Northrop Frye-Thinking Activity







  1. What is Archetypal Criticism? What does the archetypal critic do?

Archetyple criticism is concerned  with the cycle and reiterating patterns of tradition,culture,patterns of action theme and images which are identity i the verity of works of literature as well as in myths,dreams and social rituals.
The term Archetypes signifies narrative designs, symbols, character, dreams, collective images, myths etc. are in literature. Simply we can say that archetypal it means represented things. For example Paradise Lost in which Apple is a symbol of knowledge. The Archetypal critics find out the symbols and archetypal images which recurrently happen in the literature.

2.What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of ' Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'?

 as far as physics and nature concerned hence frye wants to make endover of differnce between physics and nature in addition to that an individual can't have the whole cocepts.through learning physics while on the other hand he also says that though criticism one cannot accept that he/she does progress all things about criticism. 

 3.Share your views of Criticism as an organised body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.

 Criticism is an organized body of knowledge which mentions relation with history and philosophy. Philosophy is for idea and history for events. History deals with the events of past and the action, while philosophy is deals with idea and the knowledge. With the help of history and philosophy the writer creates literature. Thus, literature is connecting with history and philosophy.

4.Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's scene.

 The inductive method of analysis structural criticism and analysis. The close first section, Fry contends that structural criticism will help a reader in understanding a text in his analysis, he proceeds inductively. That is form of particular truth. The jealousy, Othello, in the Shakespearean play. This called inductive method of analysis under structural criticism and Fry disuses this in detail in this section of the essay.

5.Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to Music, Painting, rhythm and pattern. Give exam.ples of the outcome of deductive method.

 Deductive method means ‘ definition to examples’. As the thinkable point that some arts move in time and others are in space, for example music related with time and painting with space. And music with rhythm and painting with pattern but we may also speak rhythm of painting and pattern of music. And literature seems to between music and painting. So we may call the rhythm of literature is narrative and pattern is the verbal structure. 

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.
