Damned Forever. Fatalism in John Millington Synge's "Riders To The Sea"
Research Paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Jamshedpur Womens College (Affiliated to Kolhan University), language: English, comment: This research paper was first published in the research journal of English Language and Literature and was very well accepted and recommended., abstract: Fatalism plays a crucial role in the working of Synge's "Riders To The Sea" and is scrutinized so as to determine the extent to which it precipitates into a tragedy. In this connection, the faiths, beliefs and aspirations of man are taken into account, which necessarily guide a man towards his fortune. The fragile innocent human is studied meticulously from the gigantic vision of mystic fate. The nature of the characters concerned and their idiosyncrasies have been laid out to depict humankind in general. The concept of "free will" has been elaborated upon. Also, the feasibility of "existentialism" has been closely analysed for a proper assessment of the play.
Philip Larkin. The Silent Herald
Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world”. To Shelley, a poet was a sort of a prophet, a foreseer, a foreboder, a minister who administrated the deepest truths and was next only to God. Reverting from this transcendence, Wordsworth looked upon the poet as “a man speaking to men” and not some superhuman creature, one whose emotions and feelings were in no way different from those of ordinary men and women. To level the fact more plainly, Philip Larkin was all that and a little more. He himself once said about his poems, that they should give his readers the feeling of “a chap chatting to chaps”. The present essay endeavours to show Philip Larkin as a distant yet sympathetic observer of various aspects of life.
William Shakespeare’s "Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark". A Para-Psychological Reading
Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: The present paper endeavours to give an in depth para-psychological reading of William Shakespeare’s classic play ‘Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark’. Two distinguished terminologies, “interoception” and “exteroception” are introduced and taken into consideration, while examining the central character, Prince Hamlet. Previous theories and critical observations are also analysed for a proper assessment of the play. Besides, it is also shown how a careful para-psychological reading can provide an antidote to all previous critical excesses. Critics have often looked upon the play as a potential “Pandora’s box of troubles” interpreting it in a distinctive variety of spectrums. However, the following research shall show how the play is Shakespeare’s systematic study and a tribute to the superior intellect of man.
Understanding William Shakespeare's "Antony And Cleopatra"
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Shakespeare’s ‘Antony And Cleopatra’ is one of the five greatest tragedies, the other four being, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Othello’, ‘Hamlet’ and ‘King Lear’. It is also considered a mature love story and a more prominent attempt than his previous bid ‘Romeo And Juliet’. The play has provided tremendous scope to explore multiple disciplines, which include politics, geography, history, psychology, among others. Therefore, it has a cross-cultural and multi-dimensional appeal towards it. But the present essay endeavours to enlighten upon its dominant thematic aspect, which it argues to be love overall and, in which Shakespeare himself found something so great and surpassing, that he tried to pen down its unsolicited grandeur into one of his eloquent poetic tragedies.
Philip Larkin. Philosophical Leanings
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 9.00, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: This research aims to rework upon certain established and fundamental aspects of Larkin’s poetry, which not only define but also determine his elusive philosophical stance. Larkin appears to have had a close affinity with the distinguished German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, the propounder of great systems of thought. Both Larkin and Schopenhauer seems to have been disillusioned by the frugal rewards of life and endeavoured to explore its subtleties.
Clarifying The Relevance of 80/20 with respect to the Complexity of Ideas in Jane Austen’s ‘Sense And Sensibility’
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: In Sense And Sensibility, the revised title of Jane Austen’s ‘Elinor And Marianne’ “sense” refers to common sense or wisdom whereas “sensibility”, the power of being emotionally alive or proactive. But this is a clichéd perspective overworked and worn out by a large number of Austen scholars. The present essay endeavours to bring about a successful comprehension of the novel on the basis of Pareto’s Principle, also known as the law of the vital few, the principle of factor sparsity or the 80/20 rule. Jane Austen (1775-1817), the most ...
Understanding William Shakespeare’s ‘Othello: Moor of Venice’
Academic Paper from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: Inroduction. William Shakespeare’s classic ‘Othello’ is often seen as a concoction and identification of various themes, cultures and personalities. First published in 1622, and then in the First Folio (edited by Heminges and Condell) in 1623, with differences in the application of words persisting in the two consecutive editions. The play is one of the five major tragedies of Shakespeare, apart from ‘Hamlet’, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Antony And Cleopatra’ and ‘King Lear’, and is also one of the most popular. Interestingly, ‘Othello’ is perceived from a number of prospects, including noble versus Moorish, military versus civilian, Christian versus Heathen, good versus evil, appearance versus reality, loyalty versus treachery and civilized versus barbarian. But the present essay endeavours to show the play as Shakespeare’s careful scrutinization of the two most common phenomenons- faith and honour.

The present essay endeavours to elaborate upon these notions with special allusion to the problem play, which is also Ibsen’s masterpiece.

A Freudian View of Charles Lamb's Dream Children. a Reverie
Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Jamshedpur Womens College (Affiliated to Kolhan University), language: English, comment: This research paper was first published in the Research Journal of English Language and Literature and was well accepted and recommended., abstract: The present paper discusses Charles Lamb's "Dream Children: A Reverie" in the light of Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis. Lamb's life even though it may appear to have glistened on the surface reeked of intense pain and suffering. Lamb led an active public life though his inward thoughts were a very private matter altogether. He was the best of friends and only those close to him knew of his dilemma. A detailed description of Lamb's personal life together with a concise history of psychoanalysis has been laid out so as to determine the psychology behind Lamb's "reverie." The unconscious is given a favourable position in the human mind, which is seen as a justifiable outlet of all the suppressed and the forgotten. Ultimately, all psychological vistas and propositions are shown to facilitate the emergence of the so-called "Dream Children."
