Thinking activity on Hamlet

 Hello  friends
         
               We all familiar with name of Shakespeare.He was  a greatest dramatist in his time and also nowadays.Here my concern with  his  famous play Hamlet .Dr.Dilip Barad sir  gave us task upon the movie screening of Hamlet.Movie by Kenneth branch. To know more click here.



          Hamlet play is very famous play by Shakespeare Kenneth branagh made movie on this plane this movie is very near to the original play so let's discuss it.

1) How faithful is the movie to the original play?

        The Movie Hamlet by Kenneth branagh is more faithful to the original play, compared it with others movie. The movie is very faithful to play in manner of self talk and monologue. It's dialogues are also taken from original one which spoken by the characters in the movie some scene like,
     

Ghost scene 
Bed chamber scene
Play within play 
Prayer scene 
Nunnery scene 
Grave digging scene 
Duel between Lester and Hamlet 

        There is different in 20th century's Denmark and in the movie's Denmark because that time Denmark was not so rich as we seen in a movie.Then in original play Hamlet is a young scholar written from Oxford University about 20 years old,but in the movie Hamlet was middle age Kenneth branagh play hamlets roll by self.

2) After watching the movie have your perception about play characters or situation changed?

        After  after watching the movie according to my perception about Polonius and Gertrude. We know that she also want to be claudius so Gertrude also involved in King's Hamlet's murder but we can not see any  scene related her of involvement in the movie and also the character of Polonius,he is a chief counsellor of king Clodious  but someway by his role in movie we can't feel like that he has a responsibility of the counsellor.

3)  Do you feel 'aesthetic delight 'while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen ?If no, can you explain with reason ?

     Yes ,I felt the aesthetic delight, while watching the movie .One when Hamlet  accept that he loved  Ophelia during digging scene. Then when he want to know the name of his father's murdered.

4)  Do you feel 'Catharsis'while or after  watching movie?If yes, exactly when did it happen ?If no, can you  explain with reason ?

     While watching movie yes, I felt 'Catharsis '.when Hamlet was so possessive love for his father and that why he became a mad. Then ,Hamlet  express his love for Ophelia but now she is no more.pity and  fear that  emotion I have felt during the movie.

5) Does screeing of movie help you in better understanding of the play?

  yes this movie is very related to original play so it is very useful to see the situation from the Play through this movie and Character's expression specially the ghost scene and Hamlet spot about to be or not to be the play within place in also very well in the movie so he has the movie is very useful and faithful to understand the Hamlet by Kenneth to understand the Hamlet by Shakespeare.

6) Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?
     Yes. There are two scene.One is the Nunnery scene,kannath branagh  talking  in front of mirror.

Other one is the digging scene. Hamlet and the digger  man talk about the philosophy about death and so on. Click here to watch.



7) If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’?


8)In the beginning of the movie, camera rolls over the statue of King Hamlet out side the Elsinore castle. The movie ends with the similar sequence wherein the statue of the King Hamlet is hammered down to the dust. What sort of symbolism do you read in this? (Clue: In Book IX of 'Paradise Lost', Satan reflects on his revenge motive:       "But what will not ambition andrevenge; Descend to? Who aspires must down as low; As high he soared, obnoxious, first or last, To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils." Is it not King Hamlet's ambition to avenge his death responsible for the downfall of his kingdom which is symbolically pictured in last scenes?)
   This  movie is based on  the name of Hamlet who is the protagonist of the play  by  Shakespeare .In the movie  we can  see  the statue of King  Hamlet and also written name  of Hamlet but in a last scene the statue hammered down to the dust.we can give some possible view about that that revenge is  taken by Hamlet  to kill Claudius and death of  Gertrude also.Second is king Hamlet got salvation.after it also we can assume that because of the revenge king Hamlet's Hamlet also die.so the state fallen and  the new ruler is now there.
    


9)While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustrations

    In this movie  and in the original play we can  see  these approaches which are applied in both. 


Moral philosophical approach 
Formalist approach 
Historical approach 
Psychological approach 
Feminist approach 
Culture approach 
10)Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than other?Why? Give reasons.


      Feminist approach appeal me more than other. In this movie there are female characters Ophelia and Gertrude. They both are victimized by the  male dominated society. They both are huminated by the protagonist Hamlet .Ophelia also victimized by her father and her brother in case of love with a prince Hamlet.We can see that Hamlet also hurt her with his words during Nunnery scene and rejected her,polonius and cloudious also use like she is pawn for them.

