JOHN DRYDEN'S DRAMATIC POESY

THINKING ACTIVITY: DRYDEN'S DRAMATIC POESY

Welcome: Dryden's Essay: Of Dramatic Poesy: Short Video Lectures and Quiz

Q.1]Do you find any difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of Play?

Ans:

Yes,I found huge differences between Aristotle's definition of play and Dryden's definition of poetry.Dryden deconstruct Aristotle's definition of tragedy.

#Definition of Tragedy:
“Tragedy , then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in the language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative; though pity and fear effecting the proper purgation- catharsis of these and similar emotions.”

#Definition Of Play:
[1] Just and lively image of human nature,[2] representing its passions and humors, and the changes of fortune to which it is subject, [3]for the delight and instruction of mankind.Dryden breaks down definition of Aristotle into three part and gave definition of play.

Dryden used words like "IMAGE","just" and "lively".According to definition of play by Dryden : Drama is an "image' of "human nature", and the image is "just" and "lively".Dryden seems to imply the word "just" that literature imitates human action;the imitation is not only 'just'; it is also 'lively'.

According to Aristotle pity and fear are used in tragedy to purify the emotions of mankind. Whereas Dryden says that passions and humors are used to delight and instruct mankind.
Aristotle’s definition has ended with ‘catharsis’ while the definition of Dryden has ‘delight’.

Q.2]If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you be on the side of the Ancient or the Modern? Please give reasons.

ANS :

This question is as hard as - who comes first chicken or egg ? It is really hard to take side of any one , because 'Nobody is better in one or another way they are better in their own way'. Ancients established the three unities. ancients haven't any models before them but in the side of modern they are standing on the shoulders of Ancients . moderns are following classical and Neo-classicals. Both have their own limitations like in Ancient tragedians are separate from comedians whereas in Moderns same person can rome between tragedy and comedy also.Ancients were also did not follow their own views like three unities etc.

So , we can not take side of any one but if I must have to choose any one then I will choose Moderns. Because they are more knowledgeable, more intellectual and more skillful than Ancients.

Q-3) Do you think that the arguments presented in favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate? (Say for example, Death should not be performed as it is neither 'just' not 'lively' image, displaying duel fight with blunted swords, thousands of soldiers marching represented as five on stage, mingling of mirth and serious, multiple plots etc.)

ANS :

No I don't think that the arguments presented in favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate. There is no harm in introducing ‘sub-plot’, for they impart variety, richness, and liveliness to the play. In this way writer can present a more ‘just’ and ‘lively’ picture than the French with their narrow and cramped plays.English playwright should present Death and Duel fights on stage because -'The audience knows that none of it is real, why should they think scenes of death or battles any less "real" than the rest?'

Q-4) What would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogues are concerned in the play?

ANS:

I think both the dialogues should present equally in the play. Rhymes make play more beautiful and lively whereas Prose are used in day to day life thus they can not give more pleasure;to find novelty poetic dialogues are best but conman people could not easily understand rhymes. but rhymes are given more aesthetic delight to readers.
So in the play both dialogues should prefer in proper order to it.

PM'S SPEECH ON 9/11

9/11 speech 'YOUNG INDIA NEW INDIA' by P.M. of INDIA

ON 9/11 Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a students' convention to mark the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekanand's Chicago address and BJP ideologue DeendayalUpadhyay's centenary celebrations. The theme of the convention is 'Young India, New India'. The event is being organised by the Deendayal Research Institute (DRI) and supported by the Culture Ministry.

The Theme of the programme is "Young lndia, New lndia - A Resurgent Nation: from Sankalp to Sidhhi". Modi told that 9/11 is more famous for terrorist attack rather then love, harmony and brotherhood .The speech by Swami Vivekanand, delivered on this day in 1893, continues to reverberate & inspire generations.

Our department also organised that program , we enjoyed P.M's unexpected speech on the occasion of 11/9/2017 ,125th anniversary of Swami Vivekanand's Chicago address and BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyay's centenary celebrations.

↠TWITS OF THE DAY BY P.M.

1] The convention of students is being held on a day Vivekananda delivered his historic address at Chicago in 1893, he noted.

