3. How important is the family in Dattani’s plays? Answer with special reference to Tara.

Family plays an important role in plays of Dattani, for they stand for society at large. Through depiction of hollowness of family, Dattani shows the hollowness in the moral standards of the society. The discrimination against the girl child by family member shows attitude and mentality of the society. It is tragic that the mother is also support in the act of attaching the third leg to the boy’s body. It is our cultural heritage that boy is always superior to girl. The common method of obtaining higher death rate for girl children than boys is neglecting the girl child during early childhood.

Course Code: MEG-07/ 2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

1. Write a critical note on the plot construction in Untouchable

Plot and Structure of the Novel: The novel does not have any story in traditional sense. This does not mean that the plot of the novel is not coherent. The unit and coherence of plot comes form the fact that the novel aims to expose the evil of untouchability in the Hindu society. In fact the plot of the novels is very compact. Gandhi advised Anand to remove certain passages from the novel, of which he was highly critical of. Anand talk about this in his much celebrated essay On the Genesis of Untouchable. He says: “In retrospect, I feel that, under the tutelage of the Mahatma, who did not pretend to be an artist, I was able to exorcise all those self-conscious literary elements which I had woven into the narrative in anticipation of what the critics might approve.

John lane finally published it under the title An Autobiography in April 1936

Novel The Bluest Eye and colour problem in America.

MEG-06

AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 2017-2018 (Based on Blocks 1-9)

Course Code: MEG-06/2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

The novel The Bluest Eye deals with the colour problem in America. Discuss

The white standards of beauty: The valorization of white over black is not a recent phenomenon, it
goes back in history in ancient time. Mani, a third century Persian, founded an Asiatic religion Manichaeism which was based on the duality of two principles: God and matter or the light and darkness. According to Charles S. Johnson, an American context the idea of blackness has always been perceived in unfavorable light. Some of the phrases which suggest the emotional and East headache implications of the idea of blackness are: ‘Black is evil’, “Black as sin”, “Black as the devil”. In the popular thinking the evil and ugliness of blackness has always been put in contrast with the idea of goodness and purity of whiteness. In this respect one can say that the idea of blackness and whiteness not just a matter of colour but also has certain moral connotations.

Significant features of Robert Frost's poetry with special reference to Mending Wall and Birches.

MEG-06

AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 2017-2018 (Based on Blocks 1-9)

Course Code: MEG-06/2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

4. Discuss the significant features of Robert Frost's poetry. Answer with special reference to 'Mending Wall' and 'Birches'.

Robert Frost’s technique of using a number of ordinary things to suggest beautiful and unique things in nature was the result of the influence of great writers and poets like Emerson, Thoreau, Wordsworth. He admired the use of simplicity to suggest things with insightful and deep meaning. He used New England vocabulary in his poems extensively that it was unfamiliar and unusual for those outside New England. Frost was more drawn to science and philosophy. He stressed on the importance of poets associating emotion with sound and sense. He called the poem in its beauty and its slow, dignified exploration or reality. The poem ‘Mending Wall’describes a very ordinary incident, but Frost weaves a philosophical message through it, which is applicable for a world, which is shrinking day-by-day. The repairing of a wall or breaking down of a wall may be equal to breaking down of relationships or building relationships.

MEG-06

AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 2017-2018 (Based on Blocks 1-9)

Course Code: MEG-06/2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

3. Examine The Scarlet Letter as an open ended novel.

Open-endedness: The Scarlet letter is one novel which encourages different and opposite perspectives. Dimmesdale, a priest, looks at his sexual relationship with Hester as a sin, but Hester has completely different opinion. She says, “What we did, had a consecration of its own”. We can look at the novel from different and opposing perspective. We can consider it a story of sin and redemption, at the same time we can also consider it a story of love and passion.

Contribution of language to the total effect of Huckleberry Finn

MEG-06

AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 2017-2018 (Based on Blocks 1-9)

Course Code: MEG-06/2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

2. How does language contribute to the total effect of Huckleberry Finn?

Language In Huckleberry Finn: Mark Twain made use of colloquial language for serious literature, and the kind of purpose it has achieved is quite evident in Huckleberry Finn. Let us now compare the language of Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. One of the most remarkable differences between the two is that Hawthorne makes use of standard British English of elegance. He does not use the language used by common people in his everyday speech. While Twain makes use of spoken language and that too in a dialect which was not considered as respectable. With such use of language he achieves higher literary purposes. And it is this use of language, which becomes one of the most interesting and delightful aspect of it.

Attitude of the puritans to literature in the nineteenth century

MEG-06

AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT 2017-2018 (Based on Blocks 1-9)
Course Code: MEG-06/2017-18 Max. Marks: 100

Comment briefly on the attitude of the puritans to literature in the nineteenth
century.

The Literary Genres of The Puritans: It is interesting to know that the non-instantaneous style of puritan writing crossed the boundaries of their pulpit and devotional paeans and entered into the other discourses as well. This can be apparently seen the writings of historians such as William Bradford, who was a first generation puritan immigrant, and Cotton Mather, a third generation puritan immigrant. In these writing one can clearly identify the need to reach out to every reader.
In the 17th century many writers chronicled the intertwining of the individual and collective experiences of New England’s Puritans.

Assignment code: BEGA001/TMA/2017-18 Maximum Marks: 100

5. Examine the contribution of Raymond Williams to Cultural Studies.

The concerns of Raymond Williams are summarized in Culture and Society 1780-1950 using his key terms of industry, democracy, class, art, and culture. He was pre-occupied with the relationship between culture and ideol-ogy. In the 1960s he participated in many TV discussion programmes and two of his plays were broadcast on TV. For him the medium of television was a crucial cultural form, unlike most academics, as relevant to education as the printed word.
The Long Revolution was one of Williams’s two or three most important and most enduring works

MEG – 05: Literary Criticism & Theory ASSIGNMENT 2017 - 2018

(Based on Blocks (1 – 8)

Assignment code: BEGA001/TMA/2017-18 Maximum Marks: 100

5.What do you understand by superstructure in Marxist Criticism? Is Literature an important part of the superstructure?

According to Marxist theory the superstructure can be described as the space in the social construction where in the ideas of law, religion, culture, ideology and literature work upon. Some superstructure can be very much dependent upon base while some can be relatively free from it. Literature is an important part of the superstructure as it has a great relation with the philosophical, cultural and ideological trends of the society, and also it reflects relationships with the various social issues including those which are very central at the base.

Poetry is an escape from personality- Eliot

MEG – 05: Literary Criticism & Theory ASSIGNMENT 2017 - 2018

(Based on Blocks (1 – 8)

Assignment code: BEGA001/TMA/2017-18 Maximum Marks: 100

Would you agree with Eliot that poetry is an escape from personality? Discuss.

In “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” T.S. Eliot describes the basis for what poetry is in a way that seems inappropriate when applied to most writers. “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality.” His theory implies that poets only write to remove themselves from their day to day emotions. Eliot says that emotion has nothing to do with a poet’s work.

Let us consider for a moment someone who writes a poem about his or her deep love or infatuation for another person.