Thinking activity on Metaphysical poetry



Hello, 

         In literature  there are many genre in poetry and prose.Both are written in different  genre so here my concern with the Metaphysical poetry.This is the thinking activity given by Dr. Dilip Barad Sir.


      
         Metaphysical poetry is little bit different than other poetry. Metaphysical poems are highly intellectualized used rather strange imagination, paradox and content extremely complicated thought by poet.
       Samuel Johnson first used the word 'Metaphysical poetry' in his book 'lives of the most Eminent English poets'in this book he wrote  about John Donne,George Herbert Richard Crashaw, Marvel and Henry vaughan.
  
  *Definition:-

    The word 'Meta' means after or beyond so in a literary way something is beyond that physical is metaphysical this word which can not defined by the science because of the  literary imagination of poet then also poet make the changes in reality and nature ,so here we can remember the objection of Plato about that poets took us in their imaginative World and in a fantasy.

 When we read the metaphysical poetry and try to understand them we have a questions about (1)reality of nature question about (2)perception imagination of poet with the (3) limitation of brain its puzzle of poem which week we cannot solve someway because of the limitation. 

    This kind of poems are not related with the religious and Science but it is a form of express the thoughts process of the poets mind  with their freedom to put their view and imaginative world front of us.

*characteristics:-

1)Metaphysical poems  present in a           dramatic form
2) Wit
3) Satire
4) Irony
5) Far fetch imagination
6) Carelessness in diction
7) concious attempt 




      Major Metaphysical poetes

John Donne 
George Herbert 
Andrew Marvell
Robert southwell
Henry Vaughan 
Thomas Traherne
Richard crashaw


                             John Donne 

      In the first half of the 17th century a group of poets emerge.who's poetry is known as the 'Metaphysical poetry' John donne the pioneer of this group. it also known as the school of Donne.
   
     They wanted to make their poetry look different from former poets. It was a conscious attempt to part with existent style of writing poetry and to cultivate in a new style
   
   The sun rising :-


           In this poem donne has made remarkable use of perfect images this is the famous Love poem The Rising Sun is the astronomer field utilised in poem for the theme of love your poet want to say that love is the superior than everything in this world so so never doesn't want that sunrise and disturb he and his beloved in this poem for first image which we find in the poem is mimic and on example off on performing art.

The flea :-

 

       The Flea is the very famous romantic love poem lover wants to convince his love to his beloved poet use the metaphor of flea we can see the exaggeration that lower says that the flea Sakthi him then his beloved so they become one already because their blood are together in the flea his argument things on the belief that body leaf its makes during sexual intercourse.

    This is the examples of metaphysical poetry by John Donne there are other poetry by him like 'Death be not proud', 'The dream',sweetest love'.

 In the sweetest love we see the sun astronomical image it is also a love poem and convince to love to his beloved. 

When thou sigh'st, thou sigh'st not wind, 
         But sigh'st my soul away; 
When thou weep'st, unkindly kind, 
         My life's blood doth decay. 
                It cannot be 
That thou lov'st me, as thou say'st, 
If in thine my life thou waste, 
         That art the best of me.




     George Herbert is is one of the metaphysical poet his poem Pulley is is very famous Bully is the religious metaphysical poem this poem about the unfinished Desire of human and unsatisfying despite having all the things he wants in this poem we can see the characteristic of turn off direct speech This line said by God. 

 "Let's us" said he "pour on him all we can "

To his coy mistress:-


          This  very well known poem This is also about the felling of love and lover wants to convince  his love to his beloved. He praised her beauty and try to make her his .

*Critical analysis 


   In the metaphysical poetry we didn't find imaginary world and fantasy. We can find exaggeration unreal world and nature this poem make a imaganary world.In this case we remember the objection of Plato that poetry is mimic and imitation. 

    Metaphysical poetry emerged because 17th century poets want to do differ then former poets like Shakespeare, Philip Sidney and others ,so a group emerged which is called as a school of donne Poems are not related with science and also science cannot define it because there is nothing like that Science can make the logic upon it.

