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. In the present novel religion, religious practices, values, and emblems have been eulogized. Religion is not merely a set
experiment. The repeated use of ordinary nouns such as sea, tree, house, cat, kitten, wall and common verbs like be, have, sleep, awake, love, build, live, weigh etc. reflect the deviation from his characterized style. The emphasis on the use of monosyllables frequently by itself is a
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. Shakespeare decided to make history come to life in a way. Shakespeare uses Holinshed Chronicle because he wants the readers to be persuaded
Summary: Three Witches meet in a barren, open place filled with thunderstorms to discuss the future and their next meeting. Analysis: The play Macbeth begins in a heath, that is to say, an open area covered in rough grass and inhabited only by a few small wild animals. A heath is usually a desolate, lonely area, as it is unable to be cultivated. William Shakespeare could have chosen this place specifically for its symbolic meaning. Empty lands used for meetings normally hint at secrecy. Characters
Who said the quote? What is the text? Citation Analysis Juliet “Despised substance of divinest show! Just opposite to what thou justly seemst! A damned saint, an honourable villain! … “Blistered by thy tongue for such a wish! O what a beast was I to chide at him!” 3.2.77-79 3.2.90-95 This quote is said by Juliet after the Nurse tells her that Romeo killed Tybalt. Shakespeare uses this oxymoron to show that Juliet is immature and can’t make up her mind about whether or not she loves Romeo. She
message of becoming thane of Cawdor it made him believe that there is a chance for him to become King. During Shakespeare’s time, women were thought as lesser beings, still he manages to portray them as a strong, and influential people in his play. Shakespeare shows that Lady Macbeth aspires to be a man so that she can show supremacy and be more of a ruler.

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. Comrade Kirillov, the fourth novel, is garnished in an altogether new mode
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. As a genre, Shakespearean Tragedy is very different from his comedies.

The America scholar Janet Gemmill’s essay (1974) on the use of language in Kanthapura complements Rao for transcreation of spoken Kannada in the novel. In fact, Gemmill has completed her doctoral thesis on narrative technique of Raja Rao. The essay is considered as an outcome of her thesis and it remains an insightful essay. In 1975, Stephen Hemenway’s critique of the first two novels of Raja Rao appeared. He negatively calls Kanthapura a propagandistic and freedom-now type novel. Riemenschneider
