How far do you believe the medium, and the action that is associated with him, is a figment of Krishna’s grieving imagination? In this essay I will highlight the techniques used to present an in proportion perspective about the belief of the medium, and the action that is associated with him which suggests to the reader it’s a figment of Krishna’s grieving imagination. During Krishna’s second visit to the mediums house, he asks Susila if she remembers their child’s name. The quotation ‘The pencil wrote: ‘Yes, Radha.’ This was disappointing.’ This personification of the pencil is expressing their lack of control over what is occurring during the messages journey to reach Susila. The child was the reason for them both to prevent arguments the child would be an excuse so Krishna may be worried things will change now she forgets her name. The fact that the medium returns with a false answer indicates this is Krishna trying to keep hold of the only bit of hope he has left in contacting Susila and how much he is mentally imagining it. Much like on films we see when characters are thirsty they start chasing after water that isn't there and its just a figment of their imagination. …show more content…
Krishna is determined to speak to Susila. Death is associated with black and loneliness much relating to how Krishna is presently feeling like. The medium could've actually found her true spirit. The quotation ‘She watches over them and prays for their welfare’ connotes how she is still there and can view things from a different perspective, from above with is associated with a higher role of authority. It also expresses how she has gone to heaven which reflects her life and intentions. Krishna could feel her present with in him and this could be her spirit. On his fourth visit Susila informs Krishna that Leela goes to school which was true and Krishna was unaware of this which dances in his mind it must be

* As the prince asked Lord Krishna on whether he should kill for the war, Krishna used the arguments above and more to show that there would be transcendence and so on, and when a person is “killed”, his or her spirit would just throws away its worn-out body and enters a new one.
The style of writing inherent in this work was made prominent by the author’s point of view. He used the omniscient point of view, which added his ability to honestly but literarily delve into the
Bharati Mukherjee’s “The Management of Grief,” and Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies” both illustrate female character’s who struggle when they face the tragic loss of their children. In their short stories, Mukherjee and Lahiri both incorporate the journey of grief a mother faces, however both texts offer a vast difference surrounding each woman’s attitudes toward losing children. While Mukherjee’s “The Management of Grief” and Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies” both highlight the overwhelming grief that surrounds the loss of children, Mukherjee’s story allows the interpretation of a protagonist holding onto hope, and finding the strength to accept her tragic loss and move forward. In Lahiri’s story, by contrast, no real acceptance
This warning is that she will be transformed into a ghost by fear, just as he was by love and rejection. His wish for her is that she will begin to realize her thread of life is torn, loose, and irrelevant. Even though his ghostly condition is substantial, her ghost is more so. He has slipped out of time and become a shadow waiting for her spirit. He was neglected and his hope is for her to feel this pain.
Series of emotions clouded him. Soon the web of damaging thoughts clamored his mind. The world started to dissolve in the words at the screen in front. The cute little device had so much hidden inside. He couldn’t believe what his eyes were reading. Before he could respond, his mind quashed completely.
The next thing I saw was that, from outside, he had reached the window, and then I knew that, close to the glass and glaring in through it, he offered once more to the room his white face of damnation. It represents but grossly what took place within me at the sight to say that on the second my decision was made; yet I believe that no woman so overwhelmed ever in so short a time recovered her grasp of the act. It came to me in the very horror of the immediate presence that the act would be, seeing and facing what I saw and faced, to keep the boy himself unaware. The inspiration – I can call it by no other name – was that I felt how voluntarily, how transcendently, I might. It was like fighting with a demon for a human soul, and when I had fairly so appraised it I saw how the human soul – held out, in the tremor of my hands, at arm's length – had a perfect dew of sweat on a lovely
The voice, though wilted with age, still held a authoritative resonance, and in the dimly lit room, swirling with galaxies of dust, it was as if it were decreed by the Lord Himself. Its source stood proud, facing away from three, kneeling figures. A tall man, standing straight in defiance of the weight of time, he stared sightlessly at the image before him: A stained-glass window. The craft had been lost to the test of time, and yet the piece still remained intact, a painstakingly rendered image of an angelic battle against evil, frozen in time. Multicolored light dappled his face, cast by the setting sun, and though he could feel its warmth on the creases of his age, he had long since lost the ability to witness it, eyes, milky white, staring at only the void.
In fact, by attempting to glamourize suffering by portraying it superficially, writers may lose the connection with us that appreciates literature. Instead, what we are left with is an over extended attempt to glorify suffering, or hide it within a guise of reality that is too savage to be true. Instead of the appreciative feeling that reality imbues within me as a reader, I am left with a sense of disgust, confusion and dissatisfaction. This feeling almost overwhelmed me while reading Adiga’s “The White Tiger” and it tainted my experience with the book. Adiga had written the novel without any firsthand experience in the rural areas of India to which his main character referred to as the darkness. Instead, being of a higher class, his accounts were based on second or third hand experiences which do not adequately depict the lower class’ realities. I found the following depiction of India’s ghettos both farcically unrealistic and eventually
In chapter 2 self-realization on page 117 Krishna states, “You were never born; you will never die. You have never changed.” Our soul is a constant energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Krishna is saying that your soul will not die when your body that is in dies. Often when someone passes you still have this notion that their soul is looking over you.
For anyone interested in learning more about the inner life, about consciousness and mystical insight, the works of the poets are a great resource and peace to discover extra sensory delights to learn metaphysical secrets, to awaken to the possibilities of enlightenment, to fall in love with divine, to swing from universality, to the tender being of things here and now and in the end to come to a larger understanding of ourselves. Poetry is the natural speech of mysticism. Because the imagery and tone of a poem can convey more than ordinary words can express, poetic language is used to describe what would otherwise be inexpressible. Through image and tone, a poem can alhide to an abstract experience or evoke a feeling that captures the aftereffect of a mystical moments even though the moment itself may have been beyond words.
The author composes a strong narrative considering the audience he wanted to reach, by my view the young generation. He instantly capturing the hearts of the readers by using the five senses in his description and by creating a compelling narrative from an ordinary story that could have happened to anyone. While following the dynamic of the story, he gives us to look at the “six inches of new snow”, to hear “tire chains come clanking from afar”, to feel the cold weather “it was cloudy but cold”, to smell the “boiling oil” or even with more imagination the “garbage cans” and to taste symbolically “ every breath tore my throat”. The sensory details give the audience a good description of the vivid details. The time used
This paper attempts to examine the fictional projections of Indian girls, to see how they emerge in ideological terms. Their journeys from self-alienation to self-adjustment, their childhood struggles against the hypocrisies and monstrosities of the grown-up world, eventually demolishing the unjust male constructed citadels of power that hinder their progress- are the highlighted issues. The point of comparison between the two novels focused on here is the journey of Rahel in The God of Small Things and Sai in The Inheritance from a lonely childhood to a tragic adulthood passing through a struggle with the complex forces of patriarchal society. Both the novels portray the imaginativeness, inventiveness, independence, rebelliousness, wide-eyed wonder and innocence associated with these young girls.
This essay focuses on the theme of forbidden love, The God of Small Things written by Arundhati Roy. This novel explores love and how love can’t be ignored when confronted with social boundaries. The novel examines how conventional society seeks to destroy true love as this novel is constantly connected to loss, death and sadness. This essay will explore the theme of forbidden love, by discussing and analysing Ammu and Velutha's love that is forbidden because of the ‘Love Laws’ in relation to the caste system which results in Velutha’s death. It is evident that forbidden love negatively impacts and influences other characters, such as Estha and Rahel, which results in Estha and Rahel’s incestuous encounter.
