Hello readers..
This is the Blog is the part of my thinking activity in classroom.in this I would like to cover some points which is given by our professor Dilip sir.
Northrop Frye was a Canadian literary critic and literary theorist, considered one of the most influential of 20th century. Northrop Frye developed a theory of literature based on myths and Archetypes.
Answers:-
1. What is Archetypal of Criticism? What does the Archetypal Critic do?
Ans. Archetype is a term of narrative design, symbol, character, dream, collective images, myths, ritual and universal thing are in literature. 'Archetype of criticism' means denotes recurrent narrative design and it may that to art into images and pattern of one another character and theme type of in literature. The Archetypal critic tries to find this pattern, symbol and myth in present literary work.
2.What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of ' Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'?
Northrop Frye has given a very unique idea of Archetypal Criticism by comparing the human emotions or human characteristics with the cycle of seasons.
Spring
The Spring season represents the Comedy. As the genre of comedy is characterized by the birth of hero,revival and resurrection. Spring also symbolizes the defeat of winter and darkness.
Summer
The season of summer indicates the Romance because summer is the culmination of life in the seasonal calendar, and the romance genre culminates with some sort of triumph,usually marriage.
Autumn
The Autumn season signify the genre of Tragedy. As the Autumn is the dying stage of the seasonal calendar. That's why the Autumn is parallels to the genre of tragedy, because the genre of tragedy is known for the fall or demise of the protagonist.
Winter
The season of winter denotes the satire genre because of its darkness. It is a disillusioned and mocking form of the three other genres.It is noted for its darkness,dissolution,the return of chaos and the defeat of heroic figure.
3.Share your views of Criticism as an organised body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.
Literature is the central division of the Humanities, flanked on one side by history and on the other side by philosophy.Here we can say that history and philosophy are twin pillars of literature.History represents the what was happen in past. Basically history is about past events and actions. While Philosophy is about morality and ethics of life.literature . Frye has used the word centrifugal which means to go away from literature and find background to understand literature.So for the batter understanding of the literature reader have to refer framework of history and philosophy for the understanding of ethics.
4. Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's Scene.
Inductive method is journey which leads from specific to general. As we read some specific literary work & comes to a general conclusion, in this way we extend from specific outcome to general outcome.
The best example of this method is grave digging scene from Hamlet. It is a specific scene & from that scene we come to some general conclusion.
In that scene there were two grave diggers & they seemed in quite in harmony with their work. They were talking with one another & singing a song during the time of grave digging. They were also mocking on dead Ophelia & commented that whether she allowed to buried or not. Here we can see that they have no grief for deadly one.
5. Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to Music, Painting, Rhythm & Pattern. Give example of the outcome of deductive method.
Deductive method is a journey from general to specific.Music & Rhythm both are the form of an art. Music is a form of art which moves in time and Painting also is a form of art which moves in space. Music is rhythm and painting is a pattern. In a music we can understand the rhythm of it while in painting we can understand the pattern of it. Rhythm is a narrative form, while pattern is simultaneous mental grasp of verbal structure and it has meaning and significance. It provides a mental visuals. By listening some of the music we can't get everything, but when we see the visual images (paintings) ...we can get the actual idea of the patterns.
6. Refer to the Indian seasonal grid. If you can, please read small Gujarati, Hindi or English poem from the Archetypal approach & apply Indian seasonal grid in the interpretation.
According to Hindu scriptures, the 6 seasons are:-
1.Spring
2.Summer
3.Monsoon
4.Autumn
5.Pre-Winter
6.Winter
Here poet talks about the 5 different seasons in this above poem through the student.
Five different seasons are:-
●Spring
●Summer
●Autumn
●Monsoon &
●Winter
In this above poem we find that poet talk about monsoon.poet try to gave beautiful view of monsoon. When monsoon come what happened it's is tell in this poem by poet.
When rain is come birds and trees are dancing and singing. Specially peacock is specking. We find rainbow in sky in monsoon time. So poet how beautifully represent all that things which is happening after the raining.