   All the metaphysical well literate and degree holders wanted to exhibit their learning and scholarship and so they tried to differ from the former poets Samuel Johnson has one remarkable comment to pass on the poetry of metaphysical the comment is:
    
      "Their poetry stood trial of their fingers but not of the ear"

    In  john Donne's poetry  The Sun Rising  we can see the far fetch imagination because if you tell sun that don't rise it is not possible and it is against the nature and even impossible to happen. It is a feeling to express lover's love to his beloved.But in Death to be not proud is a love poem but very natural to talk about the death is  rest to delivered the soul into other body.
        
         If we talk about  The Flea and The dream both are different each other.
 One is felling of love with  so much exaggeration and other one is tell about the reality of world and the reality of dream.Donne said through this poem you can be more  happy in dream than in real life. The line like 

When thou sigh'st, thou sigh'st not wind,     But sigh'st my soul away ;
 When thou weep'st, unkindly kind,  
   My life's blood doth decay.... 

      Herbert wrote the poem named The coller.In this poem he camper his life with the spoiled alcohol .we can see the hyperbole is used in the poem also abrupt  opening with this line 

       "I struck the board and cried no more"

Richard crashaw
     
  He was an english poet.crashaw was an Anglican priest ,but then he converted to Roman Catholics.we can see in his poem address mostly religious and mystical theme. Here  his poem   'Love  horoscope'



    Here I tried to write some line:
       
                    'હાશ' થકી 

          પૂછયું ચાંદને,આમ જ રહીશ ક્યા સુધી?
          પેલા સૂર્ય પણ પૂછે, બસ આમ જ જગીશ મારા થકી?
          તુ તારું તેજ કેમ છુપાવે છે એ કહે જો જરા?
           કે રાખ્યુ એ તેજ કોઇ ખાસના મળવા સુધી?
           બધા જ પરિણામોની જેમ તારી  પ્રાંતમાં કયાં ?
           પૂછીશ જ હી ભલે  તુ સંતાય અમાસ થકી,
           જ્યારે  ફરી પૂનમની વેળા આવશે  ને આવશે તે,
           ત્યારે જ હું પૂર્ણ  થઇશ મળેલ  'હાશ' થકી.

Poet Vinod joshi's sairandhri"

   
   
         Hello friends here is the task about  poem by Vinod joshi "sairandhri "This my work here.Listen the interview

         Vinod Joshi is a famous poet from Gujarat India He is  also writer and critic He was born in bhoringda district Amreli on 13 August 1955. His father named hargovinddas and his mother named Leelavati His father also a Sanskrit scholar and pramukh in Panchayat.

            Vinod Joshi is critically acclaimed in Gujarati literature for the elegant female  sensibility  in the sounds rhymes of his 'Geet',Motifs in his poetry include in tense femininity solitude social status and indefinable Hindi video convert ine images of everyday reality and objects.
     
           'Parantu' his first anthology of poems was published in 1984 by the kavilok trust it was followed in 1985 by shikhandi the character from Indian Epic Mahabharata.
 
           'Tundil-tundika' another long narrative poem by him. 'Zalar vage zoothadi' is Vinod Joshi's most loved and Sought after collection of poems.Some famous  poems like 
     
   "સખી મારો સાયબો સુતો ફળીયે ઢાળી ઢોલિયો.."

 Other one is also famous 

    "કૂંચી આપો બાજી તમે કિયા પટાઝરે મેલી મારા મેયર ની શરણાઈ જી.."

     In 2018 Vinod Joshi published his poem "sairendhri" metrical poem composed in prabandh form with 7 contos 49 chapter and 1800 lines. It is based on Draupadi one of the major character of Mahabharata. He depicts distinct world of dthoughts and feeling as a woman during her exile using various metal like Chaupai and Dora critic Radheshyam Sharma notes the poem for its musicality figurative language is and its depiction of Shringar.


               Vinod joshi wrote this poem in Australia.The poet said in his voice that for a long time the Mahabharata's Draupadi  fallen behind him,to be in this world through the poets word.Drupadi's other name is sairandhri.She got this name when the pandvas were exiceled for 12 years and one more year as a 'Agyantvas'. They all lived in a Viratnagar.They all didn't  show their real identity.Here in this poem poet  talk about the aloofness of her.She also keep hidden her own identity to herself .

                In this world every person want to know

                          "Who I am ?"

           What is the identity and existence of self. So poet also indicate the 'lost identity'.
     
