(1) The theme of sense and sensibility.
=> sense and sensibility is novel written by Jane Austen. She was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British Ianded gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing ans economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the transition to 19th century literary realism, humour, and social commentry, have long earned her accaim among critics, scholars, and Popular audiences alike. Sense and sensibility is novel published in 1811.
The main theme in this novel is the danger of excessive sensibility. Austen is concerned with the prevalence of the "sensitive" attitude in the romantic novel which, after the 1760s, turned to emphasizing the emotional and sentimental nature of people rather than, as before, their rational endowments. The influences which worked his change were many. Austen tries to discredit this trend towards sentimentality by pointing out its dangers in the example of Marianne and showing the superiority of sense, in the example of Elinor.
There is a dual plot and dual heroines. Elinor and Marianne each purses her romance according to her temperament and beliefs. Each has an unhappy love affair at the start. The parallel plots, illustrating the dual theme, are one of the weaknesses of the novel, for they occur too "conveniently"  and are therefore not convincing.
The theme of sensibility was illustrated in the love affair between Marianne and Willoughby. The theme of sense is begins with the relationship of Elinor and Edward. The two plots are carefully interwoven. Marianne's romance is ideal until Willoughby deserts her. Story is around the both the female characters and their situation. Love, marriage, jealously are the main theme of the novel. Elinor's chracter is completely different from the chracter of Marriane. Elinor's is always ready to sacrifice her wish for her family. She is not self centered. But Marriane is self centered. She always think about herself. So she is selfish. But Elinor is not selfish. So there is many difference in both the characters Elinor and Marriane.
Elinor's is threatened from the start. Marianne's reactions are always impassioned and uncontrolled; Elinor is always sensible and restrained.

Sense is finally justified and sensibility shown to be a weakness. Ironically, Marianne marries a prosaic older man, and for both it is a second love, something Marianne vowed she could never tolerate. Elinor's fate is more romantic; she marries her first and only love and is quite happy to settle down as the wife of a country parson.

Austen, in expostulating this theme, is setting up in the process what she believes to be a fitting standard of behavior. But the issues are not so clear cut. The proponents of sensibility actually emerge as much more favorable characters than do those that stress the tenets of sense. The moral qualities of goodness and loyalty to one's family are an integral part of what Austen means by good sense. In fact, they are the most important parts of it. Thus Marianne and her mother, while immature and overly romantic, are, on the whole, good people. Sir John is much more pleasing than his wife, and Mrs. Palmer is preferable to Mr. Palmer for just those qualities of feeling that he abhors. Willoughby, John and Fanny Dashwood, and Mrs. Ferrars, the villains of this novel, all lack the necessary human sentiments. Only Elinor and Colonel Brandon remain unscathed, and both have ample portions of both sense and sensibility.

Austen is mirroring the basic tension of her times in this work. Reason, the eighteenth-century symbol of all that is good, and the accompanying moral order of the times, which is exemplified in the standards of the community at large, are being challenged by the nineteenth-century romantic strain, where morality is interpreted by the individual. What was to result is literary history.

Though Austen's style was highly individual, it is based on her close study of the eighteenth-century writers, whose simplicity, accuracy, and precision she admired and imitated. Austen picked up the technique, popularized by Fielding, of the omniscient narrator. But her particular style is more objective. While she definitely has an ironic point of view, she allows her characters freedom within this, for her implications are subtle, and in many cases reserved. Despite the constant satire, there is a sense of psychological immediacy which increases the verisimilitude. Austen uses the consciousness of Elinor as the means through which to narrate her story. As Elinor is rarely treated ironically, her feelings and observations have a seriousness which transcends the ironic. Colonel Brandon, too, is hardly treated comically, and even Marianne, although often seen ironically, is finally taken seriously.

Contrast is used with line effect. Elinor's sense is contrasted with her sister's sensibility. Edward's loyalty to Lucy contrasts with Willoughby's betrayal of Marianne. Mrs. Jennings' good humor is in strong contrast to Mrs. Ferrars' sourness.

Every page of the novel reflects Austen's own quiet temperament, her good sense, and her humor. Though she can be satirical or ironic on either a small or a grand scale, she is never malicious, and her humor never exceeds the bounds of good taste and credibility.

It has been said that in Austen's novels "nothing ever happens." That is because she recognized her own limitations and kept within them. "What should I do with your strong, vigorous sketches, full of variety and glow?" she asked her nephew, a writer. "How could I possibly join them on to the little bits (two inches wide) of ivory on which I work with so fine a brush as produces little effect after much labor?"

