Charlie Chaplin film screening

Today our department has organised the movie screening of '#The_Charlie_Chaplin_in_Modern_Times'. Charlie Chaplin was an English actor, comedian and film maker whose work in motion pictures spanned from 1914 until 1967. During watched the movie we can note some points like: #Minimum_use_of_language #controversy_with_great_artists #comic_tone... This movie is very comedy but it tells a tragic story. And we can find the reflection of industrial society in the movie. We can find that on that time people were jobless. They were hungry but they couldn't get enough food. We can find lust for work and food. When the movie is started, Charlie showed three frames of reality: clock, sheep, and crowd of people. That time was also known as great depression. There was a one scene in the prison of knitting. When women had not freedom for writing or express their opinions or feelings they were doing knitting. But in the prison, a prisoner was knitting. It is also a symbolism. We can find poorness. Charlie and the girl always dreamt of a home, fresh farm food, fresh milk, etc.. Charlie and the girl had to face so many troubles but at the end we can find the hope in their eyes. At the end in the movie, we can see a long road and mountains which indicates the happy journey and hope. There are two symbols we can find in this movie: symbol of jobless and symbol of food. Everyone had run for jobs and foods even thiefs also came for food. The movie is very comedy movie but it tells a tragic story.

Thanks to Dilip Barad sir for organising this wonderful lecture on movie screening. Watching movies are not only for entertainment but it is connected with literature so whenever we watch the movie we should observe some academical points and analyse it with these points. After movie screening sir opened all the doors of our opinions and started discussions on those points which were told by the students.

Lyrical Ballads of Wordsworth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrical_Ballads L yrical Ballads , collection of poems, first published in 1798 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth , the appearance of which is often designated by scholars as a signal of the beginning of English Romanticism . The work included Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey,” as well as many controversial common-language poems by Wordsworth, such as “The Idiot Boy.” The “Preface” to the second edition (1800) contains Wordsworth’s famous definition of poetry as the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” and his theory that poetry should be written in “the language really used by men.” 1) What is the basic difference between the poetic creed of 'classicism' and 'Romanticism'?

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party In roduction:- Two of the notable facts about Harold Pinter were, first , that he was a Jew, born of Jewish parents, and , second, that he worked as an actor for some time before he became a playwright. Pinter was born on the 10 th October, 1930 in Hackney , a London borough. By the time of his birth the Jewish population of North London had risen from about 5000 in 1880 to about 40,000. The North London Jewry was known for its solid middle class respectability and religious conformity. In view of the economic insecurity which the family felt, Pinter’s father worked very hard, working twelve hours a day, making clothes. Eventually, however the old man lost his business and had to work for somebody else. Pinter never forgot this situation in his early life – the combination of calm and unrest beauty and ugliness; and these qualities permeate his work. Personal history had deeply influenced all Pinter’s writing.
