.For example,readers would immidiatly know that " a woman who weares scarlet clothes and resides along the tiber river presents the roman cathelic  church.

Conclusion:-

                In nutshell we say that This is  a Renaissance, English epic poem. It is the first poem ever written in the form known  as the spensrian sonnet. The poen consist six books and every books are wonderful.

The Elephant vanishes is the story of an elderly zoo elephant who mysteriously vanishes after being taken by a suburuan japanese community when the town's zoo close, as well as this event's lasting effects on the story's narrator.Elephant was very badly ignored by communities.They avoid this animal.if there is other little animal would be there than they killed it but its elephant so they don't take risk. They called meeting of town people.Than decided elephanta and his keeper stay in zoo.

                       The story is written in first narration. Narrator was like animals more.this story start with his introducion. He is the first person who will become eye witness if disappearing the elephant and keeper and he tries to covey everyone that he was victim of the event but no one can believe him.In fact,his girlfriend also not believe in his this absurd talk.

                 In the beginning,we met the narrator. He read the newapaper and find that the elephant and keeper have vanished from the elephant house.than narrator realized that he was last victim too see the elephant last time. Narrator saw that that night in elephant house elephant and its keeper became small and an unexpectedly they disappear.But he know that in his this talk nobody can believe.In news all the papers they published that they vanished.

                    Once narrator met his friend and he talk with her about this incident but his friend not to believe and not interested in this.and after they not meet again.Although everyone  else seems to have easily forgotten about the case,the narrator feels that his own perception can no longer be trusted. A sense of chaotic imbalance has distupted the natural orders and overtake his rules in the wake of the elephant who vanished.

Analysis of the story:-

This story based on idea about narrator's own feeling.It consist very significant thought about human being  and nature.Murakami says about existence of animall which are not able to this time.in this time we harm nature and animal.He used metaphor in this story.Narrator describe how narrator's life was imbalance.

                             This  story reflect  our morden life style.If we talk about this time we suffering from natural cricis,its happened because we harm to nature and animal.

                      In story its strang that a big animal disappear.But in critical way we see that point so Murakami talk that our now situation. In this time animals also disappear and killed by humans.We also harm them any others way.our extra use of science and technology create so many pollution.Human tries to order harm the nature chain.

                          This story is very interesting. And it's very moral story. This story says that how we save the nature . 

Conclusion:-

                     In nutshell,we can say that its very significant story.Author also used metaphor and criticize this story about our behavior towards the animal and nature.

Theory of postcolonialism by Bill Ashcroft :-

Heloo guys..

Yesterday we had a wonderful opportunity to listen a famous prof.Bill ashcroft.He is an Emertius professor in the school of English,media and performing Arts.He founding exponent of post-colonial theory.

Here we start  first what pro.Ashcroft told us yesterday about postcolonialism.Before starting I shall clear the concept of colonialism.

Colonialism:-

The definition of Colonialism is the act of one nation controlling another for economic gain.

An example of colonialism was England's control over india...A colonial linguistic expressions.Term or expression of colonial origin entered in language.

this picture represented the colonialism in that time.

Let's we discuss about postcolonialism:-

Yesterday we see that sir was very deeply discuss about this very important and wide subject.so let's explain it.

What is postcolonialism?

Its had very interesting journey since 1989,when the rich back was published.doesn't simply  refer to 19th century.British imperialism it help has models.

The term was first used in 1956 in a wider post colonial context by Jacqutes stephen alexis. It was in an attempt to recounil the argument of post war, medical intellectual in favour of social realism is a tool for revolutionary social representation.

It is the historical period or state of affairs representing aftermath of wasten colonialism.the term can be also used to describe concurrept project to reclaim and rethink the history and agency of people subordinated under various from of imperialism.

We see some characteristics of postcolonialism:- 

1)Decolonization

2)commonwealth literature

 3)postconolial feminism 

4)Racism

5)Orientalism

6)Hybridity

1) Decolonization:-

Decolonization was a period that colonial powers have been completely withdrawn from the exploited lands and they stop the colony in action.ashcroft also indicates that Decolonization is the propose that defines the selection of cultural and industialt traces from the imperialist power.

2)commonwealth literature:-

In general commonwealth literature is a vague term which defines English-language works written in the form of british colonies or place which had the stauts of domination.its also can be said that colonial literature.

