The Sense of An Ending

Here are my views about the novel..

>> ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email.. It was the money that Sarah gave it to Tony where there is something hidden intention was there and as it also shows some relations like Sarah responsible for Adrin's suicide so that is why called Blood money..

>>b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b.. Here  b = s – v x/+ a1 where b stands for baby and which is the result of Sarah and here included V as a Veronica because she leaves Adrian so then it comes multiplied and addition in addition in Adrian that is ‘a1’ and Sarah that is ‘s’’s relation, then comes baby. a2 + v + a1 X s = b? here a2 is stands for Anthony and V for Veronica and a1 stands for Adrian Finn and S for Sarah Ford and B for Baby so we can say that characters of the novel connected with 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? As Sarah has relation with Adrian and thats why she owned and we can say that we praise Veronica for taking care of retired Adrian and we know that Sarah related with Adrian they having affair and Sarah gave birth to child so generally we can see that relation between Veronica and young Adrian they become brother and sister. Brother who is her own lover’s son with her mother so here also see the love of brother and sister.

>>Character of Veronica: Instinctive, manipulative, calculating, stubborn, haughty, sacrificial, trustworthy, good Samaritan.
Veronica is very important character in the whole novel and her love for Tony and Adrian makes her life different. She loves Tony and Adrian too so some extent it creates tragic situation in her life.

Thus " The Sense" Symbolically used in this novel and it gives meaning to the novel..

Thank you..

One Night @ the Call Center

ON@TCC

Here is my view about Chetan Bhagat's popular novel One Night @ The Call Center..

1).. Contemporary issues in ON@TCC.

   a) Yes, I am agree that Chetan Bhagat has a talent for tapping into the zeitgeist; that he is not much older than the people he writes about makes him a particularly credible portrayer of their world.. Here first i would like to discuss something about The Zeitgeist.. It is one type of spirit of the age or we can say spirit of the time. Chetan bhagat is not too much older so that it is bit easy for him to describe all those character and situation. In this novel all characters are very life like character that we can easily imagine our self there. He also describe contemporary problem in this novel with deeply observation.
  b) The call centre has become the symbol of India’s newly globalised economy. Bhagat's tone is pitch-perfect, his observer’s eye keenly focused on nuance and detail. We can say that he not used big words or high languages but his ideas his point of view of looking into society is very big. As i also read Shashi Tharoor's article where he talks about this novel and Bhagat's writing and observation.
  c) Bhagat has a huge vision and he also portrait young generation, their struggle and all that all those things are very easy to digest yes we can say that those things are not too much philosophical but it also gives something new. Here we can also see the generation gap.
  d) Yes, Bhagat has an insight for the contemporary issues that are movers and shakers in India. Most probably his most of all works are focus on contemporary issues and life of people.
2).. Mannepean satire: First Mannepean satire in which contemporary institutions, conventions, and ideas were criticized in a mocking satiric style that mingled prose and verse. ( Encyclopedia ) Here we see the structure , setting and length similar to the novel. In this novel as here discussed also about people's mindset that some of or most of problems in our life is only can solved by God, supernatural power always helps us and all. In this novel Priyanka and Radhika also Military Uncle those are characters are helps us to understand family issues, problems that describes in this novel by Bhagat. Thus in this novel it shows satire on culture, family issues, contemporary society and all..

3)The effect of Globalization:  First Globalization is ) is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture.. Friedman’s notion of the Flat World is a reality. Globalization has had a huge impact on people's thinking their mindset. In this novel also describe the struggle of each of character's life. In this novel Globalization and the effect of it shows in many ways.

4).. Narrative Structure :

    a) Narrative Structure is most important part of the novel.  Chetan Bhagat makes interesting use of prologue and epilogue in this novel. I would like to say that the fact is that their prologues may be the best parts of their books but hey, If I like the beginning I will read it to the end and The prologue is probably my favorite part of the whole book and epilogue was really shocking . But. we can say not only for using but prologue and epilogue used very interesting way in his novel by him.
   b) “The narrative follows the dream of the author in train from Kanpur to Delhi, wherein God, in form of mysteriously beautiful young lady, narrates the story of ‘One Night @ the Call Centre’.. Imagination and creativity of narration is well used by Bhagat.  Failure also describe in proper way where we can also see the self confidence of most of characters.
5).. Popular Literature and ON@TCC: Popular culture is bit different in this novel their is some of situation and like supernatural things that mostly not happened in reality or real life. I read somewhere that Popular literature today is produced either to be read by a literate audience or to be enacted on television or in the cinema.

