  The paper talks about Marxist analysis of ‘Othello, the Moor of Venice’ which will reveal how this literary work mirrors all ways in which individual subjects are subjects of material/historical circumtances and of the repressive ideologies that serve to blind us to the ruling power system. Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist,journalist and revolutionary socialist. Marx has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history, and his work has been both lauded and criticized. Marx is typically cited as one of the principal architects of modern social science. Marx's theories about society, economics and politics—collectively understood as Marxism—hold that human societies develop through class struggle. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable th...

         In many cultures of the world, women are victims of socio-cultural suppression. In their struggle for women’s freedom, feminists have argued that the plight of women in modern society cannot be attributed to natural or biological factors. Feminists are convinced that women are not inferior to men, and are advocating for autonomy and self-actualization for women in a male dominated society. The title of this paper is inspired from Gayatri Spivak’s work on Subaltern theories. This paper aims to analyze how society tries to maintain its control over minorities, here taking the case of Women, Aborigines and Dalits. Secondly how one can help them get their get voice. In addition to that we will also look into Aboriginal literature, what its form, how it is perused by the world, and what actions have been taken to fight the stereotypes.         Starting with Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak who i...

 'Children's literature' is a term generally used to cover all literature for children and adolescents, including oral literature, such as fairy tales and nursery rhymes, graphic narratives and young adult literature" (Bland, 2013). Friendship is a huge theme in children’s literature for the young audiences. Many books teach moral lessons on how to be a good friend, and how not to be a bad friend. They teach the importance of honesty, trust, mutuality, and compassion. Friendship themed books are perfect for young children because once they start school, they will need to learn how to make friends and maintain a good relationship with their peers.          Authors use their writings as a tool to get their messages about friendship skills out to the younger audiences. Many children’s books are available on the topics of friends, socializing, conversation, and playing together (DeGeorge). Authors who write about friendship hope to ...

As the title suggests this paper is based on Children's literature in Goa. The paper aims to discuss how local language can protect through children's literature, secondly what are the problems faced by the people who publish such literature and lastly it will discuss some selected stories. Also in this paper I won't be discussing the elements and history of children's literature as I have discussed them in my other paper.           I would like to start my paper by quoting Sahitya Akademi Award winner Shri Ramesh Veluskar encapsulates the importance of one’s mother tongue beautifully in these words: “A mother tongue for any individual is a natural expression; its spirit comes from within. Every other language that one learns as we grow is an acquired understanding of a new language. The most natural quality of one’s expression will reflect coherently in one’s mother tongue. That is why there is a need to safeguard and replenish...

For the first time ever I've come across a novel and a movie adaptation of it, which are equally good. It has become really difficult for me to select one over the other. Now I guess it's enough of me praising these works of fiction and let me state you the reasons why I love both the works.            A Walk to Remember is a novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks, released in October 1999. The novel, set in 1958–1959 in Beaufort, North Carolina, is a story of two teenagers who fall in love with each other despite the disparity of their personalities. A Walk to Remember is adapted in the film of the same name, becoming Sparks' second novel adapted to the big screen after Message in a Bottle in 1999. Sparks sold the film rights to Warner Bros. in December 1998, months before the publication of the novel. The movie was directed by Adam Shankman and produced by Denise DiNovi and Hunt Lowry for Warner Bros.; the film premiered on...

Myth come from Greek word Mythos which means "words" or more significantly "story", but it's a special kind of story that has two purposes that is to carry significance and staying power. Archetype on other hand comes from Myths or history that is archetypes are action, characters, objects carrying a significant meaning to it. Like using Sita's example as ideal wife, in another situations using her as good example of a feminist woman, who prayers to earth goddess to swallow her, rather then going with her husband. Now coming back to the topic of the topic of how these archetypes are still affect our society. My answer to this, is people use these myth and archetype by distorting it and presenting the part which benefits them to prove their point mostly to show how knowledgeable they are and secondly to maintain power over the "other". Indian literature is ancient and so is vast, It has talked about different acpects of life and different...

Everyday Sexism is a wide topic which is been discuss every since  the feminist movement has began. Initially women it were the ones who cried about how they face sexism on daily bases, but in past decade we can see rise in men movement, which unlike feminist movement is very subtle.          Before moving further with this paper I would like my readers to understand some key terms which will then help us to come to a proper conclusion. Firstly the term Feminist, it's a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. Feminist theory, which emerged from feminist movements, aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women's social roles and lived experience; it has developed theories in a variety of disciplines in order to respond to issues concerning gender. Secondly the Men's Right ...
