1.What is archetypal criticism?What does the archetypal critic do?
Archetypes determine the form and function of literary works, that a text's meaning is shaped by cultural and psychological myths. Archetypes are the unknowable basic forms personified or concretized in recurring images, symbols, or patterns which may include motifs such as the quest or the heavenly ascent, recognizable character types such as the trickster or the hero, symbols such as the apple or snake, or images .
Archetypal critics find New Criticism too atomistic in ignoring intertextual elements and in approaching the text as if it existed in a vacuum.
2.What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of 'physics of nature' and 'Criticism to literature'?
North Frye is comparing 'physics to nature' and 'Criticism to literature '.Physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature, Physics is a systematic study of nature. In the study of physics it's not only about nature,but similarly criticism is the study of literature . Criticism, Frye explains, is essentially moving when it moves inwardly, towards the structure of a text; it is tending to move away from a centre ,when it moves outwardly, away from the text and towards society and the outer world.This things North Frye is trying to prove in an analogy of 'physics of nature' and 'Criticism to literature'.
3. Share your views of criticism as an organized body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.
According to me History, literature, and philosophy are the central elements of the humanities. They interlinked with other. History and literature are the essential studies of the humanities because we can be able interpret human experience. To the extent that we are knowledgeable about these subjects, we are better able to communicate with one another.When we study literature and history together, we can reunite two fields of learning stories written in the past, and the story of the past itself that should never have been pulled apart.
4.Briefly explain inductive method with illustrations of Shakespeare's Hamlet's gravedigger's scene.
Inductive is used to describe reasoning that involves using specific observations, such as observed patterns, to make a general conclusion. This method is sometimes called induction. The grave digger scene is the best example for inductive method The gravediggers scene in Hamlet is clearly foreshadow that more deaths will occur which shows something more tragic will happen.
5.Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to music, painting, rhythm and pattern. Give example of outcome of deductive method.
Deductive method involves moving from general to specific. As we can see music has rythm and painting has pattern. By hearing music we can't understand it in one time . But seeing painting we can understand it easily. So like that literature seems to be remediate between music and painting.
6.Refer to the Indian seasonal grid (below). If you can, please read small Gujarati or Hindi or English poem from the archetypal approach and apply Indian seasonal grid in the interpretation.
