The Metaphysical poetry

     Hello Readers !

  

    Welcome to my blog,  

    

                       I am share my poit of views on 

activity of 'Metaphysical poetry'.  This activity given by Dilip Barad sir as the part of our syllabus

  Metaphysical poetry is not intended to be read in a passive way. Its use of paradox, imagery, conceit & wit is meant to awaken the reader. Metaphysical poetry asks the philosophical questions about religion, faith, spirituality & being.

Mening of metaphysical poem:-

               The word 'meta' mens beyond and 'physics' means science of concrete thing. So metaphysical means a subject that deals with

things,which do not have concrete shape.highly intellectualized poetry marked by bold and ingenious conceits, incongruous imagery, complexity and subtlety of thought, frequent use of paradox, and often by deliberate harshness or rigidity of expression.

   In the first half of the 17th century,a group of poets emerged who'es poetry is known as "The Metaphysical Poetry". Since John Donne was the pioneer of this group ,it is also known as the school of john Donne .The other poet who followed footstep of John Donne were George Herbert , Andrew Marvell and Abraham Cowley and Robert Herrick .These poet try to followed the style of writing poetry which was initially cultivated by John Donne.

# Characteristic of Metaphysical poetry:-

 ~ Metaphysical poems are all highly intellectualized,they contain large doses of wit.

~ Use rather strange imagery

~ Use frequent paradox

~Contain extremely complicated thoughts.

~Wholeness:

  emotion+intellect+body+soul=humanbeings

# Conscious Attempt  :

All the metaphysical poets made a conscious attempt to differ in the style of writing poetry from the former poets .They were not whiling to continuous writing poetry in a same manner just like Shakespeare,Spencer,Philip Sydney,Christopher Marlowe and others.They wanted to make their poetry look different from the former poet.It was the conscious attempts to part with the exciting style writing poetry and to cultivate a new style.

 # Far Fetched Image :

Far fetched images and conciets is one more feature of the metaphysical poetry. They never tried to use and express their images from that field with which the theme of the poetry was concerned.They tried to bring there images from those field which have nothing to do with the theme of there poems so they are called far fetched images.

In tried to bring there images from the branches and areas just like agriculture mechanical engineering , architecture ,biology Geometry and many other field which have nothing common with the theme of there poems.Such a practice drew attention of the readers and it made them establish poets Herbert borrowed image from architecture and mechanical engineering . The best example are "The church porch" and "The Pulley" marvell made use of Geometrical and agricultural images.The best example is "To His Coy Mistress" Donne made use almost all type of images in his poetry.This kind of practice was and experiment for them in which they successfully.

#   John Donne #

  John Donne is pioneer of metaphysical poetry.His work are noted their strong,sensual    style and include sonnets,love poem ,religious poem songs satires. His poetry is noted for its vibrancy of language and inventiveness of metaphore. Donne's use was characterised by abrupt opening various paradoxes ironies and dislocations.Donne's works are also witty, employing paradoxes, puns, and subtle yet remarkable analogies. His pieces are often ironic and cynical, especially regarding love and human motives. Common subjects of Donne's poems are love, death and religion

# Metaphysical Poetry By John Donne : 

~ "The Sun Rising"

~ "The Flea"

~ "Death Be Not Proud"

~ "The Dream"

~ "Sweetest Love,I Do Not Go"

~ "The Ecstacy

'Sairandhri' by vinod joshi

"Sairandhri",
By-'Vinod joshi',
'Prabadhpoem',
Published- in2018.

 
      Vindo joshi is a post modern poet,writer and critic. A popular name for gujrati poetry is vindo joshi.his famous work as like sikhandi,swarup and siddhant,sairandhri etc.  He won many awards 'sahitya gaurav puraskar','Narsinh mehta award' and 'kalapi award'.Here i want to share my view on his prabandh form poem 'sairandhri' based on character of draupadi in mahabharat.This poem was growing in Australia.


'મારી સૈરન્ધ્રી મહાભારતકારથી અલગ છે.'
                                     - કવિ વિનોદ જોષી
 
   Syndrami 'is a feature of' prabandhpoem'.  Prabandh is a medieval storybook depicting the character of a historical person.This poem composed in prabandha from with  seven cantos,49 chapters and 1800 lines.As a part of languages that poet used
Chopai and dohra in sairandhri.

   હતી નામ રટતી નિજનું સૈરન્ધ્રી  શ્વાસે શ્વાસ,
   હસ્તીનાપુરની  મહારાણી  એતો  કેવળ ભાસ.

   દ્રુપદ સુતા કે દુષ્ટદુમ  ને ભગીનિ  કે પાંડવ નાર,
   પરિચય સઘળા થયા લુપ્ત એ સૌથી વસમી હાર.

