- Oneness of Literature
Literature is a mirror of society.
T. S. Eliot
"The wasteland "
"The joke" written by Anton Chekhov
Literature is a mirror of society. Literature is not like just books but it is everything...
In literature all things are connected with human life. Literature is a window of world. Its like river. It has many ways to flow but root is one.
In literature so many theorist like a T.S.Eliot, Northrop Frye and others. They used similar kind of symbols, Imagination, structure etc. Northrop in his theory of Archetype criticism based on the oneness of literature. And other writer "Tradition and individual talent " that past is very important for new literature. It brings the basic things from the work of literature told by T. S. Eliot. He told that poet should know the pastness of past.
Example
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
Interpretation ...
The stanza of the poem is connected with story "The joke"."The wasteland "and "The joke" both have same theme. In "wasteland" tell about hidden sexuality and in "The joke " we could find sexual perversion with same symbols. We also could find same symbols like mountains and down of sled. Only name is change Marie instead Nadiya. In this story lover so many time used word "I love you " but as sexual perversion not for pure love or true feelings. So we could say that every works have oneness and connected with all literature..