2] "This year, we are marking 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekanandas Chicago address and Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya centenary celebrations," the prime minister said in another tweet.

3] He said Vivekananda strongly believed in the power of "Yuva Shakti' (youth power) and saw a vital place for youngsters in the realm of nation-building.

4] "Inspired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda, we are working tirelessly towards realising the dreams and aspirations of our youth," the prime minister said.

↠SOME PARTS OF SPEECH

🔼"If there is anyone who should have the right to say 'Vande Mataram' before anyone else, it is those children of Mother India who perform the job of cleaning our streets," he said.

🔼"Whether we clean our surroundings or not, we do not have the right to litter it," he added.

🔼Modi said that he was proud of women who refuse to get married into families whose houses do not have toilets and called for building of toilets before places of worships.

🔼"Toilets first, temples later," said the Prime Minister.

🔼When Vivekananda went abroad, he showcased the greatness of India. But when he spoke in India, he highlighted our problems.

🔼Swami Vivekananda said that only rituals will not connect an individual to divinity. He said 'Jan Seva (public service) is Prabhu Seva (service to God).'

🔼The PM said Vivekananda's ideals can be a guide for all, especially the young, even in today's day and age

🔼He said all students, especially university students should pitch in to take the 'Clean India Initiative' forward

🔼By saying that a confident man made an effort to tell the world that there was an address beyond ladies and gentlemen, Modi praised Vivekananda and added saying that 9/11 was significant to him.

🔼"The correspondence between Swami Vivekananda and Jamsetji Tata will show the concern Swami-ji had towards India's self-reliance", he said. He added that because the world forgot the 125 year old 9/11 message, the one in this century happened. One Asia has the potential to solve the world's problems.

HAMLET BY KENNETH BRANAHGH

'HAMLET' MOVIE by Kenneth Branagh is based on original play 'HAMLET' by William Shakespeare .

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

⇒ The Movie HAMLET by Kenneth Branagh is more faithful to the original play rather than other movie versions of Hamlet .The movie is very much faithful to play in manners of soliloquy. It is also in dialogues;which spoken from the mouth of characters.There are many scenes shown in movie same as original play like :

Ghost scene : two times ghost of Father Hamlet appears in the play
Bed chamber scene : meeting between Hamlet and Gertrude
Play within the play scene
Prayer scene : Claudius’s guilt ridden soul
Nunnery scene : Meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia
Grave digging scene: burial of Ophelia
Duel between Hamlet and Laertes: the ending of the play

But, there were also some kind of unfaithfulness.This movie is very much Victorian rather than 12th century Denmark.Protagonist of the play Prince HAMLET was young University scholar but in movie Prince was half-aged like Kenneth Branagh. Kenneth Branagh him self played role of Prince Hamlet.Texture of film was not faithful to play but language is most faithful.In film i found one more mistake 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE...' scene changed in Nunnery scene.
ONE another big change was that HORATIO reading newspaper. 😆 Mirror scene was really creative and good one.

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

⇒YES, after watching the play my perception about GERTRUDE was changed, before that I believed strongly that Gertrude is also involved in King Hamlet's murder but after that I don't found any proof of Gertrude's involvement.There was one more perception about Hamlet's situation was changed; I could not get Hamlet's Melancholy during play reading but in movie I getting it clearly.Dialogues make more powerful images in movie than book.

3] Do you feel ‘aesthetic delight’ while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

⇒ YES,I felt 'aesthetic delight'. There are many scene where I felt aesthetic delight but my favourite was; when Hamlet killed Claudius. and also in graveyard when Hamlet expressed his feelings to Ophelia:
I loved Ophelia; forty thousand brothers
Could not, with all their quantity of love,
Make up my sum,

4]Do you feel ‘catharsis’ while or after watching movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

⇒Yes,I also felt 'CATHARSIS' while or after watching the movie.Catharsis in my simple words emotions of pity,fear,love,care ,hate and anger etc.There are many scenes when I felt catharsis some of them I am sharing here.

First scene of movie; symbol of Hamlet and also statue of former King Hamlet where camera speaks about greatness , power and imperialism.