      In the first conto Sairandhri asked questions to herself  that she couldn't Find out herself as a women (Nari).
          In the second conto poet said behalf her in the poem that she want to marry with 'Karna' but she choosen Arjuna and after that she distributed in pandavas.Here again she didn't want that but she can't do anything.In a other words she kills her ambition.
       In conto 3 she thought about the freedom and into next conto Sairandhri thought that she didn't get the name of Queen and existence  as  a woman.
   Into conto 5 Sairandhri miss her best friend Lord Krishna.I like some line from the 6th conto that,

         "કીચક માર્યો એક પણ કીચક હજી અનેક
          ઇચ્છે નહીં નારી ,છતાં વિવશ કરે જે  છે."

 And the other lines from last conto is,

        "સહુએ સહુના સ્વાંગમાં નરવી નિજતા ખોઈ
            જ્ઞાત અને  અજ્ઞાતમાં અંતર હતું ન કોઇ "

       In his how poet draw the character of Sairandhri in his words.

         In conclusion we can said that Sairandhri is a metaphor for the women,who lived in that Mahabharata time and also in today's time. 
       


       

Post -truth

Hello  friends
   
    I'm come with the  task  by Dr.  Barad sir on Post truth.so here is my work...


When we take something and do something there are some questions starting with why? and what ?so when we are going to talk about this word 'post truth' let's see what is it.

Definition:-


    Relating to situation in which people are more likely to accept an argument based on their emotions and beliefs rather than on based on fact that is post truth according to Cambridge University.


 According to Oxford Dictionaries the late Serbian American play writer step desi first used the term post-truth in 1992 national

       There are  many eras but nowadays there is one is a Post-truth Era people give different name to this kind of truth. In 2016 Oxford University declared this word is a most using word.

      Post truth connected with politics also leaders try to get emotional attachment with the public so they can get more vote bank and the post truth is like be a weapon for them.

        Unfortunately even people don't want to know that what is truth? and what is post truth? They don't try to find out the real truth. Keep believe whatever the leaders said.

       Political leaders used this term like Donald Trump and  Narendra modi and by other also.Post truth is not a new born word but it's original came to history. When the printing press had came .Here one video in this given link click here.

   How we are arrived in a post truth era, when alternative facts replace actual facts,and feeling have more weight than  evidence.

Movie super30



Hello, 
   
                             Nowaday education is very important and and it is not limited to class only. So, our English department organised the movie screening of super-30 at Top3,Bhavanagar.

           Movie gives us a way of understandig.so movie is important as well as study.Movie inspired us and super-30 is one of them. This movie  by Vikas Bhal.It is based on Anand Kumar.He is a mathematician in Patna,Bihar.Ritik  roshan played his roll.We can see  the real situation of society about the education.Now education is became a midum of to earn money and those  who  are poor they can not afford the money for study. Anand Kumar gave them couching class in a free cost and 30 student pass out the exam of IIT.

                 Anand Kumar got gold medal for his performance in study.He want to  go abroad at Cambridge university.He makes the effort for it and used to go library to read journal

The manager asked him questions and told that he could not come here and not read the book.A peon give him advice that if he want to read book and general  his name should be in that book.Anand Kumar got the solution of math and he send it  to Cambridge university.His father was a post man and he said that 

      "राजा का बेटा राजा नहीं बनना, बनेगा वोही जो हकदार होगा।"
   After some time the letter from Cambridge he got, it was the admission letter of  Anand. In a general there was also name of Anand .

   He and his father  made the effort for collecting  money but unfortunately they couldn't and his father died.Now Anand kumar  start selling papad and earn money for his family.
    One day  he was going on bicycal and accident happened with a car. The car of lallan who  is the  person connected with Shri Ram singh who is the politician. lallan gave him offer to join his EXCELLENCE COACHING CLASS.lallan said

"आप हमारे द्रोणाचार्य बन जाईए,हम ऐक ऐक करके अर्जुन निकालेंगे अपनी ऐकेडमी से"
 This how Anand kumar earn the money.Anand situation now better then before.

The class is the way to business and get the money. They make education a business with the politics.

