OD 1 - Oneness of literature

Oneness of Literature

Literature is like a vast sea. In the literature, there are many things included. We can not define in a simple phrase.

We studied in Eliot's Tradition and Individual Talent. In this essay the past and present things, they both are equal. This form is arranged in an ideal way.
Literature is connected with each other, all those are already written in myth, characters, traditions, symbols, art, etc. And all those being written in the current situation, metaphor and new way or different perspectives.

Another part is 'Art' does never change its manifestation change in colours, moods, symbols, words all are same as it was and at it is. Content is the same but the way of art, expression and creativity, they all are changes with time. The same way in literature, skeleton or archetype of literature is similar but a way of putting is different perspectives and some kind of personal touches and another aspect of the way. , Also the theory of Archetypal criticism based on the idea that the whole of literature has the oneness of its existence.

“Every organized body of knowledge can be learned progressively, and experience shows that there is also something progressive about the learning of literature.”
- Northrop Frye

Theory of Archetypal criticism based on the idea that the whole of the literature has the oneness of its existence. All literature shares common DNA or Skeleton.

It is an online discussion with two examples. First is The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot and another is A Joke by Anton Chekhov. Both of them if we see the hidden meaning or try to read beyond words we can find similarities among them.

** Thank you..!!
