Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning

  Robert Browning  Alfred Tennyson 

🔷️Introduction:-

Comparison is not a novel phenomenon in life and literature. Since his advent on earth, man has been comparing different things. In literature, it has long been recognized as a helpful method of evaluating different works of art, and a manner of estimating literary figures.

The same difficulty has been faced while comparing Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning, the two gigantic poetic personalities of the Victorian period. Both of them were born in the same country and produced their creative works during the same span of time but there is a wide difference between them. It was this fact which provided a stimulus to explore the factors that contributed to this difference between them.

🔷️Robert Browning:-

Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of the dramatic monologue made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humour, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax.Browning's early career began promisingly, but was not a success.

Difference Between Victorian Era and Romantic Era

Different between Victorian era and Romantic Era:-

🌏The Romantic Period

The Romantic Period (1785-1830) was a very turbulent period, during which England experienced the ordeal of change from a primarily agricultural society to a modern industrial nation. French Revolution and storming of the Bastille had a great influence on English society and literature. It influenced almost every sphere of life.

🔷️Industrialization of Romanticism

Britain was also economically involved in the American Civil War. British interests in China were threatened by the Boxer Rebellion against foreign influence. British troops were also fighting in Africa to defend British possessions there. The "Industrial Revolution" had begun in the mid-eighteenth century with improvements in machines for processing textiles. New machines and power tools replaced hand tools, transforming agricultural nation into an urbanized, industrialized one. 

🔶️Working Class :-

The home industry was destroyed, agricultural laborers were paid less than subsistence wages, and land fell into fewer, more powerful hands. Workers had no legal recourse and no right to vote. In cities a large new working class developed. Most of these people were poor factory workers who faced long working hours, harsh treatment and bad health. 

💠 Social conditions of children and women :-

Children and women were also used for work because they were a cheap source of labor, easy to discipline and easy to recruit. In addition the introduction of new machines resulted in further loss of jobs, what provoked workers to destroy the machines.

For the rich it was a period of extravagance and lavish social display. Scientific achievements in the areas of geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy flourished during the Romantic Age.

Difference between Charles Dickens and George Eliot

👬 Comparison Between Charles Dickens and George Eliot:-


🔮 Charles Dicken 

Charles  Dickens 

Charles Dickens was a British novelist, journalist, editor, illustrator and social commentator.Dickens is remembered as one of the most important and influential writers of the 19th century. Among his accomplishments, he has been lauded for providing a stark portrait of the Victorian-era underclass, helping to bring about social change.

who wrote such beloved classic novels as

👉 Oliver Twist, 
👉 A Christmas Carol, 
👉Nicholas Nickleby, 
👉 David Copperfield,
👉 A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.

◼Charles Dickens has a very distinct writing style:-

He writes in a poetic way and uses a lot of satire and consequently humor. Since Dickens’s started off his literary career writing papers for newspapers most of his stories are in an episodic form. He is a master using this method in his stories, using cliff hanger endings he was able to keep his readers interested in his stories. 

🔷️Dickens uses idealized characters:-

In his books, this in itself can be a very bad thing because an idealized character does not have any room to grow throughout the course of the book. However Dickens does not make all of his characters perfect, rather he uses his idealized characters to contrast the ugly side of life that he so often portrays. 

📕 Oliver Twist :-

Oliver Twist is an example of one of his idealized characters, during the course of the book Oliver is put through many trials including an evil orphanage and a small training center for thieves. Throughout all of this Oliver is naive and his values are never compromised even though he is put in very difficult situations. Seeing the ugly circumstances that Oliver so often occupies, it is no wonder that Dickens chose to idealize Oliver and give the reader something to love completely. If Dickens had not idealized Oliver the book would have been dark with very little joy in it.

🔷️Use of upper class and lower class:-

Dickens also loves to employ incredible circumstances in his books. In Oliver Twist, Oliver turns out to be the nephew of the rich high class family that rescues him from the gang of thieves that Oliver had fallen in with. Using these incredible coincidences was popular for authors during Dickens’s time. 

He uses it in a distinct way. While other authors of the period would use the method to further their plot in their simple picturesque stories, Dickens’s took the approach that good will triumph over evil sometimes even in very unexpected ways and he used the method of incredible circumstances to show his outlook.

🔺️ Critical Writing against Upper class :-

Here Dickens’s is critiquing the rich upper class in London who largely ignored the starving population outside their window. Therefore, Dickens is critiquing all of the upper class citizens in London. They lead their lives pretending that they had no obligations to help their fellow man, except possibly a giving a few pounds to the poor on Sundays. Whistling in the dark was how they lived their lives and this was exactly what Scrooge was attempting to do.

Derrida and Deconstruction

Hello readers,

 Warmly welcome to my blog.  Here I have mentioned the term Deconstruction which is coined by Jaques Derrida. Some fundamental implications are given below in the blog. So, I tries to imply deconstruction on advertisement and poem as given in description. For more information regarding deconstruction views the the another blog of Dr.Dilip Barad sir to click  here.

About Author 

Jacques Derrida
( July 15 ,1930 - October 9, 2004) 

Jaques Derrida was French philosopher best known for developing a form of semiotic analysis and he coined the term 'Deconstruction' which directly connected with the text and development in the context of phenomenology.  Although, he associated  with 'post structuralism' and 'postmodernism'

What is Deconstruction?

