Q1 i. Give Aristotle’s definition of tragedy. 

Answer -: According to Aristotle, ‘Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play, in the play in the form of action, not of narrative through pity and fear effecting the proper katharsis or purgation of these emotion’.

Ii What is the relationship between the past and the present in the context of literary tradition? 

Ans -: When a new work of art is created, it is really new and original, the whole literary

tradition is modified though ever so slightly. The relationship between the past and the present

is not one – sided; it is a reciprocal relationship. The past directs the present, and is itself

modified and altered by the present.

iii How, according to Eliot, can a writer achieve impersonality? 

Ans-: impersonality can be achieved only when the poet surrenders

himself completely to the work that is to be done. And the poet can know what is to be done,

only if he acquires a sense of tradition, the historic sense, which makes, him conscious, not

only of the present, but also of the present moment of the past, not only of what is dead, but of

what is already living.

Iv What is F.R. Leavis’s idea of criticism? 

Ans-: Leavis has certainly proved his importance as a literary critic and further emerged as

a “publicist” for the idea of criticism. Thus he has paved the way for literary criticism to get

firmly rooted in the academic world.

2 Elucidate the term ‘Vakrokti’.

Ans-: The word ‘vakrokti’ consists of two components — ‘vakra’

and ‘ukti’— the first of which means ‘crooked, indirect or unique’ and the second means

‘expression or speech’. Thus the literal meaning of vakrokti is ‘crooked or indirect speech’.

Vakrokti (obliquity) is a concept of Sanskrit poetics for making an assessment of

kâvya (literature). Though all the Sanskrit âcâryas like Bharata, Bhâmaha, Dandin, Vâman,

Rudrata, Ânandavardhana, Abhinavagupta, Bhoja, Râjaœekhara and others dealt with vakrokti,

it was Âcârya Kuntaka who elevated this concept to a full-fledged theory in his treatise

Vakroktijîvitam written in the first half of the eleventh century for the purpose of making an

assessment of kâvya (literature) In modern vocabulary vakrokti has been translated as obliquity. The earliest use of vakrokti is discernible in Atharvaveda and Agnipurana in which it is used in the sense of crookedness. Later the Sanskrit poets used vakrokti in their own ways. 

3 Who is fit to be a tragic hero according to Aristotle? Elaborate.

Answer -: description of the ideal tragic hero in Ch. XIII. The qualities requisite to such a character are here deduced from the primary fact that the function of tragedy is to produce the katharsis of pity and fear; pity being felt for a person who, if not wholly innocent, meets with suffering beyond his deserts; fear being awakened when the sufferer is a man of like nature with ourselves. Tragic character must be exhibited through the medium

of a plot which has the capacity of giving full satisfaction to these emotions. Certain types,

therefore, of character and certain forms of catastrophe are at once excluded, as failing either

in whole or in part to produce the tragic effect. Aristotle designates the following qualities of a

tragic hero.

4 What does Coleridge say about Wordswoth’s views about diction?

5 What does Arnold say about Christianity in Culture and Anarchy?

Section ‘C’

6 Elaborate Kuntaka’s concept of ‘Prakarana-Vakrata’ in detail. 

Ans-: prakarana-vakratâ (episodic

obliquity) and prabandha- vakratâ (compositional obliquity). The second chapter takes up

for detailed consideration the first three varieties of vakrokti . In the third chapter is dealt with

vâkya-vakratâ (sentential obliquity), and in the fourth prakarana-vakratâ (episodic obliquity)

and prabandha- vakratâ (compositional obliquity) In this way, vakrokti comes to embrace

the entire gamut of the poetic art. This division, which starts with the unique use of phonemes

or syllables and ends up with the handling or managing of the composition as a whole, ascertains

that Kuntaka’s approach to poetry is very minute and scientific.

This vakratâ deals with the oblique use of prakarana (episode). Kuntaka says that

when the intended object is capable of maintaining suspense all along and is the product of the

unique, boundless poetic skill underlying it, we have prakarana -vakratâ (episodic obliquity).

Here he means to say is that the writer, overwhelmed with the zest of creation, creates an

alluring charm in the subject – matter. According to him, this very charm is nothing but prakarana

-vakratâ. He describes the following nine sub-varieties of this vakrata : bhâvapûrnasthiti

vakratâ (obliquity of emotional states), utapâdya lâvanya vakratâ (obliquity of modified

source story), prakarana upakârya-upakâraka bhâva vakratâ (obliquity of episodic

relationship), viœismha prakarna vakratâ (obliquity of particular event and episode) , angirasa

nisyandanikasa vakratâ (obliquity of dominant rasa), apradhâna prasanga vakratâ

(obliquity of secondary episodes), prakaranâtara vakratâ (obliquity of play within play),

sandhi viniveœa vakratâ (obliquity of juncture)

7 “Plot is the soul of tragedy”, Aristotle says. Discuss this statement. 

8 Wordsworth and Coleridge do some original thinking about the 

nature and of poetic creation. Expound your views about it.
