J. P. Tripathi finally discusses on the vision of life as expressed in The Cat and Shakespeare. As the novel deals with the path of devotion of Ramanuja, naturally it presents a different perspective. Tripathi studies the vision of life in five subheadings: (1) Religion and God, (2) Devotion or Bhaktiyoga, (3) Moral Ethics and Code, (4) Love and Marriage, and (5) Social Realism.

Did Shakespeare receive help writing his plays? As many other writers shakespeare did receive help. Shakespeare wrote his plays with other writers ideas that inspired him. In Act 1 of Macbeth shakespeare used “Holinshed’s Chronicle” as a source to write Macbeth. Holinshed 's chronicles were a historic analysis of events, which present historians have dismissed.

besides using the mythical and legendary mode, his first novel Kanthapura has been written in the puranic mode. The Serpent and the Rope has been presented in the complex epic mode and has been compared with ‘The Mahabharata’ (Iyengar: 397). The Cat and Shakespeare is written in the form of a comedy. Some critics call it the Upanishadic mode on the basis of the philosophical revelations and divinations artistically weaved in it.

chapters for the novels of Rao in his monograph. In one chapter he includes novels written during the phase of his painful search for the Absolute Kanthapura, Comrade Kirillov, and The Serpent and the Rope. In the other chapter he comments on The Cat and Shakespeare and The Chessmaster and His Moves, since these two novels are the outcome of the phase of reconciliation of the Self by Raja Rao.

Shakespearean tragedy described by A.C. Bradley in his work on ‘Shakespearean Tragedy.’ I also used ‘Understanding Shakespeare: Macbeth’ by Robert A. Albano as part of the investigation in order to determine to what extent Macbeth fits the description of a tragic play by Shakespeare.

In the Letter in Tribune it is said that the heart of Britain may be sound and strong beat but the British’s lion roar it’s like one from Shakespeare. The meanings of the words are different , the English language is notoriously fast in adapting to the changing world. New words enter English from every area of life where they represent and describe the changes and developments that take place

Raja Rao analysis modern India from a different perspective and elevates Hindu orthodoxy to a grand metaphysic. His work The Serpent and The Rope (1960) abounds with various themes.

allow him to stay in their home until his father comes into town the next day. He is soon caught in bed with a male-hustler by the couple and is thrown out of their home, ashamed and embarrassed. Con- artists are very influential to post-modern analysis because their personas are carefully and deliberately constructed. This is where pastiche is evident. Paul’s persona is a combination of multiple elements especially the information-drenched aspects of our society. We are given no insight into Paul’s
Menagerie- as well as to a corpus of works including the Pulitzer Prize winner Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and more than 60 plays, among others The Rose Tattoo, Sweet Bird of Youth, Orpheus Descending, Suddenly Last Summer and Night of the Iguana. Tennesse’s younger brother, Daikin Williams was keen on predicting that two or three centuries later his older sibling would become more renowned than William Shakespeare. In spite of the inflated fraternal praise, Tennessee Williams is unquestionably
fluid, colloquial already firmly in place. In the foreword to “Kanthapura,” Raja Rao set forth what was to be a lifelong literary concern, conveying the Indian experience to the larger world in a language besides his native Kannada.
