The Birthday party thinking activity

THe Birthday Party 1) Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?   When movie  starts  Lulu is present. And then the very important part of the movie she is not present in the movie. When somebody rapes on her. She becomes a victims of someone. In the play she is present and she blames on Mccann. This scene is not present in the movie. Maybe director wants focus on the Stanley's character or his situation. That's why Lulu omitted from the movie. (2) Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?  Yes, According to me movie is successful to give us the effect of menace. In the movie two strangers are there. Both  are want to  take Stanley with them. And that's why they creates a difficulty for him. They mentally touched him. When Stanley knew that both strangers came. At that time he does not like. He don't want to meet with them. And he hides himself when both are came. He feels somet

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot 1) What connection do you see in the setting (“A country road. A tree.Evening.”) of the play and these paintings? =>      In this picture two people are there. Both have desire. This picture also suggests that they are waiting for something. But In picture Longing is the theme of this painting. So Samuel Beckett inspired by this painting and then he writes "Waiting for Godot". In the painting they have desire but for which things, maybe they have desire to meet with God and to get position in Heven. So when we look towards painting we find that In painting they have desire and then when we look towards Beckett's play both waiting for something. So maybe In painting and In play both have same reason for waiting and for desire. (2) The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act II on the barren tree - The tree has four or five leav

Breath: Interpretation

Samual Backet: Breath Interpretation   Video Interpretation of play The duration of the play is 30 second only but very worth 30 second to give overall idea of the life. As we all know that 20th century have two world wars and also in the field of literature writers broke the traditional way and gave various theories like Nihilism, Existentialism, dadaism, etc. There are many thinkers who gave the theories of absurdity in the life and among them Samuel Beckett, one who wrote the works on absurdity in life. So, in this short play we can interpret the points like: Meaningless Life and death Influence of World war Philosophical suicide Meaningless Life and Death: In the Video we can interpret the breaths with life and death. In the other adopted version we see the light and darkness, so we can connect the light with life and darkness with death. In addition, we can say that life is meaningless like the garbage. rational thinkers have question that what is the meaning

Example Movie scene Ek duje k liye After watching videos I get so many things an

Postcolonial studies Prof. Balaji Rangnathan

Postcolonial studies  Postcolonial studies is the academic study of the cultural legacy of colonialism and imperialism, focusing on the human consequences of the control and exploitation of colonized people and their lands. Post colonialism is a critical theory analysis of the history, culture, literature, and discourse of European imperial power. The name postcolonialism is modeled on postmodernism, with which it shares certain concepts and methods, and may be thought of as a reaction to or departure from colonialism in the same way postmodernism is a reaction to modernism. The term colonialism may refer either to a system of government or to an ideology or world view underlying that system—in general postcolonialism represents an ideological response to colonialist thought, rather than simply describing a system that comes after colonialism.  Professor Balaji Rangnathan In this session we could learn so many things from Professor .Balaji .

Edgar Allan Poe short stories thinking activity

Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, editor, and literary critic.   Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. Thinking Activity 1. Read the first Gujarati story and listen to the audio recitation of the second story. Observe how the two wordsmiths work wonders through words! (Absolute obsession of alliteration). Ans. :   The story name of “MANSANGH” is written by JAYNT KHATRI. The story started very unique way. It’s horror suspense story. The language of story is 'TALPADI GUJRATI'. The Story begins with Dark night. So  the Dark night is also symbol of macabre story. It’s very hard to write a horror scene rather than showing and listening. There are no any sound only words explain all expression. So it’s very difficult. But jayant KHATRI wrote very well readers feel that deep words and horror situation. There are no mention narrative name but story narrated by “ mastar”.        2. List out v
