Hello Readers,
I am student of English department at MKBUniversity. Here my blog is the Archetype Of theory by Northrop Frye.
His full name is Herman Northrop Frye. He was a great Canadian critic and literary theorist. He was more influenced of the 20th century. His give the best theory of the Archetype. He explained the how to work this theory in the literature. Let's discuss about it.
#what is Archetypal criticism? What does the Archetypal critic do?
Archetypal criticism is the individual and universal forms of an image are identical the reasons being to complicated for us. It is eleborated much further into an exhaustive mapping of the possibility of literary form and content.
The term of Archetypal also presented the narrative design, pattern of action, character types, themes and images which are identifiable in a wide variety of works of literature, and aslo including the myth, dreams, and social rituals. And according to critic to do the difiend some point in their literary works. Critic identified elemental, patterns of myth and ritual that claimed, recur in the legends and ceremonial of diverse and far flung cultures and religions. And critic explained the repeated patterns of experience in our ancient, which is survive in the collective unconscious of the human race and expressed in myth, religion,dreams, and private fantasies as well as in works of literature. Nothing in criticism or are compels the critic to take the attitude of ordinary waking consciousness toward the dream or the god. Art deals not real but some theory of conceivability.
#What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of 'Physics to nature' and 'criticism to literature'?
According to Frye, every organized body of knowledge can be learned progressively and experience shows that there is also something progressive about the learning of literature. Opening sentence has already is a semantic difficulty. Here give to example of the physics. Physics is a subject of the nature. It is centred to nature. Nature is the body of the knowledge for the physics. Student are learning physics, not that he is learning nature. Nature is a subject of systematic study and has to be distinguished from the study itself. Here is we have learning of literature. it impossible to learn literature but learn about the certain way. Similarly learn to criticism. It is difficulty often felt in teaching literature. Arise from the fact that it cannot be done, the criticism of literature is all that can be directly taught.
So while no one expects literature itself to behave like a science, criticism deals with the art itself but it does not follow that it must be unsystematic.
#Share your views on relation of literature with history and philosophy.
Literature is the Central division of the "Humanities". One side by history and one side by philosophy. Both are more important for the divine literature. Criticism so far ranks only as a subdivision of literature. It means to not give to proper respect like the other subject. Criticism is the best part for the literature. It is systematic mental organization of the subject. History subject like to connect to past events and also lighting in the present age. And philosophy also give to the idea of spirituality, moral and many. Both are proform in very well. History connected with the events and philosophy also connected with the idea. It such a pattern exists, then criticism would be to art what philosophy is to wisdom and history to action. Both subjects is very important to read the criticism of the literature. It is the body of the knowledge for the criticism. It very helpful to learn about the events or ideas.
#explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare Hamlet's Grave Digger Scene.
According Frey, Two type of methods in this Archetypal criticism. An inductive method is the going to particular to general. Grave digger scene is the best example of this method. Here two gravedigger to digging a grave for the newly deceased Ophelia. And hamlet and his friend come the graveyard. Here it symbolise to something bad happen. Gravedigger are happy to their work in graveyard, sing the song. Hamlet enters and engages in a quick dialogue with the Frist gravedigger. After the grave ready and grave to Ophelia that time hamlet fighting with the ophelia brother laertes because hamlet truly love her. We find the rain images of corruption and decay.
#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 means to general to particular. Here the time like music and space like painting. Both cases organizing principal is recurrence. Which called the rhythm and pattern. Frye, says that music has rhythm and painting has pattern. Perhaps we cannot understand the rhythm or music at first listening but with the blink of the eyes we can get the pattern of the painting. This literature is the only bridge between music and painting.
#Refer to the Indian seasonal grid if you can please read small gujrati or Hindi or English poem from the Archetypal approach and apply Indian seasonal grid in the interpretation.
Here I take the seasonal poem "Autumn Song" by Sarojini Naidu. Here the lyrics like..
Like a joy on the heart of a sorrow,
The sunset hangs on a cloud;
A golden storm of glittering sheaves,
Of fair and frail and fluttering leaves,
The wild wind blows in a cloud.
Hark to a voice that is calling
To my heart in the voice of the wind:
My heart is weary and sad and alone,
For its dreams like the fluttering leaves have gone,
And why should I stay behind?
Autumn is the dying stage of the seasonal calender, which parellels the tragedy genre because it is known for the "fall" or demise of the protagonist.
Here we find this song of Autumn. Sarojini Naidu uses lyrical language with simple and rhymes. Autumn significantly present to something became bad or sorrow in the life. Here we find the personal loss and loneliness with the beautiful frailty of autumn. She capitalizes on wind as a metaphor for change and loss of "joy" in the fair frailty of Autumn. The change from the invocation of nature to the personal address in the last stanza, specifically in the last line, gives the speaker urgency to move on from the loss and not linger in sorrow that she hears in the “wind.”
Here I wind up my interpretation. It is very important and intresting topic for me.
