Que.:-1)What is Archetypal Criticism? What does the archetypal critic do?

Ans.:-
             According to Jung,


                                         In the literary criticism denotes the recurrent narrative designs, Pattern of action and emotion and also theme and images. We can saw in Literature that mostly used archetypes character by writer. In English literature included christian mythology, story of ghost, religion and ritual life. According to me that Archetypes character mostly focusing on the myth and rituals. Archetype is a common means that anything create bias on similar structure to established different way.  For ex., Sea & River,  Garden & Forest





                                            We can saw this type of common structure among different waving or non-waving way is called Archetypes. This type similarity also we find in poem, novel and shot story. Another example is that We can saw in films, hero fight for family,  for virtue and also his beloved, So we can find same plot structure in film and TV serial. So my point is that archetype criticism is that criticize and focusing on common archetype.


Que.:-2)What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of ' Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'?

Ans.:-
                                             



                                        Northrop Fry gives archetypal criticism to connecting with cycle of nature. He also season connected with mood of human being. For Ex.,



A) Spring ( Comedy):-

                                  Here Fry connected  Spring with comedy because Spring and comedy both are symbols of something became new, birth, development, revival and resurrection and also symbolize dark to light, dry to greenness...etc.



B) Summer( Romance):-
                                                
                                        Here talked about season of England not Indian. So Summer season denotes romance because generally we can saw people marriage in summer time. Another things is that culminations to triumph both these term. All are symbolize romance through Summer season.




C) Autumn ( Tragedy):-

                                        Autumn season denotes tragedy and It is symbol of dying life. We can saw in autumn all leaves of tree fallen down and also tree became lifeless. Similarly hero fallen down and protagonist became tragic hero.




D) Winter ( Satire&Irony):-

                                        Winter is season of darkness. We can saw in winter season is very coldest and days are also shorter and night are longer. Satire reflects the darkness of literature, It is disillusioned and mocking from of literature.






                                        Fry also said that students of literature never learnt special subject of Physic but When they learnt about nature at that time by enlarge studying about Physic. When we asked to students of literature that What do you study? , Mostly they said that about age, Writer and Literature but they don't know that certainly they study about criticism of literature. We all are  also studying another subject through literature like as, Physic, Economic,Sociology,History...etc.

Que.:-3)Share your views of Criticism as an organised body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.

Ans.:-
                                         When we study literature, We don't study only literature but also we connected with another subjects like as, History and Philosophy. Why we included this subject in literature ? because of  We develop historical sense and philosophical sense. When I think way of philosophical, So that my idea became progressive and logical and mind was sharpen through logical arguments. Historical sense has deep thought and pastness. Fry also talked that without thinking  to go on conclusion, It is not right way. We always look on the framework of history which the based on evidence.






Que.:-4)Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's scene.

Ans.:-
                                            Inductive method was mostly used by writer. In this method specifies a journey from specific to general. In the grave digging scene in Hamlet is a specifics scene. We made the general conclusion  like, grave digger scene is centrifugal which moves us away from center. Another thing is that We find lots of conversation between digger and Hamlet. So that the grave digger is significance of general, so they are not worried about death body.                                               




Que.:-5)Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to Music, Painting, rhythm and pattern. Give examples of the outcome of deductive method.

Ans.:-
                                         Deductive method also opposite to Inductive method.In this method also significance from general to specific. For example, There is support of music and art to literature, so some are keeps and moving with time like as, music and some art present in static way like as Drawing. There are music is upon rhythm and Painting is on the pattern, But we can't use particular manner in literature. When we read literature during that time we need both way rhythm and pattern. Another things is that we found rhythm in nature, but Fry  talked that If we didn't respect and care of nature then nature never give respect human being.




Que.:-6)Refer to the Indian seasonal grid (below). If you can, please read small Gujarati or Hindi or English poem from the archetypal approach and apply Indian seasonal grid in the interpretation.


Ans.:-
                                             



                                      India has gifted various seasonable grid by nature. In Our literature poet also write upon season and nature. So here I am going to present short stanza of the poem. In this following English  poem represented briefly about four season.





                                           Moreover I would like to share one Gujarati poem. This poem interpretation about Indian season of Monsoon. In this poem, Poet used archetype character like as, peacock, Cloud, Sky...etc. He also talked about waiting for season monsoon.




Thank you...
