Thinking Activity : Northrop Frye

Thinking Activity : Northrop Frye


Hello readers...

                              I would like to wrote Northrop Frye 's Archetypal criticism. This Thinking Activity is given by Dr Dilip Barad sir. In literary criticism the term Archetypes denotes recurrent narratives designs, patterns of action, character types, themes, and images which are identifiable in a wide variety of works of literature.



  Frye's Definition of Archetypal criticism

    " in literary criticism the term Archetype suggests narrative designs, patterns of action, character types, themes and images which are known to a wide verity of works of literature also to myths, dreams and even social rituals''

(1) what is Archetypal criticism? What does the archetypal critic do?

Ans. Archetypal literary criticism is a type of critical theory that interprets a text by focusing on recurring myths and archetypes in the narrative, symbols, images, and character types in literary works. As an acknowledged from of literary criticism it dates back to 1934 when maud Bodking published Archetypal patterns in poetry.

                        Archetypal critic would suggest that all human experience is connected through literature and this experience is expressed again and again by asing the same pattern throughout time and space. There are some universal truthes that we can learn by reading.

(2) what is Frye typing to prove by giving an analogy of 'physics to nature' and criticism to literature.

Ans. Northrop Frye given archetypal criticism to connecting with cycle of nature, he also season connected with mood of human being.

Comedy with spring 
Romance with summer 
Tragedy with Autumn 
Satire & Irony with winter

                     Frye also said that students of literature never learnt special subject of physics but when they learnt about nature at that time by enlarge studing about physics. He gives five different views or different fields like, human, animal, vegetation mineral and water.

(3) share your views of criticism as an organised body of knowledge mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.

Ans. Criticism is as an organised body of knowledge. So it is progressive way of literature. But literature never organised it should free from it for the progress of literature. So that my idea became progressive and logical and mind was sharpen through logical arguments. Historical sense has deep thought and pasteness. Frye also talked that without thinking to go on conclusion, it is not right way. We always look on the framework of history which the based on evidence.

(4) Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Bigger's scene.




Ans. Inductive method was mostly used by writer. In this method specifies a journey from specific to general. In the grave digging scene in Hamlet is a specifics scene, we made the general conclusion like, grave digger scene is centrifugal which moves us away from center.



                      Hamlet is the grave digger scene is the example of it. It is specifically things. In the hamlet Ophelia 's death is center whether her death is nature and accident or suicide victims not normally buried in churchyard in those days. So with the specific scenes we come to the genera illustrations.

(5) Briefly explain Deductive method with reference to an analogy to music, painting, rhythm and patten. Give example of outcome of Deductive method. 

Ans. In the Deductive method is come from. General to specific or particular observations. In this music has rhyme and painting has patterns. Both are connected while listening the music of the first time we can't understand but when we start to understand the words we image a picture in the mind by this imagination we understand the things. As the same thing happens while reading literature we image the things through the imagination it helps us to understand the literature. So music, rhythm, painting, patterns so it helps to understand the literature.

(6) Refer to the Indian seasonal grid (below) if you can, please read small Gujarati or Hindi poem from Archetypal approach and apply India seassonal grid in the interpretation. 

Ans. 

                          India has gifted various seasonable grid by nature. In our literature poet also write upon season and nature, so hear i am going to present short stanza of the poem in this following English poem represented briefly about four seasons.


                           Moreover i would like to share one Gujarati poem. This poem interpretation about Indian Riligious. In this poem,poet used archetypal character like as, Temple, Sun, Moon, poet etc.

                                  Thank you.