In short that time we have literature but its not our particular literature. When british people try to connect with us but for our indian people its not easy and understand english language that time.so they opened english schools and also put english language as subject.just because we understand and connecte with easily.

At this time they went but there giving a very important literature for us.we gain a very main role in english language and create our own way to learn.

3)postcolonial feminism:-

it is a form of feminism that developed as a response to feminism focusing.its not use only word 'woman' because its represented only gender not class,race,athnicity or any kind of sexual preference.feminism belief in full social,economic,and political equality for women.feminism largley arose in response to western traditions.british people gave a same stauts in all type like economy,social.And after colonialism we learn also same things.

4)Racism:-

  Racism is the belief that groups of humans posses different behavioral traits correspondencing to physical apperence and can be devided based on the superiority of one race one other.

Eg.:-In racism we see that they stop people anywhere who are non-white.all non-white people felt ambarace. Its call colour blindness.it various aspects of this term like..culture , color blindness,economic,institutional.

5)orientalism:-

orientalism is a way of seeing that imagines,Emphasis,exaggerated, and distrots differences of arab peoples and compared to that of europe and the U.S.

6)Hybridity:-

Hybridity is the mixture of two cultures,religion on races.it can be social,political,linguistic,religious,etc.it not a necessarily a peaceful mixtures.its important key used in postcolonialism.when british people left india we accept that culture and involved and mixed our culture in it. So we must awre with this term also.

Above are the some key of postcolonialism.

Critical view:-

If we look at this sight we find that seminal post-colonial writers such as nighrian author chinua achebe and kenyan author nuggui wa  thingo,o have written a number of stories recounting the suffering of colonized people.

'Heart of darkness' by joseph cornad is an effective critique of colonial behavior.But post colonial theorist and authors disagree with his perspective.this term deals with the literature of africa,asia and the caribbian by analyzing the interactions between culture and,customs,and history of indigenous peoples and of the colonial power that governs.

                                     Ashcroft sir consider as 'A group that is socially distinguished or set apart by others and by itself primaly on the basic of cultural or national characteristics.the researcher also has attempted to explore and highlight that the approating linguistic.

In my understanding of this term its great thing for us because british people left india but there is a various advantage we got it.

We say that if they not come that in time we not probably and puraly learn this English language. After they left india we find this term postcolonialism. Colonialism effect were so much even after independence many countries and culture continued suffer from its effects.colonialism's language.displaced regional and national language.

Conclusion:-

In summary we say that postcolonialism its a kind of term which not to easily understand but it's very interesting subject also.this term very useful to various area.Heart of Darkness is the best book to understand this term to deeply.

Thank u..

Heloo,

In this blog I will discuss about 'The plague' by Albert Camus which unknownly reflact the pandemic situation of covid -19.In this novel we find same situations of that time that we all are face in this time.

First of all I would like to give some basic information about writer.

                         -:Albert camus:-

 albert camus born on 7 november 1913.He got nobel prize at the age of 44 in 1957. His novels like;

1)The stranger

2)The plague

3)the rebel

That is his famous work.His main idea and theme in novels is absurdism.

He died in card accident on 4 january,1960 at the age of 46.

                       -:About novel:-

          Original form of this novel in french published in 1947. Original title of this poem is 'la paste'.This novel is decided into five parts.it's based on Cholera epidemic That broken out in the city of oran in 1849.

       -:Analysis and evolution of the novel:-

             We saw above that this based on plague epedmic.This reflect and related with our situation at that time.Camus write in this novel what he feel and what he gatherd information from witness of that time.its novel reflact that how people fight with that time.in novel we saw two type of people one was who fight with plague and one was to escape from this epidemic.

.                 See above picture 👆at this time covid-19 is the major and serious question for whole world.like plague covid -19 also opened eyes of people to wake up.there is lot's of similarities between that and this situation.

Let's evaluate the similarities:-

1)Humanity-human self-centerdness vs human sacrifice:-

                Humanity is the most important thing for human being.in this novel we see that plague broke out in oran.that in two type peoples in novel.we find character like Dr.Bernad rixue and other people who help people for recovery its best  reflection of humanity.And we also find characters like raymond rambert who want run away from this situation.

