It presents for our turbulent times. he is use of complex symbols and imagery adds richness and variety to the texture of the poem. It is full with allusions to myth, ritual, religion, history-both past and present. These things make the poem itself a virtual “waste land”.

About the Author 

  

                           T. S. Eliot, The greatest modern English poet, was an American by brith and an Englishman by adoption Born at st. Louis, Missouri, U. S. A., he became a naturalized British Subject in 1927. As such he had the blending of the best of the American blood and the English intellect. He combined in himself strange and opposing characteristics. He came to possess a many sided personality. 

The west land 

T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” is by far the most representative poem of the 20th century. It exposes the very soul of the modern generation with all its horrors moral, spiritual and intellectual bankruptcy, disillusionment and waste. Eliot wrote the work not merely to understand the war but he wanted to show spiritual degradation through this poem. The west land is divided into five parts like… 

Ø The Burial of the Dead

Ø A Game of chess

Ø The fire sermon

Ø Death by water

Ø What the thunder said etc.

                       " The Waste Land" is a multilayered poem in which several things can be included to study critically, they are given 

Theme of the poem

Myth in the poem 

Title of the poem 

Symbolism in the poem

                  So, we can see many particular thing in the poem the west land by T. S. Eliot. 

Theme of the poem 

              “The Waste Land” possesses many theme and all these themes have been very well elaborated by T.S Eliot, who conveys these all themes through symbolism and of course with the help of various mythical technique, here in this poem “The Waste land”, T.S Eliot indicates his ideas so it is very much difficult to understand this poem at a first reading but an individual has to read twice or thrice then and then he/she can grasp the central idea of the poem.so we are find the major theme of the poem like. 

• Love 

• Lust

• Death

• Spiritual degradation 

• Rebirth

1] Love 

              There are some references regarding the theme love in this poem. The first part of the poem “the burial of the dead”, in this part we can see some reference to Tristan und Isolde. The second part of the poem is “The Game of chess”. In this part there is a reference to Cleopatra and to the story of Tereus and Philomela suggest that love in the poem “the waste land”. It is often destructive. The characters Tristan and Cleopatra die while Tereus rapes Philomela and even the love for the hyacinth girl leads the poet to see and know “nothing”.

                      Love is the main theme of this poem. Here in the poem many references can be noticed such as Tristan and Isodle in ‘Burial of the Dead’ and Cleopatra in a ‘Game of Chess’ and to the story of Tereus and Philomela suggests that love in the waste land is often destructive.

 2) lust

                    There is the most famous episode in the poem” the waste land”. It involves a female typist’s sexual relation with a “carbuncular” man. In this poem Eliot represents the scene as something similar to a rape. This chance sexual encounter carries with it mythological luggage the violated Philomela, the blind man Tiresias who lived for a time as a woman. There is sexuality goes throughout the poem “the waste land”. It takes the center stage as a cause of calamity in the part “the fire sermon”. Here in this poem the poet acts as a lawyer “a moment’s surrender” as a part of existence in “what the thunder said”.

                          The sexual sins of the king fisher and his soldiers laid waste his kingdom, and ancient Thebes was laid waste because its king was guilty of the sin of incest. Sexual violence has always been there. Philomela was raped and her tongue was severed so that she may not reveal the crime. Reference to Elizabeth and Leicester in the song of the daughters of the Thames shows that sex relationship in the past also has been equally futile and meaningless.

3] Death 

                           Death is the major theme of this poem as two sections of this poem ‘The Burial of the dead’ and ‘death by water’ refers or indicates to this theme. What complicates matters is that death can mean life so in other words one cans say that by dying, a being can pave the way for the new lives. Therefore the death is the central theme of this poem.

                         The poet asks his friend: “and the same way Christ, redeemed humanity and there by gave new life. The doubtful part of the poem is between life and death allusions to Dante, and especially in the limbo-like vision of the men flowing across London Bridge and through the modern city.

