“Harry Potter” by J.K.Rowling

               Here, my view about the novel “Harry Potter” by J.K.Rowling. “Harry Potter” it’s Speculative fiction. Also it’s Children Literature Because moral lesson comes from the children literature.

1) Discourse on the purity of blood and harry potter:





      We can see Voldermert also became half-blood but he wanted to purity of blood. It’s really idea about the ‘Race’. The idea about ‘race’ it look at the positive way. Also here , we can say that the Nazi is believe in ‘race’ and ‘master race’. So he believe in social Darwinism. Also the character of Ron. Ron became the mud-purity of blood but making the half-blood. Because some desire transformed the desire of superiority. This is based on “Social Darwinism” . also it became the natural law and it works in idea about fit. Here, social Darwinism conveys the idea abut fit. 

For Example :

Like the movie “VAJIR” . it is a game of chess. If you became vajir so you have to die.

“Human World Is Not Animal World” 

         However, we can defined that you never think of Utopian Society. Because everybody is equal . so think cannot work. People think that race is a very harmful idea. When we say Superior so always different from the Inferior. Why we deconstructed everything ? and also we always attack for ‘other’.

          Here, we can say that the idea of ‘race’ connected with the Hitler idea. People believe that Race is the very terrible idea. 

      “Your Light Not Should Be Dark” – Shakespeare

        The character of Hermonie is mud-blood and she was smarter than other. Here, we can say that the stereotypical and identification of  Raciest idea. “Words never Neutral”. Also we can see the digital are more secular.

2) The theme of Love and Death:

              The theme of love and death goes on parallel. If human love each other and hate each other. Because,

                   “It is within YOURSELF”

        Love is the significant theme in Harry Potter series. Harry loved all, and was loved by all. 

Lily Potter : Harry, you are so loved, so good (whispering) Harry , mamma loves you. Dad loves you, harry be safe , be strong.
For Example:

Siblly : “I want to die”

                The quest for immorality.

“Calmness itself symbolic one”

         We can defined that Voldermert wish for love don’t wish for death. But he has not win the love with anybody and he didn’t win the death. Voldermert think that I have power and I win the death but at last he doesn’t want to death.

3) Self-help culture and harry potter:
       
        The novel “Harry Potter” we can find the self-awareness and performance including satisfaction with one’s life. like the  grown up of harry potter. also how the innocence turn into wilder.  harry potter being human he is wizard. 

           Here, also we can defined that how culture design man and woman like the character of Harry Potter and Hermione.  because Hermione is far better in magic. potter get the idea from Hermione. 

         Self-help group that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship , emotional support include knowledge, identity( through the identity of harry potter . he has a hero of Hogwarts.), meaningful rules and sense of belonging ( harry potter in the house he is a servant but in his school he has protagonist).

          In the novel harry potter we can see the social – control. first of all we can defined that what is social –control. it is American term and concept is adopted from sociological adaption of the Darwinian Tradition. control is the situation of being under the regulation, domination or command of another.

           Also we can see the social institutions like family, religious cults, marriage increasing the power of conscience collective and essentially became the agencies of broken. like Each rules broken by harry potter in school. [Children may be saved from the danger or any kind of evil that’s why school  many rules and regulation.

           Also we can defined the social culture. racism mud blood and half-blood and class consciences. witchcraft and wizard try to equally portrait the character. try to portrait the social inequality though the J.K.Rowling try to up left the class.

          We can defined the Self-invention. it seems just like virtue , loyalty for school and at last part his vision close to Voldermert. that shows the spirit of dealing with situation how dark it is ? once is responsible for everything.

         We can defined the self-esteem. harry potter has high self-esteem because self-esteem as a positive and negative aspect. we have find both the aspect to evaluate harry potter. some how we can find that harry potter as evil but he can’t over powering him. so he can balanced him. 

         At last we can prove that political argument about book. the systematic way of killing of all Jews by Nazi’s the same way Voldermert killed muggles and half-blood gaining power. (Nazi’s and global terrorism in harry potter) .it seems like both are similar political aspects are more powerful than social control and that rules over society and social culture.


The Sense Of An Ending by Julian Barnes



             The novel “The Sense Of An Ending” written by Julian Barnes. Julian Barnes is the author of three books of stories , book of essays , a translation of Alphonse Daudet’s. in the land of pain , and numerous novels. his recent publications includes the sense of an ending, winner of the 2011 man booker prize and through the window : seventeen essays.