In her own style, she is superb. The events of her story may not be startling, but she makes ordinary happenings as interesting, and sometimes as dramatic, as the most exciting adventure story or romance. Much of the perfection of her style comes from the infinite care and patience with which she polishes her work.
There is a satire on humans behaviour. It is presents the situation of society. So it becomes very significant. In the novel Elinor marries with Edward.  And when Marianne falls in lobe with Willoughby. Marianne's love for Willoughby is true. But Willoughby leaves her because of money. For him money is more important than Marianne. So Willoughby also selfish. So selfishness also becomes the theme of the novel. And also Willoughby marries with Sophia. Because of money. Money is becomes the reason of marriage. Because Sophia is belongs to rich class. That's why Willoughby marries with her. Elinor is a elder sister. That's all the responsibility on her. When Willoughby cheats her. At that time she is becomes upset.  For her it is unaccepted situation.  That's why she becomes alone. She can not bear this shock. And she becomes ill. And then Elinor takes a care of her.  And then slowly slowly she recovers. And then she marries with Colonel Brandon. At the end of novel is happy ending is there. But in the novel many circumstances are there.
Austen uses irony as a means of moral and social satire. Her sentences, while usually simple and direct, contain within them the basic contradictions which reveal profound insights into character and theme. This is most obvious in her blunt character sketches. John Dashwood "was not an ill-disposed young man, unless to be rather coldhearted, and rather selfish, is to be ill-disposed." Note that in the first half of the sentence, she seems to be viewing his character amiably. Suddenly she changes direction, and the general impression we receive about John is far more bitingly negative than a mere statement of disapproval. Thus she contains in her statement all the elements of disapproval without directly stating that he was ill-disposed.

Laws surrounding inheritance are what put the Dashwood women in limbo at the beginning of the novel; and their lack of money, compounded with their inability to work, means that they cannot ease their situation, except through marrying well. Money also dictates the eligibility of Elinor and Marianne, as women with larger dowries are of course seen as better prospects for marriage.
Throughout the novel, many characters develop expectations based on sparse evidence or faulty perceptions; this, of course, leads to disappointment as reality proves very different. Joyful expectations are often dashed by harsher turns of events, as Marianne is extremely disappointed by her expectation of being married to Willoughby, and is pushed.
Relates mostly to Lucy Steele, and is the prime determinant of her behavior toward Elinor. Willoughby also becomes jealous of Colonel Brandon marrying Marianne, and other, petty jealousies become evident in characters. Indicates insecurity, or poor character.

Thinking Activity on Wordsworth's preface to Lyrical Ballad

Thinking Activity on Wordsworth's preface to Lyrical Ballad

     The preface to Lyrical Ballad is an essay composed by William Wordsworth, for the second edition of the poetry collection Lyrical Ballad and then greatly expanded in the third edition of 1802. It has come to be seen as de facto manifesto of the Romantic movement.

(1) What is the basic difference between the poetic creed of 'Classicism' and 'Romanticism'? 
=>  classicism and Romanticism two ideologies. They are school of thought or It is a technique of writing. In Classicism intellect is the guiding source and in Romanticism imagination is the guiding source. Romantic poetry is highly imaginative. Classical poets believes in restrained and Romantic poets did not believes in restrained and Romantic poets believes in liberty, freedom. They believed that poet is free to describe, express their feelings through words in the way he likes. In Classicism they realied on the classical master. They followed them. In Romanticism they realied on imagination. And they do not followed classical writer. But they followed medieval writer. In Neo-Classical period they represents city life and urban life. In Romanticism they represents rustic life, rural people. Romantic poets believes in subjectivity. And Classical poets believes in objectivity.

(2) Why does Wordsworth say 'What' is poet? Rather than 'Who' is poet?
=> Wordsworth say what is poet? Rather than who is poet because poet is different and better than ordinary man. A poet is a man speaking to men endowed with more lively sensibility. He finds more enthusiasm, more tenderness and talent in poet. A poet has a great knowledge of human nature. Inherent talent within a person to come with poetry is important. Poet has a more comprehensive soul. His observation and collect the emotions is powerful and better than ordinary man. For him spirit of life is important. His participation  is more important. Where even things do not exists the poet creates that things. So he has a unique vision to create his poetry.

(3) What is poetic diction? Which sort of poetic diction is suggested by Wordsworth in the preface?
=> poetic diction means 'Choice of words'. Every poet has their unique and individual style of writing. For Wordsworth "The language as really use by men" is important. He says genuineness is in rural life and artificiality is in City dwellers. For him genuineness is more important than artificiality. According to him Neo-Classical poet write in highly ornamental language. So ordinary man does not understand the real meaning of poetry. But Romantic poets does not write in ornamental language. But their language of poetry is natural. So ordinary man easily connects with this poem.

(4) What is poetry?
=> After Dryden Wordsworth offers this definition of poetry,  "Spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings it takes, it in form of emotion recollected in tranquillity". Poet describes his emotions, feelings, experience through words and poetry.

