“Once upon a time there was a wife and mother one too many times” (Godwin 39). This short story begins with the famous opening, once upon a time, which foreshadows that the story line will be similar to a fairy tale. It raises expectations for the story that all will be magical and end happily. A typical modern-day fairy tale is that of a distressed character who overcomes an obstacle, falls in love with prince charming, and they ride off into the sunset; living happily ever after never to be heard from again. Godwin however, puts an unexpected twist on “A Sorrowful Woman”. This short story is a tale about what can happen when everyday roles take over our identity. Ultimately, this short story challenges societal expectations of marriage

The original The Ramayana is a great epic that has stood the test of time, and has been influential yet controversial throughout history. R.K Narayan’s version has been the same; his composition of stories adds another layer to the already plentiful themes, leaving the reader satisfied with his brilliant description and insight. Through Narayan’s constant comparison that parallels Rama to a perfect specimen, he is demonstrating a “Straw Man” argument. Its effect illuminates Rama’s flaws rather than his seemingly perfect composure. Narayan consciously chooses moments at Rama’s darkest hours to transform him into the relatable human figure he was meant to become.

Man’s hunger for power and status is not new. In his race for power and fame he sacrifices even his blood relations. Present paper highlights the same fact by preseting a review on Vijay Tendulkar’s play Ghashiram Kotwal, where Ghashiram sacrifices his own daughter and makes a deal with Nana Phadnavis and becomes the kotwal of Pune just to get power and to take revenge of his insult.

Poetry is a beautiful way to express the subtext within it, using literary devices which enhances the poem 's beauty. Poetry is considered to take distorted ideas and transforms it into beautiful words. Therefore, resulting the harsh truth being displayed in a form of a poem for readers to sink into another point of view. These creators called poets, are a group of people with a wide variety of experiences that an average person does not usually experience. They can create a more unified meaning in their masterpiece, without taking up 300 pages to exhibit their meaning, and still hold different interpretations by different readers. Poets are known to uncover the truth, which could be their experiences or reality based ideas, by beautifying the reality with literary devices to make it more relatable and enjoyable but still hold that very core of the meaning behind the poem. Poetry is a powerful vessel, between creator and reader, to change a person’s outlook of life or one’s surroundings. A poem can change moods, enhances one’s personality, gain a sense of people knowledge and become a bit more sensitive around one 's world. Even if poets are not aware of the power poetry holds, they still do it to convey an experience, a lesson or a journey. All of this relates to 'Love and Roses ' by Tracy Marshall, where the speaker is telling the reader a journey of their blinding love. The abusive relationship exists in the speaker 's life but is distracted by the idea of the

Adiga in ‘The White Tiger’, employs a juxtaposition between light and darkness to highlight the nature of Modern India; a society where morality is sacrificed in order to survive the ruthless milieu. Adiga through this binary highlights a contemporary India that has lost its long established hierarchy and also surmounted it’s moral structure. Balram’s description of “an India of Light, and an India of Darkness” subverts usual associations of “Light” with integrity, and “Darkness” with depravity. This is reflective of the disruption of the conventional moral framework within Indian society. As Balram further progresses towards the Light, his morals become distorted.

The Mahabharata is a famous Indian epic consist of more than 100,000 verses and 18 parvas (books) written by Ved Vyasa and is the longest Sanskrit epic ever written. Mahabharata, older of the two, is conveyed from composition of the Rig Veda, ancient Indian compilation of Vedic Sanskrit hymns. You also see Mahabharata mention few names of monarchs, mentors and priests that occurs in the late Vedic period sources. However, with passing centuries its historical root cannot now be established because new characters and incidents have developed and

This sort of intermingling led to the Indian warrior epic “Bhagavad-Gita” expanding the warrior ethos to a loftier plane - from the war against one’s neighbor to an internal struggle to reach one’s better nature as Arunja, the Gita’s hero, battles against enemies whose names can be translated as greed, sloth, and selfishness – all moral weaknesses that must be overcome.

In an imperfect world torn apart by religious wars, cultural differences, and a more recent social disconnect, perpetuated by the rise of technology which has helped to isolated individuals rather than globally unite them, it becomes apparent that evil is prevailing. It appears as though the modern individual has reason to fear the “other”, rejecting those different from their selves. Such demonization and aggression towards one another has allowed the evils of the world or “Ravana” to arise. Never before have people needed a reason to believe in a figure who could help rid the world of corruption, greed, desire, and ego created by Ravana, more than they do now. In William Buck’s version of the Ramayana, he retells the ancient epic of

The film about Ashoka’s life uses both historical and legendary aspects to tell a story. As a loosely biographical story, the Ashoka film’s ability to depart from a sketchy factual record actually puts us more in touch with the important thoughts and feelings of people from other times, people who lived “legendary” lives. For example, we don’t know for sure why Ashoka became so cruel, and this movie gives us an honest attempt to show us what might have caused Ashoka to feel so angry. Next, the movie depicts the battle of Kalinga as the turning point in which Ashoka starts on the path seeking redemption. Although we don’t know what exactly made him realize what he had done, the movie gives us an idea and once again puts us more in touch with

Poetry is a reduced dialect that communicates complex emotions. To comprehend the numerous implications of a ballad, perusers must analyze its words and expressing from the points of view of beat, sound, pictures, clear importance, and suggested meaning. Perusers then need to sort out reactions to the verse into a consistent, point-by-point clarification. Poetry utilizes structures and traditions to propose differential translation to words, or to summon emotive reactions. Gadgets, for example, sound similarity, similar sounding word usage, likeness in sound and cadence are at times used to accomplish musical or incantatory impacts.

The role of women in the Mahabharata makes an interesting and fascinating study providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their character. In the Mahabharata, four women play pivotal role in the course of events. The men play dice and wage wars in Mahabharata, as anywhere else; but it is the women who hold power and influence. It is the women who direct the course of events and unconsciously determine the fate of men and their generations to follow. The women are the true leaders of the Epic. These women displayed that the truly powerful do not cling to power. They knew when and how to wield it but also, even more important, to when not to use it.
