Online Discussion on Oneness of Literature
Thinking activity on Oneness of Literature..
The literature is connected with each other. Or we can say,the literature is produced from the literature.. To understand a work of creativity in literature,we must have an understanding of this continuity of literature.. Inshort all literature is connected with each other .
Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Literature is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific work but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, poetry, drama, fiction and non fiction.
● Northrop Frye...
He developed the theory of "Archetypal Criticism" based on the idea that whole of the literature has oneness of its existence. All literatures shares common DNA or skeleton. There is parallel structure in writting.
● T.S.Eliot...
T.S.Eliot said in his "Tradition and Individual Talent", that the best individual part of poet's work is the maximum influence,which is reflection of writers of past.He covers various topics, myths in his long poem "The Wasteland". This poem carried very deep meaning inside it.
We find oneness of literature in T.S.Eliot's ''The Waste Land'' and Anton Chekhov's ''A Joke''.In Waste land we find this lines which is connected with Chekhov's short story.
"And when we were children, staying at the arch-duke’s,
My cousin’s, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free."
In Wasteland,She(Marie) recalls this event from childhood,sledding with her cousin the archduke,which was frightening at the time.The statement, “in the mountains, there you feel free.” Has the memory of the fear become a sort of nostalgia for the adult who acknowledges the fear but recognizes it as a childish thing...All the time Marie need courage and then only she did coasting with cousin.
● "A Joke" by Anton Chekhov....
The story of Anton Chekhov's A Joke was printed in the column of Gujrat Samachar. The Original title in English is ''A Joke'', but in Gujrati it's printed as a 'small joke' (નાનકડી મજાક).
"A joke" by Anton Chekhov is also shows the same structure of story, only the character name has changed. It is Nadia instead of Marie.In this short story, we find same incident with the girl Nadia.
She also has that feelings which Marie felt and also freightned from the sled. But after that she has interest for sled and she doing it again and again. Everyday both the character were coasting.Every time he silently speaks,"I love you" and One day Nadia decided to do coasting alone, just to make sure that who is speaking. Or it's true or illusion.. But when she gone alone,she didn't listens anything because she was too much frightened that day because her friend was not with her to give her courage.
So,here we can find the oneness between the poem and short story.
● Theme of Sexual Perversion....
In the Wasteland we can find sexual perversion,He has done with Nadia is just a kind of lustful act. And after it both went to their different paths in life. The girl married and boy went to Pitsburg. The main thing for human is to achieve the sexual pleasure and in this way the land turns into the 'Wasteland' with full of waste people. But in the short story,He love Nadia and even, At the end of the story she marry with other man and having children also but still he loves her.He have not any kind of lust.......
In the poem we find Sexual perversion as theme. It describe the lustful desire and attraction. But in the Short story of Chekhov I have not found any kind of lustful desire of man..So we can compare both the literary genre and find oneness in literature..but,the theme is different...