6)..Self-help book and on@tcc: First i would  like to say that Chetan's God becomes a mouthpiece for his self help - 'listen to the inner call'. It is about inner call or inner voice. A self-help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. 

( Wikipedia ). Self- help is a kind of non-fictional genre.

7).. Anti-American sentiments..ON@TCC also represented the idea and the Anti- American views. Anti-American sentiment, is opposition or hostility to the policies, culture, society, economics, foreign policy, international role 

( Wikipedia ). In on@tcc.. one of theme is Nationalism and also few characters are presents the idea of Anti-American thoughts.

To The Lighthouse

 My Views about the novel To The Lighthouse by Virginia woolf

To The Lighthouse

1) Virginia Woolf's using the Technique of Cons

ciousness and we can see the complexity of human relationship, about their life, everyday battles with near and dear ones, and also class conflicts and all.. with the help of all techniques she wants to show about people and their mentality. People's behavior and stage of mind like conscious and unconscious. Woolf also shares one of her primary narrative techniques. "Stream of consciousness" refers to a mode of narrative that follows the line of a character’s thoughts and also its related with psychological approach. I would like to say that "Stream of consciousness" includes emotions to guide the reader and gives shape the narrative. Feminist approach here we can see that woolf describe and shown many things by people's mind their thoughts. "  Use of Silence " is also one type of narrative technique where She creates the impression of silence through the introduction of some images. In short i want to say that in "TO THE LIGHTHOUSE" she not only freely used the "stream of consciousness" skills but through a large number of image to convey the own feminist ideas.

2)i am agree with that.." The novel is both the tribute and critique of Mrs. Ramsay". Mrs. Ramsay, who is the is the stereotypical mother-figure and even Lily who admits at times to being in love with it all. She is caring person but many thing does show that how her life has been a sacrifice for others. Lily who the reader is positioned to value as the voice that delivers the whole picture and with the help of picture she express her views, yes she loves Mrs Ramsay but reveals her shortcomings.

3) " To The Lighthouse " is very symbolic novel where we also find many symbolic images.Symbols like..include the lighthouse, waves, the window, the boar's skull, and the fruit basket. For example Waves represent hills and valleys as a normal part of life. For example..The fruit basket that Rose arranges for Mrs. Ramsay's dinner party symbolizes the unity that may be out of disparity. Thus To The lighthouse popularly symbolises light and hope also up down of our life.

4) Two myths, Oedipus myth and Pagan Myth. Here we can see the complexity between two myths. Both myths are presented in the novel very well and in some extent it is very symbolical. Oedipus myth also shows gender  oppositions and womanhood. One thing that related with those myths that is the relation between James and Mrs. Ramsey. It shows that Woolf would extend the Oedipal complex throughout the novel. Words are also very symbolical like “The Window” and “The Lighthouse.” So mythical views are also very well presented in the novel.

5) To The Lighthouse is also a ‘Kunstlerroman’ novel and it describes artist progress, development and "artist's novel". In some content the central character is an artist of any kind. In this novel characters and novel it self faces many artistic struggles  like Lily’s character, who feels a lot struggles in her life.

8) At last we knows that Lily Briscoe completed her painting but there is something missing and that thing she realised after completed her drawing because she wants to draw Mrs. Ramsay's painting but at the end she can not because Mrs. Ramsay is a great personality and not only about Mrs. Ramsay but to paint someone's personality is very difficult and at the end that thing  realised by Lily Briscoe.Thank you..

Oliver Twist

My Views about Oliver Twist.

It is well said about the purpose of watching movie, People only just know that the watching movie is just for enjoyment and entertainment but as u say that only watching with enjoyment is not main thing that we getting from movie but there is something hidden massage, reality of life, cultural movement and all. that we must know from the movie so the purpose of watching the movie is edutainment. About the movie " Oliver Twist ". In this movie we feel sympathy for Oliver ,Emotions that how Oliver tries to find himself in the darkness of society , Social changes, and other things. If we compare movie with novel than it is very well presented by director and also much near with the novel.
    I like one thing that i would like to share and it is very bitter truth that told one negative thing with full of confidence and it becomes always harmful. When Fagin taught to Oliver that how to become a perfect thief and said by him that " If you go on this way that you definitely you become a Great Man." We see the struggle of little boy who always go for right way but sometime society stopped him and he feels uncomfortable and tried to escape from it. Movie and Novel both are very well presented and Movie screening is very helpful to understand all the things in easy way and movie ends with happy ending.
Thank you..