4] spiritual degradation 

                         T.S Eliot has expressed what he felt about his land in The Waste Land and how people gradually lost faith in God and spiritual decay is the main theme of the poem as because of it only his land is waste land. In modern society there is a decay and spiritual degeneracy whenever the sexual function is prevented. So Spiritual Degradation can be taken as the main idea of this poem.

5] Rebirth

                     We can see some images of the Christ along with the many other religious metaphors, rebirth and resurrection as central themes. The waste land lays fallow and the fisher king is powerless. The new beginning is that they needed something. Here we can take help of water, for one water can bring about that rebirth but it can also destroy. The poet turns the waste land in heaven with the climatic exchange with the skies: “Datta, Dayadhvam, and Damyata.” The poet’s sight is essentially of a world that is neither dying nor living. 

6] The season 

               The poem opens with an invocation of the month ‘April’, “April is the cruelest month.” The season spring is depicted as cruel is a curious choice on Eliot’s part. As a paradox it informs the rest of the poem to a great degree. The life brings also death. It brings the seasons fluctuate from one state to another. They maintain some sort of stat is not everything changes like history. In the end of Eliot’s world hangs in a perpetual limbo, waiting the dawn of a new season. We can see some aspects of seasons in the life-in-death, a life of complete inactivity, listlessness and apathy. That is why winter is welcome to them and April is the cruelest of months. It reminds them of the stirring of life and, they dislike to be roused from their death-in-life.  

7] water 

                   The waste land” lacks water and water also promises rebirth at the same time however water can bring about Death. T.S Eliot sees the card of the drowned Phoenician sailor and later titles the fourth section of this poem ‘Death By water’ when the rain finally arrives at the close of the poem it does suggest the cleansing of sin, the washing away of misdeeds and the start of a new future, however with comes thunder and therefore perhaps lightening.

Title of the poem

   T.S. Eliot has represented his reaction in the form of this poem entitled “The Waste Land”. It is a symbolic poem composed in the style of poetic esotericism, “Formally” the symbol has been described as a much of ideas and a poetic cryptogram. As such it is the poem of myth and symbols of a series of trains of thoughts whose parts look unconnected with one another.

          The title of the poem “The Waste Land” has been inspired by Miss Dessie L. Weston’s book from Ritual to Romance. It refers to a waste land described in one of the Grail Romances. The Land was ruled by the fisher King.

          He along with his knights ravished curtail maidens who were guardians of the Grail mysteries. Because of that outrage, he become impotent and fell ill, and his land become waste materialistic world as the waste land, and its ruler as the modern materialistic man. He has profaned the mysteries of life and being, namely the soul and become spiritually impotent and has become waste spiritually. Therefore, it can be said that the title of this poem “The Waste Land” is appropriate and very well chosen by Thomas Stern Eliot.

• Myth of the west 

What is a Myth?

                  “A traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events”. 

          An exaggerated or idealized conception of a person or thing: ‘the book is a scholarly study of the Churchill myth’.

A fictitious or imaginary person or thing: ‘nobody had ever heard of Simon’s mysterious friend – Anna said he was a myth’

                  There are many myths which can be observed in this poem. T.S Eliot’s The waste land is an important land mark in the history of English poetry and one of the most talked poems of the same Age. Here T.S Eliot described the mythical background in his poem. This mythical technique can be elaborated as given below.

·         The Grail Legend

·         The King Fisher

·         Myth of Tiresias

The grail Legend:

                 The Myth about this vessel was that at have acquired medicinal and miraculous properties so the result is that it became an object for purity or one kind of devotion and worship. The lance used to pierce the sides of Christ and kept with it. But a time the original Grail was mysteriously disappeared and many of the bold Knights staked their lives and them searching for this vessel. It was generally believed that the grail was sometimes could be found in the sky as the floating saucer but it could only see by those, Knights who were virginal beauty. 

