Online Discussion :Ideas on Mario Vargas Liosa

Ideas on Mario Vargas Liosa :- 

             Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist, was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 2010. His most recent novel is "The Neighborhood." He was interviewed for The World Post by Michael Skafidas, a journalist and professor of comparative literature at the City University of New York.

               In this interview Llosa shared many ideas related to literary work in which I liked three ideas given by Llosa.

●  Idea on Feminism
●  Ideas and Images
●  Novelist is the Historian

                    I personally liked the view of Llosa on feminism in which he said that feminism has become very sectarian and dogmatic kind who always stand for stupid equality. llosa also gave an example of feminists attacked  Nabokov's "Lolita" the best novel of 20th century but feminists attacked about male characters. This kind of stupidity destroy the charm of literature.

                  Second is the image and ideas. In this points Llosa said that today's world young generation give the importance to image more than ideas. It is very harmful to youth that they think  images are creative for modern time but they do not think that this century is the age of Photoshop and post truth. 

                  Third one is 'Novelists is the historian of the unrecorded'.  Given sentence is very true through literature you get idea about social, political and religious background the ages. Literature record dark side of country, person etc. Here Llosa gives an example of Leo Tolstoy's greatest Novel "War and Peace" which is related to the Russian history and many writers used to wrote about historical aspect .

He was the son of a poor shoemaker, but through the kindness of a patron was educated at the town grammar school and then at Cambridge. When he came to London, his soul was surging with the ideals of the Renaissance, which later found expression in Faustus ,the scholar longing for unlimited knowledge and for power to grasp the universe.                            In 1587,when but twenty

Respected sir,            To evaluate my assignment click here  Name:-Heerva Bhatt Course :-M.A. (sem.1) Paper no.:- 3(Literary theory and                         Criticism ) Roll no.:- 14 Email Id :-heervabhatt96@gmail.com  Submitted to :-Smt.S.B.Gardi Department of English, Bhavnagar.  Introduction :-                            Tragedy  (Greek word)is a former of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences. While many cultures have developed forms that provoke this paradoxical response, the term tragedy often refers to a specific tradition of drama that has played a unique and important role historically in the self-definition of Western civilisation.That tradition has been multiple and discontinuous,yet the term has often been used to invoke a powerful effect of cultural identity and historical continuity - "The Greeks and the Elizabethans, in one cultural form;Hellens and Christians, in a common activity."

His works:- □ The Cow of the Barricades and other stories (1947) □   Kanthapura  (1938) □  The Serpent an the Rope (1960) □ The Cat and Shakespeare  (1965)                       Raja Rao'