Waiting For Godot

My Views about Waiting For Godot..

>> " Longing " about this painting and  Hope , desire both are there in
this play.. I read somewhere that the moon as expressed in  poetry,
literature, philosophy, and music so in this painting moon is very
symbolical and also wee see that Both figures are seen from the back so that the viewer can participate

 in their bond with nature.. In this
play Vladimir and Estragon both are waiting for Godot so we can say
that Waiting for something or someone it is also related with one type of hope or desire..

>>The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting... Here i like to
say that.."  The change in the tree is fully appreciated and it is very
symbolical.. " In Act one  the tree has no leaves it shows nothingness or hopeless kind of thing.. In short It is a symbol of nature and of life.
About Night and Rising Moon.. Night is the symbol of death and it is also one type of hope for new day, piece and hope..

>>Existentialism .. 

it is a term and Existentialism is a probably most well known philosophical movement which emphasizes on individual existence, freedom, and choices. It is all about also one type of Existence..  that why human being exist??  Absurd Theater .. The term ‘Theater of Absurd’ was coined by Martin Esslin in his essay ‘The Theater of Absurd’. Vladimir and Estragon both are waiting for someone called Godot who doesn't come and both are follow same routine everyday like come and stand under a tree, and another side Lucky and Pozzo comes like master and slave and after that when asked by Vladimir and Estragon, he says that he’s the brother of boy.. Thus Beckett probably wants to say that the absurdity in man’s life makes him incapable of performing something new..

Thank you..

Hamlet

My Views About "Hamlet" Novel..

  First i would like to share something about "Hamlet" play by William Shakespeare and as a movie by Dir. Kenneth Branagh. Both are performed very well to describe whole part of Hamlet as a movie and play. Sir.. Here first i would like to discuss something about one question that IS HAMLET ARTISTIC FAILURE? My Answer is that may be but not sure.. because from the all situation Hamlet faces in his mental disturbance, and i dont remember but one scene the shadow of doubt and many other scene.. if we research all thing than we know that "Hamlet" is an artistic failure has no validity sometime its performed just like as a object.. Inshort it is truely mysterious and tragic play.

Now Here I am try to giving proper answers of post-viewing task.

(1) Movie is totally faithful to the original play. If we compare movie and novel than honestly saying that Kenneth Branagh describe most of all thing much same and very well direct by him. Branagh also added his own idea, thought and his creativity like mirror scene and Ophelia with a key-  this scene is very short but very meaning full. so all those scenes are Branagh's wonderful addition. Watching movie screening its really help us to understand original novel and this things describe that the movie is fully faithful to the original play.

(2) After watching the movie my views totally changed because in some cases i thought that Hamlet is not too good person but after watching i felt that Hamlet also suffer alot from some situation and its tragic turn that At starting Hamlet lives in illusion that his father is lives in somewhere. Hamlet is in dark and that time we see the USE OF METAPHORICAL IMAGE IN LANGUAGE when Hamlet says that " I AM IN SUN.. " Hamlet's struggle most of his own self. I like one thing that at the starting of movie Branagh introduce minor character just like as POLITICAL PLOT.

(3) Next about Aesthetic delight- Yes while watching movie i feel aesthetic delight when Claudius murdered by Hamlet that time i feel really happy. Sometime Hamlet's madness and his expression gives delight.

(4) About Catharsis- Catharsis like PITY AND FEAR.. Yes, i felt catharsis while watching movie.. I like to discuss one scene its fully tragic scene when Hamlet follow the ghost of his father and than start conversation between Hamlet and Ghost of his father. Father says that " THUS WAS I SLEEPING BY MY BROTHER.. BLOSSOMED OF MY SIN..! " and than suddenly Hamlet starts crying and says that " IT IS ADEA, ADEA REMEMBER ME..!.. and when ophelia's father death she feels very alone. Her situation cannot be able to describe in words. Than Ophelia, Hamlet and death of other charcter's. While and after watching movie all those things gives Catharsis.

(5)Yes totally.. screening of movie truly help me to understand original play. Honestly saying that before watching movie i dnt know much more about original play bt after study of play and movie screening help me alot to understand the play.

