The Scarlet Letter and Movie Kya Kehna


Screening  Kya Kehna in the context of The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Scarlet Letter: A romance is a work of historical fiction by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850.
Hester Prynne is a protagonist of the novel The scarlet letter and Priya Baxi (Preity Zinta) is a protagonist of Kya Kehna movie.
                   

Movie Kya Kehna is Dealt with Taboo. Similar kind of story we could find in The  Scarlett Letter. In this film, Hester same situation or problems face in her life. In Scarlett letter. In Scarlett letter, we could find that how that time of supper was so much Orthodox even they gave punishment to the women. Because that time any women pregnant before marriage support time of society called sin. Another point is that in both movies "Scarlett letter " and "Kya Kehna " we could find upper-class people always escape from all the people.

Priya Baxi finds out that she has an admirer, Rahul Modi whose love she acknowledges. Priya loved once warn her that Rahul is not a nice guy but she disregards this and continues to go around with Rahul. The situation goes out of hand one day when Priya finds out that she is pregnantly prompting her to ask Rahul to marry. It is here Priya will get to find out how she loved once were right about Rahul since he declines marriage; an attempt to involve  Rahul's parents in this matter only worsen things leaving  Priya with two options either abort the baby👶 or give birth to it which will spoil her and her family's reputation in society.

As above we briefly summarize the movie. In kya Kehna movie hero of the film.  He does not face any kind of problems even he enjoyed life very well. And similar in Scarlett letter we also find that Arthur who is a lover of Hester and father of the baby girl. He doesn't face any problems from the society that is patriarchal power.

If we talked about the climax of the films than we can see that in Indian film "kya Kehna" Rahul regret his mistake but the end of the movie heroine marrieseseses with a childhood friend. And in "Scarlett letter " Arthur also regrets his mistake and he accepts Hester as a wife in front of a crowd that is brave of Arthur. So in both, the end of the film is totally different but I would like to say that in the Hindi movie "Kya Kehna " is more consideration for me.
In both movies, we could find the brave of women identity. They fight against the patriarchal power in both films.

The Light House: Thinking Activity

To the Lighthouse: Virginia Woolf                    1. How can you explain that 'what' Virginia Woolf wanted to say (for example, the complexity of human relationship, the everyday battles that people are at in their relationship with near and dear ones, the struggle of a female artist against the values of middle/upper-class society etc) can only be said in the way she has said? (Key: The 'How' of the narrative technique is to be discussed along with features of Stream of Consciousness technique which helps Woolf to put in an effective manner what she experienced in abstractions.) =). There are other techniques also through which, one can explain all the thing what Virginia Woolf wanted to say, but the technique of Stream of Consciousness seems the best to explain as the whole novel is highly psychological where the complexity of relationships as well as the problems in day to day life with near relations due to such circumstances are being tried to explore by

BA: TY: Play: The Hairy Ape

Play: The Hairy Ape by Eugene O'Neill Yank as a Tragic hero or 'Hairy Ape' as a modern tragedy Introduction:- Most of O'Neill's plays are tragedies 'Hairy Ape' is also a great tragedy. But it is not a conventional tragedy in the Aristotlelian tradition but a modern tragedy. It's subject matter and theme is the same, but it's form is different. It is a great tragedy with a great difference. Yank as a tragic hero: not a man of high rank- Aristotle laid down that the hero of tragedy must be exceptional individual, man of high rank, a king or a prince so that his fall from his greatness would arouse the tragic emotions of pity and fear. All Shakespeare's heroes fulfil this requirement. But Yank, the hero of 'Hairy Ape' is not a man of high rank. He is not a king or a prince or some extra ordinary human being. He is a common stoker whose business is to shove fuel into the furnace of the ships engine. For long hours, he has to work