Myth of Tiresias:

                   Here in this poem this myth often comes up to the end of this poem. Tiresias is represented as a bi-sexual in The Waste Land as he was blind but he has the gift of prophecy and immortality. Many stories are same like Tiresias story. According to one story this wise Theban soothsayer in his youth once saw the goddess Athena naked in a pond and goddess struck him blind but his mother was a friend of hers so she bestowed upon him. According to Eliot, Tiresias comes out as the central figure through this poem, what Tiresias sees is the substance of the whole poem. The importance of Tiresias is complex and varied but it is connected with history with the story of King Oedipus, Thebes the classical legend of a waste land.

King Fisher:

                   According to this myth King Fisher was the prince named King Fisher. IoIt was one of the regions where Grail worship had been anciently vogue, and a temple Known as Chapel Perilous, still stood there, broken and dilapidated, as a mournful memorial of what once was, but later had ceased to be. It was said that the lost Grail was hidden in this chapel. At that time the king himself had become a physical wreck, maimed and impotent, as a result. It was whispered, of a sin committed by his soldiery in outraging the chastity of a group of nuns attached to the Grail chapel..

Conclusion :- There are many themes. They are very helpful to understand the whole poem very easily. There are some important aspects remain in themes so themes can be important to study any other texts.

Film screening Harold Pinter's ' The Birthday party'

 Hello readers!

                      Here I am going to wrote about ' the Birthday party' by Harold Pinter. The film directed by William Friedkin, a 1968 Film in which our professor Dilip Barad sir gave task to interpret the movie.

About the Auther 

                              Harold Pinter was a British playwright, screenwriter, director and actor. He got Nobel prize winner Pinter was one of the most influential modern British dramatist witg a writing career that spanned more than so years. He was a sprinter and a keen cricket player. Acting in school plays and writing poetry.

                              Here is some question about the movie screening task. So, lats see

1) Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?

Ans :-                     In the movie I think directer do not want to change the tone of the genre of the play in the movie. ' The Birthday party' is a comedy of menace and it means a dangerous or threatening quality. So, if director show Lulu's scene then it seems some what romantic but here, in the movie director shows us a very threaten scene of rape in blackout so this genre keep it quality so two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie. Then here we can say that Lulu's scene is became a part of comedy in the movie.

2) Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?

Ans :-            yes, according to my opinion movie is successful to given us the effect of meance. In the movie two strengers are there. Both wants take Stanley with them. And that's why they creates a difficulty for him. They mentally touched him. When Stanley knew That both strengers came. At that time he does not like. He don't want to meet with them. And he hides himself when both are came. He feels something around is happens. That's why he don't want to meet with them. At that time fear generates in Stanley's mind for these two strengers.

3) Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the text?

 

Ans :-                      here we can find door knowing scene. May be, throughout the movie we can find the effect of lurking danger when door knowing and in the interrogation scenes. And that's maybe he wants to hides something. That's why he feels fear. He wants hides himself when both are came. He becames mentally upset.

4) What do you read in 'newspaper' in the movie? Petey is reading newspaper to Meg, it torn into pieces by McCain, pieces are hidden by Petey in last scene.

Ans :-                     In the movie we can see that  the newspaper became useful and the symbolical things in the movie. In the first scene we see that petey read news paper and meg doing household work so in this we can say that newspaper stand for intellectual personality and in other way we can say that petey is more connected with currect scenario of the outside world when meg in limited to the house another interpretation is when we see the maccain torn the news paper into pieces it shows the I'll motive of him that he wants to destroy Stanley as newspaper.

5) Camera is positioned over the head of McCain when he is playing Blind Man's Buff and is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage (trap) when Stanley is playing it. What interpretations can you give to these positioning of camera?

Ans :-       camera movie is very important in a play in the movie. Because its focus on the situation. In the movie camera is positioned over the head of maccann when he is playing Blind man's Buff and is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage when stanley  is playing it. When Stanley is playing the game, it shows that stanley can't escape from the trap created by two strangers.

