Metaphysical poetry

 

Metaphysical poetry

The term Metaphysical poets was coined by the critic Samuel Johnson to describe a  group of 17th-century English poets whose work was characterised by the use of conveits  and by a greater emphasis on the spoken rather than lyrical quality of their verse. These poets were not formally affiliated and few were highly regarded until 20th century attention established their importance.

Characteristics of metaphysical poetry

(1.)The poet Abraham Cowley, in whose biography Samuel Johnson first named and described Metaphysical poetry.

( 2.) The diversity of style among poets was magnificent as compared to others.

( 3.) Tme poets of the meta physical era were known as Baroque poets.

(4.)  Once the Metaphysical style was established, however, it was occasionally adopted by other and especially younger poets to fit appropriate.

As of by the study of these immense qualitative poetry which are also included in our syllabus i personally came to know about the effectiveness of the nature of the poem and its hard core

Thank you

Macbeth

Macbeth

Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was probably first performed in 1606. It was published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book, and is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy. 

In the play, Macbeth is a Scottish general under the rule of King Duncan. Three witches tell Macbeth that he will become king of Scotland. Macbeth is spurred by his ambition and his wife, murdering Duncan and acceding to the throne. His reign is bloody and tyrannical and is ended by the combined forces of Scotland and England

Shakespeare's tragedy with modern absurd theatre

The term “absurdity” is very well known in literature. As we compare macbeth with the absurd manner we will find  that
In present story also there is hopeless situations and meaningless actions thats what absurd is but with Shakespeare's play this got very famous and also tactful.

changes which i  like to make

Firstly i will make the characters more drafty than shown in the story however it is impossile to match whith Shakespeare's presentation but it will push the situations as per the charactets need and will reflect the same.

Ambition in 21st century

In 21st  century we regard ambition as modernisation and refer it as "good"thing but in Shakespeare's time it is not a positive thing it probably leads to counter force and at tme end as revenge!


21st century versus 17th century learning lesson

It is abvious that 21st century has much  more things compare to the 17th  century in terms of facility  and technology but in literature touch i would  say 17th  century was best because it has much more meaningful content than that of now.

play  relevant in our times  

The present century has faced a drought in thinking activity ultimately in literature because now a days stories and the  content is not of peace but related to harshness which is a negative sign for todays world.

Thank you.
