The word ‘orature’ according to Ngugi was to denote imaginative works of the oral tradition usually referred to as “oral literature”. Mr Ngugi thought it would be wise to avoid suggesting that oral compositions belong to lesser or derivative category  (Oxford, 2020) .   The spoken word is definitely understood more than the written letters. They are produced to capture and bring alive the human mind, intention, emotion, opinion, view, experience and prediction among other things. Around the globe, orature sets the tune for written literature. However, the global world has diluted the potency of oral narratives in Africa. But there are still rele...

  T.S. Eliot was one of the most pivotal critics of his time. He was also a renowned poet, playwright and publisher (1888-1965). The combination of critic and writer grafts T.S. Eliot’s credo together, quite finely. His concepts and concerns raised in his critic of “Tradition and the Individual Talent” has been one of the most extraordinary and influential criticism of his entire works.   Eliot places great emphasis on the idea of tradition but rejects tradition that is ‘blind’ or conforms to a ‘timid adherence’ to successful compositions of the past. Such ‘tradition should be “positively” discouraged he critics. He says of Individual talent that he/she cannot stand alone without the predecessors; they complete one another in timeless fashion. He emphasis how the 20th century poets are meant to be the foundation of 21st century poets. Thus, individual talent is significant in isolation of newness in uniqueness amongst its predecessors and not only immediate, but earlier ge...

    Romanticism according to many scholars lacks a definitive starting date, but many agree it began during the late 1700s. Romanticism has a strong core that disobeys clustered establishment and fortifies individualism. Poets like William Wordsworth certainly advocated for intellectual individuals to follow ideals instead of established conventions. During the romantic period individual liberty became a major theme and defined romanticism as the development of individualism and an embrace of the natural world in poetic form. Often, the lot of romantic poets like of the Victorian era with Wordsworth including William Blake revered idealism, emotional passion and mysticism in their works. Imagination was not lacking either in response to the neoclassic tradition a movement that favoured science and reason. In a unique manner, Romanticism also discards cultured language which it disdains and uses a much simpler vernacular simpleton language, that the ordinary folk can understa...

  The Oedipal complex also better know n as the Oedipus complex was coined by Sigmund Freud in his theory of psychosexual stages of development to describe a male child’s attraction towards his maternal mother. Freud suggests that in the phallic stage of psychosexual development, the Oedipus complex plays an imperative role. The Oedipus complex “is a state which a person shows excessive affection for the parent opposite in sex to him or herself, and a equivalent aversion for his or her other parent.”  Paul Morel is fond of Mrs Morel- and ranges his affection beyond puberty, unpleasantly affecting the harmony of his relationship with other girls (Miriam), we may also describe him as a victim of the mother fixation.   The value of sons and lovers is dependant wholly or mainly on the validity of Oedipus complex from the foreword already. Here we learn that “Lawrence” is aware of the Oedipus Complex from his own personal life and is a major theme in the novel. Lawrence s...

  Nihilism is the belief that all values are redundant and that nothing can be known or communicated. Nihilism is Bazarov’s character and we see that he is very pessimistic, condescending, is a grand sceptic. People who are nihilistic to the core would rather believe in nothing, no loyalties, no purpose other than, perhaps, to destroy and God is no go area .   Madame Odintsova challenges Bazarov to an argument while they sat and chat. His ‘nihilistic’ temperament is already evident before the argument commences. He says of Madame Odintsov “Because, so far as I can tell, your temperament is one of the cold and lethargic order, whereas argument needs impulsiveness” pg 95. Which is quite narcissistic and premature as she darts back with a witty similar disapproval of his conclusion of her abilities , as she says “How have you contrived so quickly to appraise me?”. This is the first time she contradicts him and asks Katia to confirm how she is both exacting and impatient...

               1.   Yes, ‘time’ can be considered as a theme in Romeo and Juliet. The theme of time is evident early on in the play as Romeo drags his emotions all over his disposition as he talks with Benvolio, lamenting over his love for Rosaline: “sad hours seem long”.   This gives us a hint into the acknowledgement of Romeo that time is quite present and he is more aware of it considering, love and time are inseparable due to the nature of ‘young love’ or ‘old love’, that either would speak as if time ‘ceases to exist, that time ‘has been kind’ to us, or that time seems to ‘never end’ because they are separated as is the case with Romeo and Rosaline. Mercutio is one of the first to complain about time and hereafter time seems to speed up rapidly. Capulet is also aware of time as Paris asks for Juliet’s hand in marriage, with Capulet responding that she is too young and needs another two years. Juliet is also aware that her love f...

  John: Dear Abigail. My heart is sore from my double-minded efforts. You are my heart's desire that I cannot give you any more than what I have spent on you. My soul is in anguish because I put my hand in the cookie jar and now my sweet tooth is giving me a sassy attitude and lip service, with diabolical threats of ruining my marriage.   Abigail: Dear John. The cookie rejoices in pleasing the appetite for fulfilment. But the contract needs to be renewed with new terms and conditions. I am sure as a farmer; you know very well the seductive allure of sugar and a prideful animal. The bear will keep searching for more. I hear no, but I see in between the lines of an alpha male asking for more treats.   John: Please Abigail. I am not like that. I am sore sorry. I am texting to make straight what I have made crooked. I knew doing this had consequences, but I never knew that karma what such a horrible friend of yours. I swear she is your mother.   Abigail: John...
