Dryden's essay of Dramatic poesy:short video review

Dryden's essay:of Dramatic poesy:short video review

1) Do you any difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of play?

Yes, there is huge difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of play.

• Defination of Tragedy has given by Aristotle
"A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; in appropriate and pleasurable language;..in dramatic rather than incidents arousing pity and fear, where with to accomplish a catharsis of these emotions"

•Defination of play has given by John Dryden

"Just and lively image of human nature representing its passions and humours,and the changes of fortune to which it is subject,for the delight and instruction of mankind"

Samuel Coleridge called Dryden father of criticism. In vidio we can find the major defference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden's definition of play, according to Aristotle tragedy is an imitation of an action while Dryden says that play is lively image of human nature.Aristotle says that  pity and fear are used in tragedy to purify the emotions of mankind whereas Dryden says that passions and humour are used to delight and instruct. Aristotle's definition ended with ''catharsis" while Dryden's definition  ended with "delight".

 2) If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you be on the side of the ancient and the modern? Please give reasons.

 According to me both are equal valuable in literature. Because ancient is better in observation of nature and now a days modern is getting from new ideas and new way in literature. So I can't take side of any one.so I preferred both.

 3) Do you think that the arguments preseted in favour of French plays and against English plays are appropriate?

 Yes, I think the arguments presented in favour of French plays and against the English plays are appropriate. because the arguments of lisideius presented in favour of English drama  and French plays maintain unity of time while, english plays many time unity of action broken by playwright and the structure of the plot is very hard for understanding.so according to me French plays are superior than English plays.

 4)  what would be your preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogue are concerned in the play?

 I prefer poetic dialogue rather than prosaic in the play because human's emotions and feelings deeply attached with musical things and rhyme is also effected on  human's  mind and their feelings and poetic dialogue gives us delight. So I think poetic dialogue is better than prosaic dialogue.

The Butterfly poem by Arun Kolatker

Here I discuss about  a poem is a literary form composed in verse. It normally gives account of personal feelings, emotions and imagination. The poem The Butterfly There is no story behind it. It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly. It has taken these wretched hills under its wings. Just a pinch of yellow, it opens before it closes and closes before it o where is it. When I was in B.A I studied various poems. For example The Butterfly which was written by  Arun Kolatkar, an Indian poet wrote about the place- Jejuri, a temple town. Jejuri is a poor place and the hills in Jejuri show the barrenness of the place. His style is simple (English) in contrast with Mahapatra where he uses English and his ideas very effectively. Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being...