      During going to home,Rikshaman talking with him.He said taht it is like eklvya and Dronacharya.He said

        " कोन तोडेगा ये परंपरा? द्रौणाचार्य तो हमेशा राजा के ही साथ थे और आगे भी रहेंगे।एकलव्य का अगुंठा कटवाते रहेंगे  और अर्जुन को बडा योद्धा कहेलवाते रहेंगे ।"




                 Anand relize and he start his own coaching class without taking any kind of fees.He make class of 30 students and all are belongs to  the poor family and those all are have dreams to became something in thier life. Anand Kumar carve the way for them.
             But it is not so easy to do like this .There are many problems through he is passing,problem of money and food. But after passing some time he solved it too.

        Now lallan became his problem because of coaching class.Student of his class also want to study from Anand,but Anand don't want to go back lallan's class and in  his own class rich students can't get the admission. Lallan  gave Anand  threat and anand Kumar didn't give up.

"आपत्ति से ही आविष्कार होता है ।"

          He also sign contract but it was planned by lallan and he lose.  Lallan  and She's ram shigh  want to make away Anand from there way.lallan made the plan to murderd him.

            When Anand  Kumar going to give the tiffin to his students two persons were came and first they help him but then they shoot Anand.

            Anand's brother came to there and he brought him at hospital.
          Anand still not give up. Doctor start the operation and the all students saved his Guru with the vidhya  which is given by Anand kumar.

           Anand Kumar survived and next day  his all students went to give the exam of IIT. They all  got the admission in IIT institute.Anand Kumar  and his students got the victory .

"सारी पढ़ाई लड़ाई मे लगा दी "


Anand Kumar got the prize of best teacher from the president of India. 

       Now question is still that, every student who are aligeble they didn't get admission and because of their family problem and financial condition.We also  see  the bad politics in education,thry make it a tool to make money,but it's result can be very bad for the future generation and nation .

"राजा कौन बनेगा  वो जो राजा के घर में  पैदा हुआ और वो जो राजा बननेका हकदार है ?"

In this movie shri Ram  singh said One dialogue that ,

"शिक्षा  स्वर्ग का रास्ता है,स्वर्ग कैसे मिलेगा ?बिजनस कर के, आज केे डेट में ऐज्युकेशन से बढके बिजनस  कछो नहीं है ।"

Anand Kumar also said that 

"अमीर लोग अपने लिए खूब चिकना सडक बनाऐ  और  हमारे राह में बड़ा  बडा  गढे खोद दिऐ  वही गलती वो कर दिऐ, समय आयेगा तब सब से उचाँ ,सबसे बड़ा छलांग हम ही मारेंगे ...।
              This  movie is the mirror to them who think that education is not business.we called it 'VIDHYA'.Everyone has Right to education.if they are poor or rich.who make the hard work  they gain the Vidhya.

 " विद्या  न्यायदत्री,विद्या जगतजयती,विद्या विघ्नहरिणी ,विद्या सकलतारिनी,विद्या रिपुनीहन्ती...।"

Thinking Activity :Doctor Faustus


  
Hello

                                                                                                         I’m going to write blog about the thinking activity given by Dr. Barad sir on the “Doctor Faustus”.There are some questions which answer I gave  here, so let’s see them.

1)The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene what does it signify?

            This is the picture of Lucifer.who is the prince of the hell.The protagonist of the play Doctor Faustus sign the contract of to give the soul him after 24 years.At the end Faustus repenting from the depth of his heart.he now realize that he was on the wrong path.But there is no window to escape from the deeds and before his death he dies inside. We can see the tragic end of Doctor Faustus in this play.There are two thing one is GOOD and other is BAD.We symbolized them as GOD and EVIL.In this play the Lucifer the devil won so,the picture is about his triumph.he is happy to get the soul of Faustus.

2)If God present in the play?if yes,where and how?f No why?
            

 Yes ,God is present in this play,

3)What reading and interpretation can be given to this image with reference to central theme of the play dr.faustus?

            This is the picture about the Greek mythology.Daedalus is the father of Icarus.He was the master craftman ,creator of the Labyrinth.they both attempt to escape from creat by maeans of wings which was created by Daedalus from feathers and wax, Icarus warned by his father first of complacency and then of hubris,asking that Icarus neither fly too low or nor tooo high,if he does as his father says the sea’s dampness would not clog his wings or sun’s heat also not melt them.But Icarus did not followed his father's insruction and ignored  and flied too much close the sun.The sun melted his wax in his wings and he fall down  into the sea where he drowned,he sparkingthe idiom 

       “Don’t fly too close the sun”

This tragic theme of failure at the hands of hubris.which we can see in similarly in dr. Faustus.he also met his dath because of the hubris of knowledge and the hungur of the knowledge but he was on the wrong path.At the end he got the tragic end of his life

4) How do you interpret this painting?