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

=> In Daffodils poem four stanzas are there. First three is written in past and the last is written in present. Tone of the poem is subjective. Wordsworth says when he is vacant and pensive mood he recollects the Daffodils. Wordsworth describes his feelings, emotions and experience in this poem. And he creates a beautiful picture of Daffodils through his words in front of our eyes. When he remembers The Daffodils again he felt the Spontaneous overflow of powerful happiness. 

Thinking Activity on Dryden's Essay on Dramatic poesy

Thinking Activity on Dryden's Essay on Dramatic poesy

(1) Do you find any difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of play?
=> Aristotle's definition of Tragedy :-

  "Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornaments, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of  narrative; through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions."

=> Dryden's definition of play :- 

    "A play ought to be a just and lively image of human nature, representing its passions and humour and the changes of fortune to which it is subject for delight and instruction of mankind."

         Aristotle says tragedy is serious action. And In Dryden's definition of play Dryden says just and lively image of human nature. In tragedy pity and fear is there. Both are important in tragedy. Pity and fear creates tragedy. And In play instruction of mankind and delight is there. Delight and instruction of mankind is important in play. In Aristotle's definition Catharsis is there and In Dryden's definition delight is there.

(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.
=> Ancients and Moderns both are important. Both are attached with together for some points. There is a relationship between past and present, humanity and nature and knowledge. In the age of Dryden there is the most important debate on the comparative merits and demerits of the ancients  and moderns.Ancient closely observed nature and faithfully represented her in their work. The moderns have new ideas, new techniques of writing. Ancient and both are better. It is difficult to judge them. 

(3) Do you think that the arguments presented in favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate? (Say for example, Death should not to be performed as it is neither 'just' not 'lively' image, displaying duel fight with blunted swords, thousands of soldiers marching represented as five on stage, mingling of mirth and serious, multiple plots etc.) 
=> French play writer follows the Ancients style, techniques of writing. And English play writer follows the moderns style, technique of writing. French plays does not divided into act and scenes. But English plays divided into act and scenes. That's why French plays boring in comparison of English plays. In English plays there is a mixture of tragic and comic elements. Lisideus is in fever of French plays and Neander is in fever of modern plays. Neander represents the thoughts of Dryden. Lisideus says in french plays clarity is there. And Neander says in English plays satisfaction is there. In French plays smallness, pursuit of one plot, Little action, Narrowness of imagination is there. And In English plays is longer. And English play have Subplots, More Action and Broadness of imagination is there. 

(4) what would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogues are concerned in the play? 
=>  I would like to prefer poetic dialogues in the play. Poetic dialogues are in form of Blank Verse or Rhyme. So It gives a new charm. Poetic dialogues helpful to describes a important situations or incidents. Poetic dialogues pleases to reader or audience. Audience does not becomes bored while watching the play or reading the play.

(1) Evaluate a story of Kanthapura.

ð Kanthapura is in written in1938 .kanthapura is written by Raja Rao.  In Kanthapura , Raja Rao tells a story about a village in the southern portion of India where there is a traditional caste system. The town known as Kanthapura does not abide by modern processes, however most people within the location believe that they are blessed by an entity known as Kechamma. The village has approximately 120 homes with about 700 people. Within the caste system, the Brahmins are said to be the highest group and then there are two different groups that are known as tradesmen who are both weavers and potters. After the tradesmen, there are sudras who are known as laborers and pariahs who are known as untouchables.

    During the introduction and first chapter of the novel, the reader is informed that the story is told during the 1930s, during the same time that Mahatma Gandhi tries to familiar liberation in terms of politics. The narrator of the story is an old widow by the name of Achakka and she is known to a Brahmin, which is the highest caste in the system. She tells the story of the main character known as a Moorthy, also a Brahmin, who has left University in order to become an activist for the Congress of India.

     In chapters two and three, Moorthy tries his best to promote the teachings of Gandhi throught the nation of India. He frimly believes in non-cruelty and he indicates that each person should be able to have a sense of inner peace. Even though he tries to relay this message, he is often distracted by the many negative factors within the village of Kanthapura. Many people do not believe in Gandhi’s message and in  turn they do not take Moorthy seriously. Since there is a great level of resistance in the village, police authorities are forced to oversee daily life in Kanthaputra. One of the policemen known as Bade Khan does not believe in Moorthy’s actions at all and he indicates thst Gandhi’s teaching undermines all of social order and religion in the world.

As rhe chepters progress his knowledge she is shows her courage. He is stands up to local authority. Eventually Moorthy’s mother passes away.  The Brahnnins clerks of Kanthapura invite Moorthy to the

Estate in order to create an increased sense of awareness regarding the social injustice taking place. When Moorthy enters the estate, Bade Khan shows up and physically injures him. Fortunately, there are other members in the estate who are able to defend Moorthy. After the incident, Moorthy is very unhappy with the turns of events and he prays that violence would just come to an end.

