OD:Oneness of Literature

Here, I am sharing my views on oneness of literature  by the short story 'A joke' by Anton Chakhov and poem ' The Barial of  the Dead' by T.S Eliot, as per my understanding. 

           The present lines are from 'Waste Land', first part 'The Barial of the Dead' by T.S Eliot. In his essay 'Traditional and Individuel Talent', Eliot talks about the pastness of past and its relevance to present. This concept we find in this poem 'The Barial of the Dead '. In this poem a women named Marie recalled her childhood memories.  So,the concept of pastness of the past is very relevance to this above lines of the poem.

              Northorpe Frye also talks about the oneness of the world' all literature in his essay 'The Archetypal criticism '. He want to say that DNA of all literature is same. The oneness of literature is because the writers write it on the base of historical sense and writers also shows their's  own feelings,emotions and problems with various types of archetypal symbols. So, this sameness or oneness of literature we found in this above lines and the short story ' A Joke' by Anton Chakhov '. In this both we find many similarities like, atmosphere, situations, recall of the past memories and the theme of love. This are the main similarities we found in the short story ' A Joke' and a poem 'The Barial of the Dead '.

              'A Joke' by Russian writer Anton Chakhov ane Eliot's poem both are many similar. Main character of short story Nadia and main character of poem is Marie. Both recalled their memory, its all about physical attraction and love towards opposite gender. The symbols like mountains, snow are used similar in both. In the short story we find that there is no true love , because if the speaker love Nadia,  than why he had not express his love towards Nadia and also at the end of the novel he said that why he made joke with Nadia. In the poem we find that Marie attract towards his cousin and this is happend in childhood.  So, we can say that it is only physical attraction towards opposite gender and it is lust, not love. The lines of Marie's cousin,'hold me tight', is show the lust and sexually attraction. So, in the poem and short story, we find oneness or similarities of literature. 

           So, in short we can say as per Northorpe Frye's essay on 'Archetypal Criticism' about oneness of literature,  that the symbols,emotions, conditions, feelings etc. made literature similar, because writers write on base of historical sense and that's why we find oneness of world's all literature.
