Paradise lost

Paradise lost

                The paradise lost is written in 12 books. The idea of this is come from the story of creation. book 9 is a climax of the story of paradise lost.

Question:1  write a critical note on character of Eve.

         
  Ans:1  Eve is the second human created by god, who takes one of Adam's ribs and shapes it into a female form of Adam. Not the traditional model of a good wife, Milton's Eve is often unwilling to be submissive towards Adam. she is the more intelligent of the two and more curious about external ideas than her husband. Though happy, she longs for knowledge, specifically for self-knowledge.(Her first act in existence is to turn away from Adam to look at and ponder her own reflection.) Eve is beautiful and though she loves Adam she may feel suffocated by his constant presence. in book IX, she convinces Adam to separate for a time and work in different parts of the garden. in her solitude, she is tempted by satan to sin againts god by eating of the tree of knowledge. soon thereafter, Adam follows Eve in sopport of her act.

Question: 2 Whose argument did you find more convincing ? 

Ans: 2 In milton's paradise lost book 9, i find three characters more lively.

• Eve
• Adam
• Satan                               

According to my view Adam's argument is more convincing, because Eve is easily tempted by satan than Adam.Satan having compast the earth,with meditated guile returns as a mist by night into paradise,enters into the serpent sleeping.Adam and Eve in the morning go forth to thir labours, which eve proposes to divide in several not, alledging the danger, lest that enemy, of whom they were forewarn'd, should attempt her found alone; eve loath to be thought not circumspect or firm enough, urges her going apart, the rether desirous to make tryal of her strength; adam at last yields: the serpent finds her alone; his subtle approach, first gazing, then speaking, with much flattery extolling eve above all other creatures.

He can't easily accept her argument for separation. but after some debate he yields to eve's argument, not because her argument is better but, he does not want to hurt her feeling. always adam shows the proper reapect and relationship in graceful speech and manners.

After when eve comes to adam and  force him to eat fruit at that time also adam makes argument with eve and feels grief for their separation.

"She gave him of that fair enticing fruit with liberal hand.he scrupled not to eat, againt his better knowledge not deceived."

"best are all things as the will of god ordained them; his creating hand nothing imperfect or deficient left of all that he created much less man, or aught that might his happy state secure, secure from outward force, within himself the danger lies yet lies within his power; againt his will he can receive no harm. but good left free the will; for what obeys reason is free; and reason he made right?"

Question: 3 How do you look at divine perspective in the genesis of the holy bible and human perspective in john milton's paradise lost book Ix?

Ans: 3 The holy bible and book Ix from paradise lost. john milton proposed in 'argument' to 'justify' the ways of god to men'.in fact, he moves on the justify 'man's ways in this world'. in 'genisis', the 'fall' is narrated from god's perspective. obviously,god is the center of bible. the characters of adam and eve are flat, lifeless and mere puppet.They do not have any emotion or feeling or voice. the satan-serpent tempted eve, eve tempted adam and the fall happened. god emerged and punished all three.
In genesis the fall is narrated from god's perspective. the character of eve adam and  satan are flat and emotionless. many questions remain unanswered in god's justice.
In milton's paradise lost book 9 we find the same story told from human perspective.we find eve eat the fruit was to gain knowledge to know good and evil.to giving intention is in favor of human rather than god.

POST TRUTH

Post truth Thinking Activity

•  post truth is a new word for me.The oxford dictionaries word of the year 2016 is 'post truth'.

• The oxford dictionaries word of the year 2016 is a post-truth -an adjective defined as 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief '.

• post-truth has gone from being a peripheral term to being a mainstay in political commentary, now often being used by major publications without the need for clarification or definition in their headlines.

• oxford dictionaries says post-truth is thought to have been first used in 1992.

• Example: sometimes people disagree with some rules and regulations.That's why they commentson this condition.they shares their disagreement with another person. and finally it becomes large movement.

HAMLET

My view about the movie "Hamlet" by kenneth Branagh


I Really enjoyed the movie of "Hamlet".it is great tragedy of that time and its give aesthetic delight while watching the movie.

1) How faithful is the movie to the original play ?

Ans: We are watching a movie,it is very faithful than an original play.The movie is more visualized than the original play. In the movie the character, scene and plot very beautiful portrayed and it is very well expresses the insecurity and aggressive behavior of the hamlet.


2) After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed ? 

Ans: We are watching a movie , it is very well present the scene,plot,setting,situation of the play.In the movie we are slip down one scene to another scene at the starting, all are celebrating the function at the another side hamlet saw a ghost at the begging the claudius is  introducing our feeling towards his wife at the time he going to flash back and he is saw a letter to the public and said that how the king hamlet is handover whole business to me.

3) Do you feel 'aesthetic delight ' while watching the movie? if yes, exactly when did it happen? if no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans: Yes,I am feel 'aesthetic delight' when watching this movie at the begging horatio and hamlet talking about it is not right that claudius become king of denmark. the horatio said that I know your father at the time the hamlet see a ghost. he is following the ghost and the said that 'I am spirit of your father'.Hamlet is see the father and he said hamlet that how claudius is poisoned my ear.


4) Do you feel 'catharsis' while or after watching movie? if yes, exactly when did it happen? if no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans: yes, I am feel 'catharsis' after when ophelia and hamlet are died.hamlet is not decided to take a revenge of his father so he is living very peaceful life.the hamlet take wrong decision to take revenge of his father and his error of judgement that he is doing such kind of think it is responsible of his downfall. at the end everyone praises hamlet but at the end the fortinbras soldiers is broken down the hamlet statue.

5) Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play ?

Ans: The movie is helps better understanding than the original play because it is  gives wider knowledge than the original play.

6) Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?

Ans: No,i don't think that there is any scene.

7) If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on shakespeare's 'Hamlet' ?

Ans: If I am a director of the movie of hamlet that i am changing the begging and ending sequence because the soldiers is broken down the status of hamlet this moment is not right according to me because he is decided to take a revenge of his father and killed his uncle.

8) In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the status of king hamlet out side the Elsinore castle.The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the status of the king hamlet is hammered down to the dust. what sort of symbolism do you read in this? 

Ans: In the movie the begging and ending sequence are similar wherein the statue of the king hamlet hammered down to the dust. this is kenneth branagh's setting.here is suggesting that it is not king hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom hamlet is not to revenge of his father. the hamlet desire is fulfil when he killed his uncle. 

9) While  studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play?why?give reasons with illustrations.

Ans: I think psychological approach is more applicable to the play. hamlet live a simple life before his  father's death after his father death every time he think that why my mother marry with my uncle?and he saw ghost of his father and his father told him about his death so hamlet know ever think about his mother and his uncle,now hamlet decide to take revenge of his father's death.

10) Which of the above mentioned approaches(in pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?why?give reasons.

Ans: I think that here is textual approach is more appropriate than the any other approaches in the pre-view task because one said that the text is best source of own study and text is give the knowledge about the character,writer,society and text is best source is evaluate the work.so I am said that textual approach is more appropriate than other approaches.

             Thank you sir, to sharing wonderful movie of the "Hamlet".