(6) Relation between daughter and father ( between Ophelia and her father )i will cherish it life time. Friendship between Horatio and Hamlet. and yes Ophelia's endless love and trust for Hamlet.. All moments are really beautiful.

(7)If i am director first i would like to change in the end of the scene of movie its very tragic because all characters died. Its also a revenge play and Hamlet wants to take revenge so the death of Claudius its ok. and In my movie Ophelia and Hamlet never dies and i try to put something different.
Thus
I would like to say that "Hamlet"- As a play it's very well written by William Shakespear and As a Movie " Hamlet " also best direct by Kenneth Branagh..

Thank you..

The Da Vinci Code

Here is my view about the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown..

**Suspense Thriller : 

As we can say that thriller and suspense movies are virtually synonymous and interchangeable categorizations with the help of similar characteristics and features. Suspense always gives something new and unexpected.  Films having a lot of suspense and same suspense and thriller also there in the Da Vinci Code.

**Yes, I read one of Sidney Sheldon's book ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? It is the story where Two women , the widows of two of the dead -- find themselves under ruthless attack and are drawn together in fear, confusion and for mutual protection like that as we can say that the women could not be more different, and it is about the two of the victims.ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK is Sheldon at the top of his form

**Conspiracy Theory: 

It is a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event. It is a event or set of different circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators.

**Conspiracy Fiction:  

A common theme in such works is that characters uncovering the conspiracy encounter difficulty ascertaining the truth amid the deceptions like rumors, lies and all.

**Mary Magdalene's story is generally linked with Jesus. She just plays very important role in one of the most powerful and important scenes in the Gospels. When Jesus is crucified by the Romans, Mary Magdalene was there supporting him in his final terrifying moments. She also discovers the empty tomb, and she is a witness to the resurrection. She was there at the beginning of a movement that was going to transform the West. But the Mary Magdalene that lives in our memories is quite different. Mary Magdalene is considered a saint by the Roman Catholic. For this point i collect many information from this page..   

http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/history/marymagdalene.shtml

**Feminine sacredness: 

The Sacred Feminine is mostly used in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. The concept of a sacred feminine is that there was a matriarchal culture in early religions and Christian church under Constantine attempted to crush it. I read in somewhere that Wherever Christianity has been introduced, it has lifted up women, not just in antiquity but even in modern times, and it is the concept of women where life-bringer was the foundation of ancient religion and feminine views are also there.

Terms:

**Symbology : Symbology it is the study of symbols and Symbology concerns the study of symbols. In this novel there are many symbols and they have there own value.

** Sarcophagus : A sarcophagus is an above ground stone container for a coffin or dead body that often is decorated with art, inscriptions, and carvings. The word sarcophagus comes from the Greek "sarx" meaning "flesh," and "phagien" meaning "to eat," so that sarcophagus, literally translates as "eater of flesh.

**  Merovingian Dynasty : The term “Merovingian” is said to derive from Merovee who was King of the Franks and ruled the Franks for nearly 300 years in a region known as Francia in Latin, beginning in the middle of the 5th century AD.

** Opus Dei : Opus Dei is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church that teaches that everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity. We can say that Opus Dei has been described as the most controversial force within the Catholic Church.

**  Priory : Dan Brown begins The Da Vinci Code with a page labeled "Fact," on which he describes the Priory of Sion. The Priory is Brown's central focus of conspiracy, power, wealth, and historical significance. In truth, the Priory was a club created in 1956 by Pierre Plantard, who later testified under oath that he had fabricated the entire hoax. The actual society existed only in the novel and in the mind of the late Pierre Plantard.

 ** Constantine – and his role : The Roman emperor Constantine the Great plays a significant role in The Da Vinci Code. In which "the Vatican" and Constantine  together to suppress the sacred feminine and the human Jesus in order to preserve their own power.

Yes, 

novel leads us into critical thinking. As we can say that The Da Vinci Code, celebrates critical thinking over the rigid dogma of the Catholic Church. I read somewhere about Brown's quote from his  lecture was this: “It is critical that we live without malice, that we educate ourselves, and that we ask difficult questions, and above all, we engage in dialogue especially with those whose ideas are not our own.”  The answer is plainly Yes, that The Da Vinci Code is anti-Christian.The  Story related and described fundamental truths of the Christian faith--and of faith in general. According to "Da Vinci," early Christianity had a strong beliefs about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the nature of God himself.

Thank you..