6)"Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue, where people are at the mercy of one another and pretense crumbles." (Pinter, Art, Truth & Politics: Excerpts from the 2005 Nobel Lecture). Does this happen in the movie?

Ans :-            yes in the movie also happens. In the movie when Peter reading the newspaper and avoiding and hiding something. It likes a politics of him. And both the strengers forces stanley. So we can connect this with America and other countries for example when many Muslim countries have care and love for other Muslim countries but when America opposes any country like Iran and Iran then Saudi Arabia can not do anything like petey, meg can not do for stanley because power make them understand.

7) How does viewing movie help in better understanding of the play ‘The Birthday Party’ with its typical characteristics (like painteresque, pause, silence, menace, lurking danger)?

Ans :-           viewing movie help in batter understanding of the play because when we read the play and watching the movie there is a difference is there. In the movie the atmosphere, The sound, expression of characters creates a interest, when we watching a movie it's becomes easy to understand, we feel fear of stanley and his anxiety through the movie. We feel the silence is there, but within storm of fear is there things becomes alive, through the movie.

8) With which of the following observations you agree:

o “It probably wasn't possible to make a satisfactory film of "The Birthday Party."
o “It's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin”

Ans :-                      yes, agree to the second point that " it's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin because it is very loyal to the text and in so many years other directors couldn't not make this kind of movie. I know some scenes are missing in the movie. But another scene also performed well by actors.

9) If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?

Ans :-                      In the movie Stanley's character is main. And in the text Lulu get a voice. She blames on McCann, that he rapes on her. But in the movie these scene is not there. So in the movie she not get the voice to speak. So this scene is necessary in the movie.

10) Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?

Ans :-   meg - shabana Azmi

              Peter - Anupam Khair

              Goldberg - Irfan Khan

               Lulu - Alia Bhatt

               Stanley - Rajkumar Rao

11) Do you see any similarities among Kafka's Joseph K. (in 'The Trial'), Orwell's Winston Smith (in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four') and Pinter's Victor (in 'One for the Road')? 

Ans :-             yes, similarities is there. In this three work. In these we find that political pressure is there. Ans the characters are in depression, or in some fear. And some character has power to rule over than and they becomes victims. And they become the puppet, and some characters feels anxiety. Power place important role.

                                               Thank you...

Here Is my video about breath 

Thinking Activity :- Waiting for Godot

 Hello readers!

                           Here I would like to wrote about " waiting for Godot" written by Samuel Beckett.

                               The movie " waiting for Godot" is directed by Michael Lindsay - Hogg. In this 2001 movie, Barry   megovern and Johnny Murphy played vladimir and Estragon, where as Lucky and pozzo were performed by Alan stand ford and stephan Brennan respectively.

 About the Auther

                           Samuel Barelay Beckett was born 1906 and he was died on 1989. He was an Irish writer. He write various from in English language. He write this from like play wright short story. He was famous as director, poet, and literary translator. He write in both English and French. He was famous English writer in his time. 

                             So here I would like to wrote some question about the movie screening for waiting for Godot. This was may sir 's blog so let's see question. 

 Q:- 1 What connection do you see in the setting("A country road. A tree. Evening.) of the play and these paintings.

Ans :-               In the picture we can find the picture is drawing by Caspar David Friedrich in September 5,1774. In the pic we can find the setting. The title of this painting is ' longing', here longing means deep desire for something. Waiting is connected with longing. In the painting two person see towards sunrise and sunset, it stand for bright hope and despair and in the play we find similar things. So when we look towards painting we find that in painting they have desire and then when we look towards Beckett's play both waiting for something. 

Q :- 2  The tree is the only important 'thing' in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act 2 on the barren tree- The tree has four or five leaves?