સૈરન્ધ્રી એક અલગ પાત્રતાના રૂપે વિનોદ જોશી એ તેના ખંડકાવ્યમાં સ્થાપિત કરી છે. આ ખંડકાવ્ય એક અલગ અસ્મિતા સ્વરૂપે લખવામાં આવ્યું છે. જેમાં દ્રૌપદીના પાત્રને એક અલગ વિશેષતા સાથે પ્રગટ કરવામાં આવી છે. આ ખંડકાવ્ય માણસના જીવનના ક્યાં ક્યાં અંદરુની આભાસ હોય છે તેને ઉજાગર કરે છે. કેમ કે વિનોદ જોશી દ્વારા એક અલગ પરિસ્થિતિ માણસ કેવી રીતે પોતાની જાતમાં બદલાવ કે વર્તનમાં નોંધનીય ફેરફાર કરે છે તેની અભિવ્યક્તિ આ ખંડકાવ્યમાં જોવા મળે છે.

કેમ કે સૈરન્ધ્રી એ દ્રૌપદીનું પાત્ર છે. મહાભારતમાં જ્યારે ધ્રુપદ રાજાને ત્યાં બધા પાંડવો એક વર્ષ માટે અજ્ઞાતવાસ માટે જાય છે ત્યારે દ્રૌપદી પોતાની સાચી ઓળખને છુપાવીને પોતાની નવી ઓળખ ઉભી કરે છે. જે પોતાના સાચા સામાજિક સ્થાનથી વિશેષ રૂપે એક દાસી સ્વરૂપે ત્યાં રહે છે. એ સમય દરમિયાન  સૈરન્ધ્રી તરીકે દ્રૌપદીની મનઃ સ્થિતિ શુ હોય છે તેનું વર્ણન આ ખંડકાવ્યમાં કરવામાં આવ્યું છે. કેમ કે આજના સમયમાં કોઈ પણ વ્યક્તિ હોય તેને પોતાની ઓળખને છુપાવવી જ પસંદ હોય છે. સમાજમાં સાચી ઓળખ એટલે પોતાની પર્સનલ આઇડેન્ટિટી બધા લોકો છુપાવીને જ રાખતા હોય છે. જેની મનઃસ્થિતિ પણ આ ખંડકાવ્યમાં સૈરન્ધ્રીના પાત્રમાં જોવા મળે છે.

આ એક અલગ વિશેષતા સાથે આલેખવામાં આવ્યું છે. જેમાં પાત્ર મહાભારતમાંથી લેવામાં આવ્યા છે પરંતુ ખાસ પ્રભુત્વ દ્રૌપદીના પાત્ર પર વધારે ભાર મૂકવામાં આવ્યો છે. તેની સાથે આ કૃતિમાં ભગવાન શ્રી કૃષ્ણ કે બીજા અન્ય પાત્ર ના પ્રભાવ દર્શાવવામાં નથી આવ્યા. પરંતુ દ્રૌપદી આ ખંડકાવ્યમાં કર્ણ વિશે પોતાના શું અભિપ્રાય ધરાવે છે તેનું વર્ણન છે. આ રચનામાં દ્રૌપદી કર્ણ પ્રત્યે પોતાના લાગણી ભાવો છે તે વિનોદ જોશી દ્વારા કહેવામાં આવ્યા છે. કેમ કે પાંડવો પહેલા દ્રૌપદી કર્ણ હૃદય ભાવથી નિહારતી હતી. એટલા માટે વિનોદ જોશી દ્વારા આ ખંડકાવ્ય મહાભારતની આસપાસ રાખીને લખ્યું છે. પરંતુ તેની રચના મહાભારતથી પર થઈને અભિવ્યક્ત કરવામાં આવી છે.       

 
 
 
 
   

Hamlet

    Hello Readers !

  

    Welcome to my blog,  
    

                       I am share my poit of views on 

activity of 'Hamlet'.  This activity given by Dilip Barad sir as the part of our syllabus. To visit Dilip Barad sir's blog on 'Hamlet

       Hamlet is great tragedy by William Shakespeare one of the best tragedy among his five tragedies. We can say that Hamlet is the   first   tragedy   among all his  best work

#  How faithful is the movie to the original play?

          

          Kenneth branagh's film "Hamlet" is truly faithful version of the original play hemlet, which is written by " William Shakespeare"  we can not get  much changes in Drama to play. Movie convey almostl every dialogue from the  Drama so, l can say movie is very authentic to the Shakespearean Hemlet. Interesting the portrayal of Ghost and hamlet's conversation, hamlet's  behavior toward Ophelia

  #      After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?

. Yes, after watching the movie I  come to this point that  some characters and scenes was changed In the film. Kenneth displays  a very young charming Hamlet's character , old than real prince hamlet, also Ophelia is very intelligent character

 #       Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

Yes , I feel true too the heart with Hemlet's character.also  aesthetic delight too. Hamlet is more enthusiastic powerful and offensive, when we observe him at that time his soliloquies. and another when hamlet and Ophelia very happy ·        

   #   Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

 Yes, I feel catharsis watching the movie when Hamlet engages in a sword fight with leartes. Claudius and leartes have conspired againts hamlet by agreeing to have him drink from a poisonous to insure Hamlet's death ,But poisonous drink was not drunken by hemlet, unfortunately it is drunken by gratitude and she died too

  #   Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?

The movie is helps us for better understanding than the original play because in the film the scene,plot,setting,situation is very beautiful arrangement by the director. Audio visual can effect more than only reading as we can remember easily what seen than what we have read so it is better understanding than the original play