Hamlet's melancholy : his mental condition and confusion of philosophical mind,

"It seems madam nay it is"

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt

Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!

Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd

His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!

How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,

Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,

That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature

Possess it merely. That it should come to this!

But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:

So excellent a king; that was, to this,

Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother

That he might not beteem the winds of heaven

Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!

Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,

As if increase of appetite had grown

By what it fed on: and yet, within a month--

Let me not think on't--Frailty, thy name is woman!--

A little month, or ere those shoes were old

With which she follow'd my poor father's body,

Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--

O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,

My father's brother, but no more like my father

Than I to Hercules: within a month:

Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears

Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,

She married. O, most wicked speed, to post

With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!

It is not nor it cannot come to good:

I strongly felt catharsis during Nunnery scene : in this movie this scene depicted with very famous dialogue spoken from hamlet's mouth.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

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

⇒ YES, screening of movie helps me in better understanding of the play. First let me be honest that I never heard about the story of HAMLET in my U.G. I got awareness about this play's story during lectures only then later on I read story but I was not very much clear and after watching movie my agnosy converts in to cognizance.I strongly believes that watching something is far better than reading.And so it is really helps me.

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

⇒ I think there are many scenes or moments in movie which I could never forgot in my life.

-Play with in the play = Priam and Hecuba’s tell , All conspiracy

-Ophelia's suffer

-Unnecessary deaths
-Plonious's funny behaviour

-laerties's Anger
-Ghost scene
-and my most favourite Grave digging scene.
But there is only scene which I will cherish lifetime is Grave digging scene :Hamlet discovers in the graveyard in the first scene of Act V. As Hamlet speaks to the skull and about the skull of the king’s former jester, he fixates on death’s inevitability and the disintegration of the body. He urges the skull to-

↣“get you to my lady’s chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she must come”—no one can avoid death.
↣He traces the skull’s mouth and says, “Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft,” indicating his fascination with the physical consequences of death.

7] If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?

⇒ If I get opportunity to make movie; I will give same power to female as well as male. second I will establish Gertrude as a queen of Denmark rather than Claudius. Third one is I gave philosophical touch to the character of Ophelia and Rosancrantz and Guildenstern .

I also include current problems of society and humanity into it.I will remove Ghost scene and instead of it I create new idea to reveal the truth.I will fill other one lack of movie which is pirate scene.

8]In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this? (Clue: In Book IX of 'Paradise Lost', Satan reflects on his revenge motive: "But what will not ambition and revenge; Descend to? Who aspires must down as low; As high he soared, obnoxious, first or last, To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils." Is it not King Hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom which is symbolically pictured in last scenes?)

⇒In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. Perhaps Kenneth Branagh wants to say that 'Revenge' is not the right / moral answer. It was King Hamlet who wanted his murder to be avenged and thus the fall of his statue signifies the fall of an empire. His urge to revenge brought in catastrophe not only on his family but on entire nation, Denmark.I also believes same that revenge never give good fruits.

9]While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations.

⇒ In very beginning I will show here how many approaches are supposed to be apply.

HISTORICAL&BIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH
MORAL PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH
FORMALIST APPROACH
PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH
MYTHICAL APPROACH
FEMINIST APPROACH
CULTURAL STUDIES

All approaches are present in Hamlet movie also but I found PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH more applicable to the play.

⏩{Oedipus complex “motivates Hamlet’s delay by identifying him with Claudius, through whom he has vicariously accomplished the Oedipal feat of murdering his father and marrying his mother” }

BY →Norman Holland.
from :The Shakespearean Imagination

⏩{Prince of Denmark suffered from the Oedipus complex – ‘an undue and unhealthy attachment of a son for his mother which is apt to be morbidly suppressed and cause great mental distresses’}

BY →Ernest Jones

FROM :Hamlet and Oedipus

In above lines we can see that what NORMAN HOLLAND and ERNEST JONES told about HAMLET. Our protagonist of play Prince HAMLET was victim of psychic mind and surprising fact was that He thought that he was controlling his own mind. 😂
But I found Psychological strongly inside Hamlet let me show,

⇛ OEDIPUS COMPLEX : Love for Mother and HATE for Father.
⇛ MELANCHOLY OF HIS MIND : To be or...,O, that this too too solid flesh would melt etc.
⇛ MISOGYNY : Hatred for females
⇛ MACHBETHIAN AMBITION : he wanted to be King and so waits for an opportune time - may be natural death of Claudius or attack by Fortinbras .
All above are part of Psychological study in which Hamlet proved himself as a psychic, and that's why I found Psychological Approach more applicable to the play.

10] Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons.
⇒ Feminist approach appeals me more than other,because I felt that OPHELIA and GERTRUDE are one of us (Female)who are victimized by male dominated society from more then thousand years and here in HAMLET both are humiliated by Protagonist ;"so called Scholar university student" HAMLET, who has very high moral sense, who was educated philosopher. Ophelia also victimized by his father as well as her brother.Ophelia was used by her Father and Claudius as a pawn.

DENIAL DEFOE

*ABOUT WRITER:

1997-ROBINSON CRUSOE MOVIE

*QUESTION ANSWER:

1] Write about colonial discourse in Robinson Crusoe .

The Process of colonies work like this :

1]    colonizer 2]   colonized
↘ ↙
3]   colonization

In ROBINSON CRUSOE the process of colonization working through below topics:

I] POLITICS OF NAMING :

Crusoe saved one native from other savages and thus he felt that he is superior than him and so he Naming that man as a 'friday'. Crusoe ask nothing to him; even his name too;
and thus we can see that how that man loose his own identity behind the name 'friday';and colonialism begins.

II] RELATION:

After the process of naming , Crusoe described himself as a 'MASTER' ; and thus friday automatically became slave to him . Crusoe never call friday as a friend or even after giving name he continue calling him as savage or poor creature . He never accept friday as a Human being .He humiliate friday and full day give work to him, friday serves Crusoe like a MASTER or FATHER . friday was very emotional man but Crusoe doesn't care.

III] LANGUAGE:

Third thing is language . friday have his own language which is native one but Crusoe taught him,his language which was 'ENGLISH'. He gave all orders and instructions to friday in ENGLISH; thus he tries to prove that he and his language are superior than friday's.

IV] CULTURE :

Crusoe taught his culture forcefully to friday . Crusoe advises friday to wear clothes rather than live naked . Friday was not comfortable in those clothes though Crusoe coerce him . Also he compares his culture with Friday's culture and proved enhancement of English culture.

V] RELIGION:

Religion also played vital role in pocess of colonization ; Crusoe also taught friday , Christian religion and he convinced friday that Christian GOD is superior than others.In novel friday told him that their god name is BENAMUCKEE. However, he forced Friday to obey Christian GOD.He also take BIBLE in his hand and most time appear to read it.

VI] FEAR OF WEAPON:

YES, Fear of weapon i found also this point related to colonialism.Crusoe have GUN and friday was unaware about this weapon and thus he found trouble and fear from that weapon.Crusoe take advantage from Fridays fear and control him.

and thus colonial discourse happens in Robinson Crusoe.

2] How colonialism works in our life (in contemporary time/ of our surrounding, Give examples)?

In contemporary time colonialism is working in both way mentally and physically too, as we all aware about that'our day starts with wishing a GOOD MORNING'and ends with GOOD NIGHT. which is not our culture ; it is English culture.
we also celebrates BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES , RING-CEREMONY etc.In those celebrations we cut cakes and light candles; are totally British culture.

People are crazy behind white corpse ; i saw hatred in peoples eyes for blacks and i also saw emotions of worshiping in same people for whites.and that is the main reason behind craze of fair and lovely cream in India.
We Indians also think that our GODS and GODDESSES are so fair; if any painter portraits our GOD as a black or dark; our religious felling are getting hurted.
Our thoughts are also slaves of British ideology or English ideology we all tries to be so fluent in speaking English like white mans ; and that is the main reason why still today HINDI is struggling to became our national language ?
Who have a little knowledge of computer they also know; the language of computers are very similar to SANSKRUT . Although it became endangered .
One more fact which i hate most that why our people ; called our religious books as a RAMAYANA, MAHABHARATA,VEDA, UPANISHADS WHY WHY ? THIS IS MY CULTURE, THERE ARE MY HOLY BOOKS WHO YOU ARE TO SUGGEST ME THAT HOW I HAVE TO SPEAK AND HOW I DON'T ?