Ans :-       In the play three also becomes the symbol and when we find that without leaves of tree. That picture gives some nagative in our mind. Many time tree symbolically presented in the play when vladimir and Estragon try to be hebitate like tree. So, leaves stand for hope and despair. So in the play Estragon and vladimir both are waiting for Godot. And both are desire to meet with Godot. They are waiting first day that Godot never came. On the tree new leaves grow. So it gives hope. So tree gives positivity that another day Godot definitely come. So tree becomes a symbol of hope. 

 Q :- 3 In both acts, evening falls into night and moon rises. How would you like to interpret this 'Coming for night and moon' when actually they are Waiting For Godot?

Ans :-                          In this picture we see that both wait for Godot and wait also nightfall. They believe that every night and moon come that time we will waiting for Godot. In the play repetition are there. But when we read the play and watch the movie we find that repetition also becomes the part of play and movie. That repetition also suggests something. So that repetition also creates new meaning. So it becomes a part of text and movie. So in another way night also gives a hope to wait for another day. They also wait for nightfall. 

 Q:- 4 The director feels the setting with some debris. Can you read any meaning in the contours of debris in the setting of the play?

Ans :-              so In the movie director uses debris In the setting of the play. So in the setting debris there. Because of debris we cannot see the path. Here we can see about the debris in waiting for Godot. In the play we can see the setting of debris is Any area, non - dependent of locale, space, or contour, that contains the debris of wreckage, impact, sinking or other material that once constitude a complete object. 

Q :- 5  play begins with the dialogue "Nothing to be done". how does the theme of 'nothingness' recurs in the play? 

Ans :-               "nothing to be done" reflects the Existentialism. This theory shows that the life is meaningless, whatever you do it has no ultimate meaning But nobody came another day also. So in the play both act looks similar. No any plot main theme is waiting but nobody came both also not sure that who is Godot, and when Godot came, in which from, they does not know the appearance of Godot. So there is no beginning and no complete and. That's why nothingness there in the play. 

Q :- 6 Do you agree: "The play (Waiting for Godot), we agreed, was a positive play, not negative, not pessimistic. As I saw it, with my blood and skin and eyes, the philosophy is: 'No matter what- atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, anything- life goes on. You can kill yourself, but you can't kill life."(E.G. Marshal who played Vladimir in original Broadway production 1950s)?

Ans :-                        yes, I am agree with the play waiting for Godot. The point of E. G. Marshal that the play waiting for Godot is positive play in the sense of life is goes on we can not stop or kill the time. That's why sometimes they become hipper to prove their point of view. The play It make us aware about our own importance in our life more than God. People can do anything without fear of God. It shows nature of nature that doesn't effected by anything. 

 

Q:-7 How are the props like hat and boots used in the play? What is the symbolical significance of these props?

 Ans :-      Samuel Beckett used meany symbols in this play in which Hat and Boot are interesting symbols. We can say that hut represented the intellectual, mental, ability and thinking and boot represent lower and physical appearance. So it becomes a symbol of master salve relationship. One is in top position. So another is in bottom and that situation construntly happens in society. One becomes poor and another becomes rich.

 Q:- 8  Do you think that the obedience of Lucky is extremely irritating and Nauseatic? Even when the master Pozzo is blind, he obediently hands the whip in his hand. Do you think that such a capacity of slavishness is unbelievable?

Ans :-                      yes, The obedience of Lucky is extremely irritating and nauseatic. Because this slavish behavior suggest that you are binded or habituated with the this thing. Sometimes in very child age some becomes habituated to follow the rules of mester. Whatever their master says they does whatever their master. They can't say any word to master. They forgets their strength, they serve their master like God. 

Q:- 9 Who according to you is Godot? God? An object of desire? Death? Goal? Success? or...

Ans :-                        This play has many way of interpretation. We can interpret this play with every given points. But, according to me Godot is God because when we read the dialogue between boy and vladimir that time vladimir asked to the boys that  Godot is white? Then the boy said yes, so we can say that they talk about charist. In which we can say that Godot means Hitler because when vladimir asked to the boy.