 #       Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?

I want to mention very praisable two movie scenes from Kenneth branagh's hamlet. First scene, when hamlet returned from Wittenberg to Denmark, he see marriage function of his mother with his uncle. All people are very happy but hamlet was very Alone and sad. Second scene hamlet kill to Claudius

#         If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’? 

If, I get  to chance to remaking movie on shakeshpears 'Hamlet' , so I change hamlet  character,  I created hamlet more powerful rather than Claudius. end of the play hamlet should be the king of Denmark. Ophelia should be a queen of Denmark and a beautiful wife of hemlet. In a way the characters of the movie is a victim of circumstances

#      While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations.

While studying the play through movie psychological and philosophical approach find  applicable to the play because hamlet was philosophy student and sharper minded.

Hamlet was all time his argument very intelligent.so i can applied philosophical

#         Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons.

. I think that here is texual approach is more appropriate than the any other approaches in the pre view task because text is best source of own study and text is give the knowledge about the character,writer, society so text is best source to we understand

Post Truth

Hello Readers !

  

 Welcome to my blog,

 Here i want to sher my point on 'post Truth'.

  This assignment task given by dlip barad sir.click here  to visit  blog.

 # The meaning of the 'post Truth' and example:-

                  According to Cambridge Dictionary, " Relating to a situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs, rather than one based on facts.

  'In this era of post truth is social media', like many people happen to use the social media platform whatsapp, facebook, instagram etc.

 The new 'we live in  society' The joke is perhaps best illustrated by this illustration of two mice. On Mickey mouse is apolised rodent than resembles.He gets a lot of attention and another mice is a regular mouse no one seems to care.

"Dr.Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe

"Dr. Faustus ": A play by 
               Christopher Marlowe.

       Dr.faustus is a play by Christopher Marlowe,based on the German story ,      The Tragically History of the life and Death of Doctor Faustus.

1) The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?

   ~  In the last scene of the play directed by Mathew Dunster for Globle theater it signifies that after talking Lucifer become more powerful.Luchifer's big wing's proved that he become more stronge than Dr.faustus.

2) Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If No, why

 ~ In this play we can tell that god is present in the from of good Angles and old man both are allegorical character in the play,

GOOD ANGLE:-O, thou hast lost celestial happiness, Pleasures unspeakable, bliss without end Hadst thou affected sweet divinity, Hell or the devil had had no power on thee: Hadst thou kept on that way,… ... And now, poor soul, must thy good angel leave thee: The jaws of hell are open to receive thee.

THE OLD MAN:-O gentle Faustus, leave this damned art, This magic, that will charm thy soul to hell, And quite bereave thee of salvation! Though thou hast now offended like a man, Do not persever in it like a devil: Yet, yet thou hast an amiable soul, If sin by custom grow not into nature; Then, Faustus, will repentance come too late; Then thou art banish'd from the sight of heaven: No mortal can express the pains of hell.

      In both of dialogue Marlowe try to prove that there is an element like god on earth.and also god present in soul of Mephistopheles,he warning many times.
    So we can say that god is invisibly present throughout the play.

3) What reading and interpretation can be given to this image (see the image of Daedalus and Icarus) with reference to central theme of the play Dr. Faustus?

     ~  Icarus is son of the master craftsman baedalus.His father is talented.he give wings to him and warna him to do not fly near sun because it is made by besswex
But Icarus forget that truth and flew to near the sun and his wing melt and he fall down on earth then he died. Heare similarly in the play Dr. Faustus ignoring the  warning of the good angel,the old man,his tow good friend. Hi fall down from position and power of knowledge likes as themes of Icarus.

 4) How do you interpret this painting?

     ~  In this image we can see that in "Greek Mythology". Icarus is son of the master craftsman baedslus.he give wings to him and warna him to do not fly near sun because it is made by besswex
But Icarus forget that truth and flew to near the sun and his wing melt and he fall down on earth then he died.So here i would like to interpret that  behind the ship there is a drowning leg of Icarus.Icarus is drowning down but everyone is busy in their work no one has a time to look at his suffering.Here we can see reality of world.

5) Read this article by Bhagat Singh. In light of the arguments made by Bhagat Singh in this article, can you re-write last monologue of Doctor Faustus?


~  Bhagat singh:- I don't have to live for a year,a month,a week, I am ready to die now.
At death i will not remember a second lord
Then I will not even repent that I find a place in heaven or in hell.I have lived all my life for my life and if I remember God at death I would be stupid.

6) summarise article discussed in calss.

 Marlow and god : tragic theology of dr. Faustus

Robert ornstein has present some point of Marlow's play Dr. Faustus.Faustus was not juve to think of good Angele and bad angele.according to to Jung death of meaning in the mythic symbols of Chritianity was beginning at renaissance and Reformation period.A.K.Okerlund  point out that Faustus rejected the Christianity, thoughlike that of modern manwhich is based on deep psychological realities of time.marlowe's play in source, the hero's defiant, blasphemous choice of black magic is a splendid beginning, his final moments of dread and despair are a powerful conclusion.