            Tony Webster as a  narrator. he narrates the story of his life as it was 40 years earlier in his find year of secondary school. he goes to Bristol university , after completing schooling. he has a girlfriend called Veronica but their relationship fails in some acrimony. Tony’s narration of the second part of the novel – which is twice as long as the first – begins , with the arrival of a lawyer’s letter informing him that veronica’s mother has bequeathed him Rs. 500 and two document.


"We talk about our memories, but should perhaps talk more about
our forgetting, even if that is a more difficult – or logically
impossible – feat."

               In the novel Veronica mentions Blood money. According to her, Sarah’s 500 pounds for the happiness she had with Adrian veronica being instinctive or manipulative, all Tony’s allegations for Veronica and Adrian came to be true for his own character. Narrator has to join the dots in order to comprehend where he stands in the complex web of the relationship of Jr. Adrian, Sr. Adrian, Veronica and Sarah. Veronica’s mention of ‘Blood money’ may be the compensation given to one’s family member offer the death of the person. As Adrian has no one except Tony Sarah might have left behind for him in the will as the amount Tony got was after Sarah’s death.

 A) b=s -v x/ + a1    
     
b=s -v x/ + a1 S (Sarah), V (Veronica), a1 (Adrian), b (Baby)
 S (Sarah), V (Veronica), a1 (Adrian), b (Baby)
Sarah who has negative relationship and bonding with her own daughter leads her to have healthy and more passionate relationship leads to the formation of Baby.

B)a2 + v + a1Xs = b?

 a2 (Antony Webster), V (Veronica), a1 (Adrian), S (Sarah), b (Baby) Antony Webster who has a meanful relation leads Veronica to break up with him and to date his friend Adrian, and it indirectly leads Adrian to date with Veronica’s mother Sarah and at late it leads to formation of Baby. Adrian’s diary is willed to Tony by Sarah Ford. How come Sarah Ford owned it? Why was it in the possession of Veronica? It is clear in his last days Adrian was more close to Sarah, as she herself says that “Adrian was happy in his last days” it shows that Adrian was happy with Sarah, and she was with Adrian in those days. As Adrian and Sarah were in relation than it’s obvious that Sarah should have Adrian’s Diary. So until her Death Diary was in her possession and in her will she passed that Diary to Tony but Veronica was reluctant to hand it over to Tony.

           In the novel memory play vital role .because Memory, individual rather than collective, accounts for who we are and what we have become. And early memory is particularly valuable, though it can be misconstrued. Its influence can persist throughout adult life, though what is cause and what effect may be difficult to judge. In this short but compelling novel Julian Barnes tracks the origin of one particular memory through a long and apparently uneventful life towards an explanation that leaves traces of unease that are difficult to dismiss.

"The Da Vinci Code" By Dan Brown

            



                   Here, my view regarding the book “Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown. Daniel "Dan" Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller fiction who is best known for the 2003 bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code. Brown's novels are treasure hunts set in a 24-hour period, and feature the recurring themes of cryptography, keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy theories. His books have been translated into 52 languages, and as of 2012, sold over 200 million copies. Three of them, Angels & Demons (2000), The Da Vinci Code (2003), and Inferno (2013), have been/are being adapted into films.


                  The Da Vinci Code has set forth a theory about Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail. One of the book’s characters says, “Yes, but it is not I who claim she is the Grail. Christ Himself made that claim." The book claims that the grail is Mary Magdalene, the symbol for womanhood.In reality, there is no proof that Jesus Christ claimed that Mary Magdalene was the Holy Grail. In fact, the Bible does not even mention the words “grail” or “holy grail.” 

          The book “Da Vinci code” is not anti-religion or anti-Christian but it is an atheist. Because  atheist reading can’t get idea about the “GOD”.  Psychologically we can look at the ‘memory of our self’. Here, we can compare the novel and film. Because they both are different think so we can understand the reality of novel and film. Novel / film lead us into critical thinking about a religion perhaps we may think of such conspiracy theory about Hindu religious symbols / myths.