Q:- 10 "The subject of the play is not Godot but 'waiting' (Esslin, A search for the self). Do you agree? How can you justify your answer?

Ans :-                           yes, I agree the subject of the play is not Godot but waiting, because in the beginning of the play both are waiting and at the end of the play both are waiting and at the end of the play both are waiting so waiting becomes the theme of the play. 

Q :- 11 Do you think plays like this can better be 'read' than 'viewed' as it requires a lot of thinking on the part of readers, while viewing, the torrent of dialogues does not give ample time and space to 'think'? Or is it that the audio- visuals help in better understanding of the play?

Ans :-                           yes, I think the play like this can be batter understandable if it will be read first than viewed. Reading of the play helps to understand the things in the better why. For the understanding of the deeper philosophy one has to read the play. Only reading also makes you boring because you will not be able to imagine vladimir and Estragon and their useless action. We have to done both the things in the class which enriched our understanding of the play. 

Q:- 12 Which of the following sequence you liked the most:

•  Vladimir-Estragon killing time in questions and conversation a while waiting
• Pozzo-Lucky episode in both acts
• Conversation of Vladimir with the boy
• 
  
  

Ans :-                  I like both the act first when vladimir and Estragon killing Their time at that time both arguing with each other and both tells deep philosophy of life in their conversations. In this I like the most is conversation of Vladimir with the boy. That Vladimir asked him whether they are happy or not. So, first conversation with the boy was the hope for Vladimir and second conversation somewhat despair and revealed Vladimir's selfishness. 

Q :- 13 Did you feel the effect of existential crisis or meaninglessness of human existence in the irrational and indifference Universe during screening of the movie? Where and when exactly that feeling was felt, if ever it was?

Ans :-               yes, we feel the effect of Existential crisis or meaningless of human existence in the irrational and indifference universe. In Existentialism person believe in real existence then and then they believe, they also does not believe in any proof. They believe in real experience. So when never see Godot, they never met Godot, they never talk with Godot, then still both are waiting so in Existentialism it becomes meaningless. 

Q :- 14 Vladimir and Estragon talks about ‘hanging’ themselves and commit suicide, but they do not do so. How do you read this idea of suicide in Existentialism?

Ans :-                 In Existentialism suicide is best art ever done. After happens everything, there is a need of national thinking, that is suicide. It is a favorite solution when feeling of absurdity came in life. In this play Vladimir is a strong believer of Christianity and suicide is the sin in Christianity and we also can say that Estragon and Vladimir avoid suicide because they have hope for Godot. 

Q :- 15 Can we do any political reading of the play if we see European nations represented by the 'names' of the characters (Vladimir - Russia; Estragon - France; Pozzo - Italy and Lucky - England)? What interpretation can be inferred from the play written just after World War II? Which country stands for 'Godot'?

So far as Pozzo and Lucky [master and slave] are concerned, we have to remember that Beckett was a disciple of Joyce and that Joyce hated England. Beckett meant Pozzo to be England, and Lucky to be Ireland." (Bert Lahr who played Estragon in Broadway production). Does this reading make any sense? Why? How? What?

Ans :-                  yes, we can interpret the political reading in which Vladimir stand for Russia, Pozzo stand of Italy, Lucky stand for England and Estragon stand for France, so, we can connect this to the world war in which these all countries destroyed by Godot means Germany that is why Vladimir asked to the boy that is Godot beating? Then boy replied yes. So we cannect Godot with ermany means title who destroyed many countries and killed thousands of people. So in this matter Ireland struggling a lot with England and recently we have seen British. 

Q :- 16  The more the things change, the more it remains similar. There seems to have no change in Act I and Act II of the play. Even the conversation between Vladimir and the Boy sounds almost similar. But there is one major change. In Act I, in reply to Boy;s question, Vladimir says: 

"BOY: What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?