*How they physically rule on us still today ?

I think the most alarming signs of the colonization of the Indian mind are found in the field of education. Take the English nursery rhymes taught to many of our little children, as if, before knowing anything about India, they needed to know about Humpty-Dumpty or rain rain go away or Twinkal twinkal little star . When they grow older, some of them will be learning Western psychology while remaining totally ignorant of the far deeper psychology offered by Yoga, or they will study medicine or physics or evolution without having the least idea of what ancient India.

Swami Vivekanand had earlier said much the same thing in his own forthright style :

The child is taken to school, and the first thing he learns is that his father is a fool, the second thing that his grandfather is a lunatic, the third thing that all his teachers are hypocrites, the fourth, that all the sacred books are lies ! By the time he is sixteen he is a mass of negation, lifeless and boneless. And the result is that fifty years of such education has not produced one original man in the three presidencies…. We have learnt only weakness.

If you take a look at the teaching of history, the situation is even worse. Almost all Indian history taught today in our schools and universities has been written by Western scholars, or by “native historians who [have] taken over the views of the colonial masters,”

Things become more troublesome when Kalidasa is called “the Shakespeare of India,” when Bankim Chatterji needs to be compared to Walter Scott or Tagore to Shelley, and Kautilya becomes India’s very own Machiavelli. We begin to see how our compass is set due west. Would the British call Shakespeare “England’s Kalidasa,” let alone Manchester “the Coimbatore of Northwest England” ?

WHY ALL THESE HAPPENS BECAUSE ONCE UPON A TIME THEY WERE RULED ON US AM I RIGHT ?😠

3] Do you think that, movie is different than original novel?

THERE ARE MANY MOVIES CREATED ON NOVEL ROBINSON CRUSOE BUT HERE I'M TALKING ABOUT FILM OF 1997.

YES , Movie is different than original novel.because when writer published this novel it was 1719; time of ENGLAND'S colonies when England was ruler in many countries like INDIA. And this movie released on 1997 after Independence ; after the TRINITY ; After UNO ,UNESCO and etc.Picture was realized in DEMOCRATIC World. and thus movie is different than original novel.

4]Write about some changes done in the movie.

*CHANGES IN MOVIE:

There are three voyages in book -but in movie there is only one voyage.
In book Crusoe have two pats got and parrot - in movie he has Dog and one bird
In book Friday serves Crusoe as a Master - in movie he became companion to Crusoe; even not friend in first.
In book Fridays GOD was Benamuckee - in movie his GOD was POKYA a crocodile.
In book Crusoe was Superior than Friday-in movie Fridays character was batter than Crusoe.
In book Friday accepted Crusoe's religion - in movie he doesn't accepted Crusoe's religion.
In book Friday afraid of GUN - in movie Friday doesn't much care about that GUN.

EQUALITY FRIDAY & CRUSOE

5]Do you think, movie is describing anti-colonial elements? can you describe reasons?

YES, I think movie is describing ANTI-COLONIAL ELEMENTS.
ANTI-COLONIAL ELEMENT:
In movie Crusoe needs Friday and thus he saved him and though Friday not became even friend to him. here movie shows anti-colonial approach. Friday was relian towards Crusoe and although Crusoe trying to convince Friday to live with him.one time Friday suggest Crusoe to return at his land.which is also anti-colonial. In movie Fridays character is heroic and superior than Crusoe.In end of the movie Friday saved Crusoe's life which shows equality. In movie we can see arguments of Friday according to Crusoe's GOD.and thus ANTI-COLONIAL ELEMENT Describes.

REASON:
And reason is that which I described above.see dates of publishing of novel and releasing of movie .You found huge gape of 278 years ;these is real reason ;of describing ANTI-COLONIAL ELEMENTS in movie.because when writer published this novel it was 1719;when England was ruler in many countries like INDIA; And this movie released on 1997 after Independence. this is reason for it.