Due to the injustice that was faced at the estate, Moorthy decides to go on a fast for three days, just like Gandhi would participate in. At the end of the fast, Moorthy is very happy and he feels victorious that he is able to rise above those people with small minds. Even though he is satisfied with himself, the foreign government approaches Moorthy and tells him that he is provoking violence throughout Kanthapura. Due to his actions, the police officers decide to arrest him.

Moorthy is sent into prison. For three months because the authorities believe that he is the reason that there are many violent outbursts. In his presence, Rangamma stays active and she develops a volunteer crops committee. Within the group, she inspires women to have courage and to continue fighting for their freedom through the use of non-violence.

Once Moorthy is released from jail. He maintains a positive stance. When he approaches his home, he finds that there are many people waiting for him, cheering him on since they believe in this peaceful attitude. After Moorthy’s release from prison, there continue to be arrests of people who are protesting social injustice and brutality, especially against the women. There are police officers who are seen chasing women and trying to abuse them. There are also instances where the officers start beating people for no justifiable reason. Within Kanthapura the increased violence that is he has taken the time to promote peace, following Gandhi’s philosophy. Regardless, Moorthy continues to try and make strides in order to change the ways of Kanthapur.

Once one year has passed, it is seen that approximately 30 refugees from Kanthapura have fled and have settled in Kashipur. These people look to their Lord  save them from  the injustices that were once brought to them in Kanthapura. As time goes on, they still have a desire to make their nation free again through the assistance of Gandhi and the belief in their deities.

As a village, Kanthapura is divided into the Indian caste system, much

The whole village divides in caste system. And they strically follows the rules of religion or caste-system. For people religion and caste is more important. Moorthy is Gandhian man. He is young Brahmin who leaves for the city to study, where he becomes familiar with Gandhian lifestyle, wearing home-spun khaddar and discarded foreign clothes and speaking out against the caste system. At that time people are rigid. Heartbroken to hear this , Moorhy’s mother Narasamma dies. After this, Moorthy starts living with an educated widow, Rangamma,who is active in India’s independence movement.

Morthy is then invited by Brahmin clerks at the Skeffington coffee estate to create an awareness of Gandhian teachings among the pariah coolies. Ehen Moorthy arrives; he is beaten by the policeman Bade Khan- and action for which they are then thrown out of the estate. Moorthy continues his fight against injustice and social inequality and becomes a staunch ally of Gandhi. Although he is depressed over the violence at the estate, he takes responsibility and goes on a three-day fast and emerges morally elated. A unit of the independence committee is then formed in Kanthapura, with the office bearers vowing to follow Gandhi’s teaching under Moorthy’s leadership. The British government accuses Moorthy of provoking the townspeople to inflict violence and arrests him. Though the committee is willing to pay his bail, Moorthy spends the next three months in prison, the woman of Kanthapura take charge, forming a volunteer crops under Rangamma’s leadership. Rangamma instills a telling them stories of notable women from Indian history. They face police brutality, including assault and rape, when the village is attacked and burned. Upon Moorhy’s release from prison, he is greeted by the loyal townspeople, who are now united redardless of caste. The novel ends with Moorhy and the town looking to the future and planning to continue their fight for independence.

Achakka provides a detailed picture of the rural setting. Achakka is quickly creates a faithful image of an Indian way of life. The main theme of Kanthapuara is the struggle for freedom. They wants freedom. That’s why they does hard work for freedom. People of this village believes Gandhian principles. That’s why they follows Gandhian principle. In this Moorhy is like a Gandhi. When Gandhi fights for freedom. As well Moorthy is also fights for freedom. Moorhy is the centre of the novel. Whole incidents for freedom he plays a lead role in this movement. Whole the story is around him. He believes in non-violence like Gandhi. People of village also give a support to him. though there are

    The theme of Kanthapura is the unification of different Indian castes under a Gandhian system of social justice during the fight against British rule of India. At the beginning of the novel. Kanthapura , a rural Indian village, is divided by caste.

As a village, Kanthapura is divided firmly by the Indian caste system, much like India is divided during this period. This manifests in both physical and subtler ways- the village is literally divided into quarters for each caste, and the system is enforced by social oversight. Although there are friendships across certain classes, the pariah class are uniformly treated as exiles from society and ostracized by all classes .morhey’s embrace of them is one of the greatest shocks to the existing social structure, and leads to his excommunication from the Brahmin Class. Outsiders who do not fit.

ð Conclusion :-

   In this novel there is a unique way to telling a story is there. This story attached with felling and emotions. Achakka when tells a story she is becomes emotional. Her feelings described in this story. Past and present logic used in this story. In village there is a mixture of religion and political issues are there.
