Northrop Frye essay on the " Archetypes of literature", these essay understanding task it is given by Dr. Dilip Barad here I mention his blog link.
1) What is Archetypal criticism? What does the archetypal critic do ?
*Archetypes criticism is term of to understanding the literature. Archetypal criticism studies structure sets and apparatuses of myths and Archetypes in literature.
*This term is archetype denoted recurrent narrative design, character,type, themes,images as well as myths, dreams and even social rituals for better understanding literature.
*Myth is not pure because it is residual in breached condition refracted through imageries and symbols the medium of representing the archetypes.
*Archetypal critic observe criticism conceptually as a science.
Critics follow archetypal term and present behind meaning of literary works.
2) what is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of physics of nature and criticism to literature ?
Frye is giving an analogy of physics of nature and criticism to literature this sentence through he trying to prove that physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature and student of it says that he is learning physics but he is learning nature. Same this method is similar for literature's student , he is learning criticism and its through criticized literary works but he cannot say he taught literature.
3) Share your views of criticism as an organised body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.
Criticism as an organised body of knowledge this statement given by Frye. Here I mention that his view two types of criticism first is meaningless and second is significant criticism , so that we can understand literature with help of significant criticism so criticism organised body of literary knowledge. Other hand he says that literature is part of history and philosophy. These two branches of knowledge provide a kind of pattern for understanding literature. Here I notice that philosophy and history are two major tools for interpretation of literature and archetypal criticism. Most of literature based on philosophy and history ,If reader aware about history and philosophy so that reader easily understand archetypal criticism.
4) Briefly explain Inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's scene.
According to Oxford University press Inductive definition - Inductive approach start with some examples from which a rule is inferred.
It is easy means -
Know through unknown
Conflict through Abract
Bottom - up approach
Example through rule
Specific through General
Here I mention this video for understanding both methods :
5) Briefly explain Deductive method with of reference to an analogy to music, painting, rhythm and pattern. Give examples of the outcome of Deductive.
According to Oxford University press Deductive definition " A deductive approach starts with the presentation of a rule and is followed by examples in which the rule is applied".
It is easy means that
Unknown through known
Abract through conflict
Top through down
Rule through exam
General through Specific
6) Archetypal approach and apply Indian season grid in the interpretation.
According to Frye seasonal cycle different from Indian cycle. He applies this cycle
Summer - Romance
Winter- Irony and Satire
Autumn - Tragedy
Spring - Comedy
His observations round his country author but Indian author for different seasonal cycle.
