LITERARY DEVICES

By
        LANGUAGE SPARKER Language sparker is the literary device which helps in making the artistic use of language. The language that has no artisan of words or words manual is called a dead language. The style of a writer often depends on the choice of particular literary devices.   Certain artistic effects in a literary work are produced by devices. Without literary devices we can not express our thoughts in an emotional way.  An emotional appeal is also an artistic quality.It is true  that some people much incline to think that artistic quality is an inborn quality.But we have seen a number of exceptional cases.To name a few are Demostheneds, Burke, Macaulay , Dickens, Virginia Woolf, R.K. Narayan and Ruskin Bond. There is another misconception among many of us that simple and lucidity is a token of literary works. To speak frankly, we get wedded with a simple lady and avoid modern artificial bedrooms, but when we  attend a party under gl...

THE READING OF THE NOVEL

By
                        T H E  R E A D I N G  OF  THE  N O V E L To say , a novel is narrative prose. Like other literary branches, a novel has two basic characteristics. They are - a story and a storyteller. Generally a novel makes a realistic treatment of life and manners. The characters are like ourselves. Thus, in a novel we see ourselves. It is admitted by many that the novel came into existence by  Daniel Defoe's great works 'Robinson Crusoe in 1719 and Moll Flander. These two works  produced  attractive stories of a man by string realistic episodes.There is another genius who is Samuel Richardson. His 'Pamela' is a brilliant creation of an epistolary novel . It is based on emotional plotting. Perhaps it was written in 1740. They are  the accounts of the experiences of the common man.  T H E   D I F F E R E N C E  B E T W E E N   E P I C  A N ...

POETRY , OUR OLD FRIEND

By
Image
  Poetry remains our old friend. When our ancestors became happy after hunting a beast , they, in excitement, made a campfire and used to enjoy dancing and uttering sounds.  Perhaps, this is the old beginning of poetry.  We are human beings and have two special instincts. One is impulse, and another is imitation. Both of them tend to create  sensation. Sensation includes joy, sorrow, love, excitement and so on. WHAT IS A POETRY? Sorry, we  do not have  any  precise  definition of poetry like physical science or mathematics. But we have many definitions to fill this purpose. Dr.Johnson gives us the feature of poetry as ' material work' in dealing with invitations. Carlyle puts poetry    ' a musical thought'. Many Marxist poets call poetry "a collection of emotions'' Wordsworth says it as ' the spontaneous overflow into the of powerful feelings'. Coleridge says , ' the antithesis of science, having the  objective to give pleasure'. P....

In Athens, it was created as a theatre culture. From then on, this theatre culture became popular. The work of drama began from religious rituals.