Deconstruction  is a  theory and   practice of  reading, which questions and claims to ‘subvert’ or ‘undermine’ the assumption  which  provides the  system  of  language  and it  provided  grounds  that establish the boundaries, the coherence or  unity, and  the  determinate meaning of a literary t ext. Therefore,  the reading of deconstruction it sets the force within the text.

In New Criticism, the attention was shifted from the writer to the work of literary text; the process is continuously going  on with textual analysis,  became more important than extra textual information.  Therefore the author disappeared and only the text remained.  In this process the importance of the reader and his understanding always increased. Now only the reader rules the supreme and the validity of his reading can not be challenged. 

Translation of Deconstruction 

There is the point that Derrida wants to transform the way people think and so, the entire structure of Western thoughts has to be transformed,  that is what Derrida wants to emphasize, he takes high degree project of deconstruction. which he wants to translate into French from German and explaining in the famous later a Japanese friend was a professor Izutsu, who wanted to transform to translate a French text of Derrida into Japanese

He wants to know how to translate disconstruction, how does deconstruction happen on it own is not deconstruction but inquiry into the limits of philosophical system is coherence condition Which produced philosophy system are the conditions which are putting a limit to it. Derrida argues which produced an intellectual system, based on the distinction of binary oppositions,  the same position is responsible for doing both oppositions.

Infinite play of meaning:- 

Derrida deconstructs the metaphysics of presence and there is no presence of truth is prove that the structurality of the structure does not indicate a presence above its free play of signs.The relationship between word and its meaning is not natural and it conventional. For example sister is a word which has no relationship with person but it conventional that cannot word sister.

Any words can uses to talk about anything that connects a word with its meaning or as a single bit its meaning is the convention and convention is always social so Derrida said meaning of words is nothing, but the another word. 

The freeplay of signifiers, “a field of infinite substitutions in the closure of a finite ‘ensemble’ permitted by the lack. 

The word interest is meaning like a noun attraction hobby money and advantage etc what do you mean by word and it understands the meaning of word is that of another word and we think we have understood but the meaning of a word is a group of other words like finance and it has another  word.

so it has no final meaning to any word and all words leads to another word for Saussurian ideas that is sign is equal to signifier which signifies something but didn't sign is a free play of signifiers, signifying nothing so meaning postponing ultimate meaning it called in infinitive play of meaning.Tendencies meaning continuously the meaning by reminding under impression and found the meaning. John Sturrock said that 

“a prevailing and generally unconscious ‘idealism’, which asserts that language does not create meanings but reveals them, thereby implying that meanings, pre-exists their expression

Example of Deconstruction

 I have mentioned the one advertisement and implied the term of deconstruction on it.

In the Advertisement the problematic is  to understand  easily the central  idea of Colgate and for healthcare, Because normally we see that  when the free play of signs is works on this advertisement than  it gives the another meaning.  But they used another way to say about dental care but the idea of war is totally different from health and human values.  As  it associated with this quote of John Sturrock, 

“The resort to language or sign entails, we know the loss of all uniqueness and immediacy. The sign is not the thing in itself”. 

Basically the advertisement is about the Colgate but it has hidden meaning behind curtains. Here the word and sign is not signifying the idea of Colgate but  the way they present the  word and sign which deconstructs  it. so language provides the grounds to see in different ways and meaning work under the impression to found the new meaning. 

Another thing is that if something is going to happen great & any kind of reforms that is always connected with 'Man'. There were no woman at all to  fight against enemy of social control. Cultural materialist things involved in the advertisement because the Materialist way they used the language and it has got ability to unmask the hidden ideological agenda. 

 It connected with the political background which is in a present situation as the political figure try to build a military force and spending money over the to build weapons, missiles and other variety of things. As it relates to the political traps to modify the mind of people or brainwash of  people. In similar ways which they wanted to do. And to inform the people to in different ways that the Importance of weapons to control the enemies.

Like "The government will spend USD 130 billion for fleet modernisation in the next 5-7 years across all armed forces," the official document stated. Multiple military sources said the government's aim is to invest in capabilities so that armed forces can effectively deal with any possible threat from either China or other countries.

Thank you.....

Structuralism

Structuralism a part of linguistic and the literary Criticism it starting point from the menorah work of swiss linguistics  Ferdinand de Saussure in the twentieth century.  The structuralism is came as ongoing work in linguistics almost another semiotic and literary analysis of Roman Jacobson.  After ward the structuralism seen in larger areas of semiotics, which is origin in the work of charles Sanders peirce and Saussure. 

Frequency:-
The separation between an event and other its narration allows several possibilities.

Duration:-

The separation between an event and its narration means that there is discourse time and narrative  time.  

Voice:-

Voice is concerned with who narrates, and from where. This can be split in different ways.

Mood:-

Genette said narrative mood is dependent on the 'distance' and 'perspective' of the narrator, and like music, narrative mood has predominant patterns. It is related to voice.

Structuralism

Here , l have put it down the two hindi movie which have same story and the nature of protagonist and after passed through many circumstances both meet together and in both movies her father accepted protagonist as her daughter's husband. Therefore it has a similarities between narrative structure and pattern.
