Hello....
Welcome to the tiny world of Blog. I'm going to done the Thinking activity of .....
" The Archetypes of Literature...Northrop Frye"
Which is given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir.
So let's begin....
Archetype means....
The concept of an archetype appears in areas relating to behavior, historical psychological theory, and literary analysis.
Here a concept Archetypal Criticism which is given by Northrop Frye....
Herman Northrop Frye (July 14, 1912 – January 23, 1991) was a Canadian literary critic and literary theorist, considered one of the most influential of the 20th century.
So let's begin the activity....
1) What is Archetypal Criticism? What does the archetypal critic do?
⭐ In literary criticism the term archetype denotes recurrent designs,pattern of action,character-type,themes and images which are identifiable in a wide variety of works of literature,as well as in myths,dreams and even social rituals. The archetypal critic tries to find this pattern,symbols and myths 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.
criticism as a science and Literature is subject of science. He also say that , physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature "criticism to Literature" physics is a systematic and organized study of Nature.
✨Each season is going to aligned with a literary genre:
1.Comedy with SPRING
2.Romance with SUMMER
3.Tragedy with AUTUMN
4.Satire with WINTER.
✨SPRING:-
The spring season represents the Comedy. As per the genre of comedy is characterized by the birth of the hero, revival & resurrection. Spring also symbolizes the defeat of winter & darkness.
✨SUMMER:-
The season of Summer indicates Romance because Summer is the culmination of life in the seasonal celendar, & the romance genre culminates with some short of triumph,usually marriage.
✨AUTUMN:-
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 on demise of the protagonist.
✨WINTER❄⛄:-
The season of winter denotes the satire genre because of it's darkness. It's a disillusioned & mocking form of the three other genres. It is notes for its darkness, dissolution, the return of chaos & 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 the history and philosophy both are pillars of literature.Basically history is about past events and actions. While Philosophy is about morality and ethics of life literature . As it has been said that literature includes history as well as philosophy to convey its meaning so it displays events and ideas. We are not going to stud history or philosophy just taking only their help or examples for better understanding literature.
Inductive and Deductive
4)Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's scene.
⭐ inductive leads the service with specific to general the best example of this inductive method Hamlet's grave digger's scene. It's a specific sense and we come to Some general conclusion as well. 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. So as we know we are going to conclude this scene as inductive method.
5) Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to Music, Painting, rhythm and pattern. Give examples of the outcome of deductive method.
⭐ Deductive method is a journey from general to specific. Here we have to compare music and painting with a rhythm and pattern. Music and painting both are an art, and music is a part of rhythm and painting have a many patterns. 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.....we can get the actual ideas of the patterns.