                And that we feel that in also our time same happened that some people fight against covid-19 and some are bastard people who not care for any kind of care and awareness about this fatal disease.

2)science vs religion:-

.             In this novel debet between Dr.Riexu and panelox expressing the conflict between science and religion.it's easily can be said that connection between faith and illness.panelox is learned well respected jeasuit priest.we see that major difference between both thinking.Dr.Riexu don't believe in god he also believe in only humanity and save only human lives make sure for his efforts.inside panelox he believe in god and says to people that as possible as they pray god.He is very practical man who believe that we never win in front of death.

             In that in world counting of that thousands of doctor become god for all human being.we fight against covid-19 but they don't care about thiers life.science is also help in this situation make to feel comfortable for us.

3)power politics-fascist forces of 1940s,surveillance society of 2020s

                  

.                  In this novel we see the important role of government.when we meet character joseph grand we feel that he lives such an austere life.He tells riexue that he married in his teen age and just because of his promise to his wife which he not complete so his wife left him.He tried to letter him but he failed. Than he joint to volunteers to help peoples.He caught by plague so he said Riexu  to abloished.at the end of novel he recover and feel healthy.

                       If we talk about this time government play a important role.our respected prime minister Narendra Modiji try his best to go out from this situation.we see that many rules he make for us just because of to save our lives.and we should support them.our economy stutus also down for this pandemic. But still we hope that we loss the corona.

 4)Role of doctors and volunteers:-

.                    In novel we see one character doctor rixue who not worry about his life.He only save people for plague.He was first victim of plague and describe this word.He warn authorities to take action that's it thosans of people died by this plague.

                      Whole world were worry about this critical situation.all people pray and desire to live.they make safety for own self.But there is thousand of people without worried about life and save the thousands of people life.thare is doctors and medical staff. They try thiers best to go out from this situation. 

                     -: Conclusion:-

                   In summary I say something that not a more different between plague time and this corona time.this novel beutifully depicted unknownly our situation.we try to aware about this.its a big message from nature.we usually harm it for our own way.And that's you can see that nature gave a big slap on our cheek.Because of corona we also suffering from various problems. Some have economy problems,some have migration problems etc.But that's time we safe in house.Nature teach one things use nature which you need.at that time situation are under control just because of science. And we also thankful fir god.so being human and save the nature.we have to keep fighting against corona.

Ecocritisicm by Devang Nanavati and sintashu yashchandra's poem:-

In the session of 'Ecocricism' by Devang Nanavati we got information about this wide subject.its very important thing for us.before this session I was not probably aware with this subject or word.In session I realise that it's very interesting and knowledgeable subject.And this is the subject that keeps us thinking.we also teach about sitanshu yashchandra's poem in this session. let's see:-

                            

                                -:Ecocritisicm:-

This word is short but it covers a lot.In the same manner we also call it Green studies.

                                   -:Definition:-

Cheryll gloflty's working definition in the Ecocritisicm reader is that 'Ecocritisicm is the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment'.Like this many authors and others are gave definition on there own way.william Rueckert may have been first person who used the term of Ecocritisicm in his essay entitled literature and Ecology.

                     we must understand that our existence is due to nature.if we harm nature ,our existence also damaged by nature.we sometimes forget that on earth except ours other creatures are also living. We understand all that things but some times we not to obey that things.

Sintashu yashchandra's poem 'tree once again' translated by Devang Nanavati:-

                      It's faboulas poem.it describes beutifully the term of Ecocritisicm. In this poem poet talk about a one tree which convert at that time in various furniture.poet describes all the little things which complels him to remember that tree.in this poem poet's imagery it's great because he sees flying bird in text,also see flower warm up in door.

                       This poem makes us to think that we doing wrong with nature.Nature which provides us to all things even oxygen also which most important thing for us damaged though.Not only tree even we harm to creatures also.In this time deforestation is big problem for us.we should not to stop it.But at the correct time if we not stop it, so it's bad thing for u.so save nature and save ourselves also.

                                    -:Conclusion:-

                          Nature is often seen by humans as natural resources. And things is not good.it is our priority to save nature.from another point of view,humans and nature can be said to be in conflict.so in short Ecocritisicm to  show one thing to us that nature is our soul supplier.