For Example:

The movie “PK”

The movie is not anti-religion or anti-god. But the movie conveys the idea about the god also we can see it’s not atheist film. The PK movie which at a certain amount tries to deconstruct accepted notions about Hindu religion or culture and by dismantling it, attempts to reconstruct another possible interpretation of truth.

           When we do traditional reading of the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and Sir Leigh Teabing, a British Historian as antagonist. And if we do an atheist reading then Sir Leigh Teabing can be consider as a protagonist. As  he is interested in studying History of Christianity. He spent his whole life in searching for Holy Grail, and tries to find out the truth at the end. Ann Gray’s three propositions on ‘know ability’ He talks about identifying what is Knowable, Acknowledge the relationship of a knower and the known and what is the Procedure of Knowing. It’s about a Know ability of God; all are in the quest of something. We can say that it’s all about faith, believing and not believing in God, we can take example of Silas because bitter satire on blind followers of religion, and pain of own body (body is pure nature), Bishop also. And it’s History through which we come to know about something, and how far to rely on History is a difficulty.
             The book “Da Vinci Code” it’s idea of spiritual discussion and debate on the Christianity but we have understand that in literature what is told is not important? But how it is told is important?
            However, we can say that the book “Da Vinci Code” provoked and popular interest in speculation concerning the Holy Grail legend and Mary Magdalene’s role in the history of Christianity. At last we can see without Robert Langdon the Holy Grail can’t open. And the entire journey of Robert Langdon it’s kind of Pilgrims.  Also we may say that Christ sacrifice his life for the betterment of humanity because humanity is under the Christianity. So many people die for religion and Christianity. At last we can say that,
“God Uses as all”
              We can say that the operation of Christianity and religion in entire idea about the god or other  religion think ….. it’s damaged the humanity.



             The feminist reading of the Ophelia, Elizabeth, Hermonie, Hester Prynne , there are three female character compare the  Sophia Neuve’s . here, we can say that the character of Ophelia in “Hamlet”. Her different character in Movie as well as in the play. But after watching the movie we can defined that her character creates the different image in our mind.. Because her lapse into madness and death. Ophelia is still too much under the influence of her father to question his wisdom or authority, and she has no mind of her own to understand how much she has made her lover suffer. No matter how much it pained her to not see Hamlet; all she could see in his present behavior is the madness that terrified her.

              I would like to say the character of Elizabeth in the novel “Frankenstein”. In the movie as well as in the novel the character of Elizabeth, although it seems like different character in both the way. And also the movie and novel both are written in different time so marry Shelley Frankenstein the character of Elizabeth are more passive woman character in the novel. Elizabeth is presented as being angelically good and incomparably beauty. She represents ideal womanhood and its promise of love and comfort. Also it’s passive woman so, Elizabeth embodies the novel’s motif of passive woman, as she waits patiently for victor’s attention.

            We can see the character of Hermonie in the “Harry Potter”.  Hermonie as a good  and strong character. In the movie we can see she was very strong , inspiration , intelligent character. Hermonie is far better than the Harry potter in the Magic. Always potter get the idea from the Hermonie. so here we can prove there woman character are more strong than the man. Here, we can see the objectification of woman body. At last we can say that “Woman always as a Giver”.

              At last the character of Sophie Neuve’s in the “Da Vinci Code”. Sophie Neuve’s was more realistic character, sometimes dumb but with a skill of solving Cryptology, so we find that her character more interesting than the other.


              In the novel Dan Brown has shown the symbol of Mary Magdalene’s. Mary Magdalene’s as a historical figure  and the story connected with the Christ. Mary Magdalene’s was prostitute. But we can find that in the novel as well as in the movie we can see Mary Magdalene’s has not the prostitute but the wife of Jesus Christ. Here, Dan Brown says that she is not only displine  but his wife also. And Christ says that those who thrown the stone they have not done something ? but actually what is the problem of Christianity ? threat is the foundation of Christianity. But in pagan religion emphasizes that equality for both woman and man. But sometimes gives the more equality to woman leadership because sometime woman are more truthful and her side she was right so, give more leadership to her. Here, we can see in the Christianity the  woman figure are more important rather than the man figure because here, Mary Magdalene’s gave the birth to baby child so here we can see the woman figure are important. More opportunity gave the female figure.   We find that in novel also one of the protagonists of this novel is also female character who was a Sophie Neuveu.
