What Is The Role Of Poetry By Jayanta Mahapatra

While reviewing “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, it should be noted that the key is the rhythm of the language. The first, second, and fourth sentence rime while the third sentence of each rimes with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd sentence of the next stanza. In relation with the cryptic language draws the question, there is a more sinister back drop of loneliness and depression in this poem much deeper than the level of nature orated by the Narator.

Poetry is often regarded the genre of the elite, but just as often champions are oppressed. Discuss with a detailed reference to two or more poems.

It goes without saying that Rabindranath Tagore is perhaps the most outstanding and the most widely-known among Indian poets. Tagore, we must remember, was not only apoet, he was also a novelist, a short story writer, a dramatist, a painter, a musician and a critic of distinction. He wrote a large majority of his poems originally in Bengali, and translated some of them into English, but it is also on record that he wrote a few poems originally in English. Tagore’s novels and short stories are rightly looked upon as social or sociological documents because what he seeks to give us through them is a picture of the contemporary human society. In spite of the element of romanticism that we get there we may describe them realistic in their own right.

However, it is much easier to read about man and do nothing, than to see it and do nothing. One should be aware of the freedom expressing one’s convictions boldly and forthrightly. Whether it is about mankind or not. Positive or negative ideas are always shown. They can uplift the human spirit or condemn it. Society picks out individual ideas and throws away what might seem too radical. One must wonder why. Is there something we need to know, who knows. It seems that in a country were freedom of speech is promoted, it is also taken away. On must push forward for new knowledge. Whether it comes from societies rejected ideas or not. Poems can be or are the most pure form of expression. It can do many marvelous things to man.

Since the inception of writing, many artists have used their creative penmanship to express themselves. From journal articles to poems, countless texts have been written and printed.

The utility of poetry has been debated for thousands of years; around 2,500 years ago Plato called for it to be banned for its lack of utility. Plato’s views on poetry were not wrong; looking at it from a purely practical point of view, poetry is not a necessity. It is incomparable to what society considers essential – medicine, technology, leadership. If there were an apocalypse in the future, and we could select only a few people to survive it, the poet would not stand a chance. And yet, this is not necessarily a bad thing. When something is considered useful, it must always be useful; there is a lot of pressure on scientists to continue to invent, and continue to help. This pressure to be productive and to consistently strive for perfection is not placed upon the shoulders of poets, who must understand that their craft is not, rationally speaking, necessary for survival. Along with society’s acknowledgments, the philosophers and engineers, Plato’s logical giants – the Goliaths of the world – will also get its expectations. The poets, like David from the biblical story, will match the Goliaths by using a different strength, not the tool of pragmatism. They are underestimated, and the lack of expectations on them gives them their strength: the room to be foolish, to be blunt, and to be imperfect. In short, poetry is useful because we do not think it is; as Sylvia Plath’s brutally truthful poems demonstrate, in poetry there is freedom to

This essay focuses on the theme of forbidden love, The God of Small Things written by Arundhati Roy. This novel explores love and how love can’t be ignored when confronted with social boundaries. The novel examines how conventional society seeks to destroy true love as this novel is constantly connected to loss, death and sadness.