    This painting about the Landscape with the fall of Icarus.It is a greek mythology.  He was fell at the corner in this picture.No one observed it because of the side metter.whether you rise or fall it is insignificant for so many people.farmer is busy with his work and shepherd looking the sky may  be he can see the Daedalus is still flying. But people do not mean with the fall of the man.


5)Read this article by Bhagat singh. In light of the argument made by Bhagat singh in this article,can you re-write last monologue of Doctor Faustus?



           We know the Bhagat singh as brave man and  he gave his life to the nation. According the article Bhagat singh was  an atheist, he rejected  the existance of GOD.He believe in effort and change the fake faith.Here my activity is,if Bhagat singh at place of Dr. fautus what  the last monologue would like be:


Bhagat singh was strong atheist. He did not pray to god

He never request to God to save his life and did not wraps.


          (Half an hour left to twelve)


Bhagat singh:O' Lucifer I don’t want to wait,come and take my soul with you.

 “ No Lucifer I shell never pray”


            I don’t believe in God I’m an atheist.Let be happy the brutish beast. I will not curse anyone even not myself. I'm not afraid with a threatening arm and angry brow.I’m not needed the pity and sympathy from anyone or nature.Stars ,mountain, hills come and see the last event of my life and hope the blood of God can not save my life.I’m not believe in blind faith because it is disaster.

O' lucifer don’t spare me.I'm ready to come with you and be ready you too. My quest of knowledge will continue.I wiil start it again. I don’t want be late so, the last half an hour go fast and let the book fire.O Mephistophilis ,O Lucifer I’m giving my soul to you….





6)summarise article discussed in the class:






  • Marlowe and God:tragic theology of dr.faustus

                       Critics of Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus spend too much energy seeing the      play as against the historical background and significantly  to the  modern condition.

     Harry Levin in The Overreacher, is correct comaprision Marlowe to Goethe.according to to Jung death of meaning in the mythic symbols of Chritianity was beginning at renaissance and Reformation period.He says “Mankind has never lacked powerful image to lend magical aid against all the uncanny things that live in the depths of the psyche”.Goethe’s faust as well as contemporary man,he want protect the people from plague and immoratal them he couldn’t.his desire and expectation run wildbu he lost the ability to see that it is not posiblewith the his hubris.as per A.K.Okerlund  point out that Faustus rejected the Christianity, thoughlike that of modern manwhich is based on deep psychological realities of time. Faustus ‘ neurosis he was wavering like the modern mass mind.He asked question to the mephistophilis about hell.he sing the contract and can not see the other side of coin.He can  not see the truth he  calls the military buildup :

 “ a deed in the name of pease”-“an obvious example of  neurotic doublespeak”



               Faustus has ego and he also not respect his new master.According to Jung mephistophilis is converse of Faustus and he  repressed the qualities of doctor as per his saying Mephistophilis is the dark shadow.Dr.faustus did seven dadly sin and he was on wrong path so his end became tragic.

               Acoording to Roberts ornstain Dr. faustusof Marlow’stestament of despair then we see also a prefect correspondence between the nihilism of Marlow’s art and life.

                                                             

  • Myth,phycology and marlow’s Doctor Faustus

              Many critics of Marlow’s Doctor Faustus spend their time and energy to seeing the play.Critics are also seeing the play as in modern condition.Faustus has hunger of knowledge,and it became his hubris and ego.He thought he is the one who has power to make the thing and man immortal but he even not make his life immortal.

             A way of seeing Faustus experiences with figures like Mephistophilis,Lucifer,Good and Bad angle,Mythical character Helen of Troy is as fantansy dramatizing conflicts whithin his psyche.Good and Bad angles are the  shadow of his ego and thoughts.At the one time he said that


“My heart is hardened:I cannot repent’


              But at the and we can see the condition of Doctor Faustusat the end he gave the soul to the devil,Lucifer.

               The play’s clear emphasis of the presence of these confused attitude indicates their importantce to the faustion psychology.

             Faustus is a paradigm of that aspect of modern man in which he is stuck between the disintegrating Christian myth and any potentially rejuvenating man.His inner tention,indeterminancyof will,and neurotic lack of order are in many ways “modern”
