Additional way to Looking Literature ……
Experience is the Best Teacher, Literature is the Best Vehicle For Vastly engaging our Possible Experience.
literature is an imaginative reconstruction of life”
Matthew Arnold
This is the very Simple Definition of Literature . But here i would like
throw some more light on What literature meant by me
before M.A and After M.A . These two image is about what i
meant Literature after B. A and Before M.A . Here in this image you
can find how i understand literature with the passing of time .
After completing M.A my views regarding Literature is Totally Different
then what i was written in these images before
M.A.
Let's Differentiate Literature Before M.A
and After Completing M.A .
Really it difficult to
define literature in one words. But here i differentiate literature . My
Graduation of B.A in which I felt that I m studying Literature for the Sake of
Education . after B. A i felt that i m just passing the literature but not
understand it clearly. Yes there are several reasons are like i don't have
potential to grasp till the moment.
Now I m able to Analyze the Literary Work – whether fiction , Poetry , Drama , Novel etc. For me
Literature is not just only a Literature but for me it is everything because it
gives me all those things what I was looking in life . Master Degree introduced me with Various Papers of Literature and Language like (Renaissance, Indian, African, American ,
Modern, Post-Colonial , Cultural Studies
,English Language and Teaching and Mass Communications
and Media studies etc) Literature is a resource where we can see what others
have done before us.
Literature allows us to
interpret our own life and emotions and find ways to relate to the story so we
in turn can reflect. It is also a form of entertainment and allows people
to use their imagination to visualize the story within their own mind. But I
find the real point of literature is the story of life, and all people want to
do is to connect to other human beings so they find meaning in their own life.
Literature can also give us glimpses
of much earlier ages. Reading literature cultivates the imagination. I m don’t want
to miss this lines that always motivates me ..
“AND MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP"
this is my favorite line taken from the Robert Frost Poetry "STOPPING
BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING" . This line suggest that Death is the
ultimate reality of life. which is very important line in the
poem. I found the meaning of life .
Here I
would like to give other example from one my favorite play “ Waiting For Godot ”.
Here we can discuss that nothingness in Waiting for
Godot it shows some deep meaning in life in different way. ‘Waiting for Godot’
gives a message that while doing nothing there is something. “Nothing is also
better than something” A person who always has desire for any achievement till
birth to death his list of desire will never come to end. In the same way for
Godot there is ‘waiting’ which has no any end or meaning.
we can learn a lot from the characters placed
in novels. so we can groom our personality and inner self through literature. Now
I would like to talk about novel “ The Sense of an ending” I like this because
it is all about memory , College days and narrates the reality .really it makes sense understand thing
better way .
I have so Many things to write here but I think that it is sufficient. Now
I m able to understand Literature well and all these Credit goes to our Honorable