VLADIMIR: 

 Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw us. (Pause.) You did see us, didn't you?

How does this conversation go in Act II? Is there any change in seeming similar situation and conversation? If so, what is it? What does it signify?

Ans :-                In act I Vladimir said to boy That tell Godot that he Had seen both them and they are waiting for him. So, here vladimir takes about both vladimir and Estragon while in second act vladimir told the boy that tell Godot that you saw me, so here vladimir talked about his self he does not mention. He name of Estragon. So, in act 2 Vladimir seems selfish.

Existentialism 

 

Existentialism Video Description 

 

Video :- 1

     

                           In the first video we find the meaning of Existentialism. There are Many philosophers, we can she it Existentialists who have given their philosophies on the idea of Existentialism. All know define the Existentialism by je suis Existentialism. Associated within is not coinciderd to the face Existentialist. This are the faithful companion. Believing and not believing in God that time we look at individuality, freedom and passion. Existentialism is not the conflict and struggle with other people. But it is an individual struggle with the universal ideas.

                            This video is about the philosophical suicide and the myth of sisyphus. The cause of the death is absurdity. Meaning of life is the most important camus individual act. He says relation of suicide act. Absurdity face in the question. Because of life is absurd. Try into common belief refusing to grant meaning to life. We know that this divorce between man and this life, The actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity. All healthy men having thought of their own suicide, it can be seen, without further explanation, that there is a direct connection between this feeling and the longing for detah.

Feeling of the absurd philosophical suicide 

   

                            The feeling of the absurd is not, for all that, The notion of the absurd. It lays the foundations for it. People try to escape from this absurdity because other one can live in a physical suicide on a physical suicide, individual state of mind needs to stay her or himself pertinent state of individualine, Sudha question of God and it is stand in front of us that one can her rational and can free for the all kind of structures of society.

                          In this video the very well know concept of dadaism and Nihilism denotes idea of life so that basic meaning of dadaism is a quest for change or creation is the primary goal of the Daizam and the IT arises. The absurd doesn't frightened me because, from a more elevated point of view, I consider everything in life to be absurd.

                                In this video we can see there exist racialisam is a very gloomy philosophy then an anxiety disappear absurdity can tack place and we never faced this argument in the arena of Existentialism. Existentialism is often accused of being a gloomy philosophy while there's a truth to this claim, we must look at the whole picture.

                           In this video, I briefly explain why  Existentialism and nihilism are two distinct movements. Many people says Existentialism and Nihilism are the same thing, but actually not very meaning of Nihilism is that something which is loss of individuality. Nihilism is a concept of passively accept the life. Also give the new concept that responsibility to fight against suicide call rebellion.

                               In this lacture we look at the history of Existentialism examine what for Existentialists is the key concern of philosophy, discuss the phrase existence precedes essence, and differentiate between Existentialism and Nihilism. 

Video :- 8 

  

                           The clear concept of Existentialism is that we do not need to believe in the constructions and rule we have own disciplines and ruled social constructions and already Seth rules don't it have the universal morality which leads that governs all of us. In this video I get know very interesting concept and I am very impressed with it that it is " ubermensche" which is connected with what's good and bad. 

Video :-9

                         This video is a fairly personal description of what attrects me to Existential thinking, and of waht I get out of it. This one is also something of a companion - piece to my recent video on Existentialism and human development. It is a kind of quest between good or bad for to be or not to be in a general sense we can say that it is a fight between mind and heart of a person. 

Video :- 10 

                       The last video we can see this was a idea of Existentialism is that waht gives life meaning what is the meaning of life, what is the purpose of life. Existentialist every meaningfulthing is a meaningless here we can find the concept of Nihilism, connected with the belief of ultimate meaningless of life. In this particular last video I like the concept of theory of theology.

Which video I like the most & Why 

                         I like last video because here video about our life meaning the video about the meaning of life what is the purpose of life.
