The rape of the lock is a mock heroic poem by the Alexander pope.here i am sharing some question&answer related to this lesson the RAPE OF THE LOCK. the all answers are given according to my point of view.
(1)What is beauty? Write your own views about beauty?
Beauty is not only thing by which we can attrack the person. According to my view beauty has two type
(1)outer beauty
(2) inner beauty
According to my view outer beauty is more important in now a days . Itis .ore superficial than the inner beauty no one looks at your inner beauty.As per society if you are looking very gorgeous by outer beauty you are very good person no one has notice your inner beauty.
If you are looking not so good by outer beauty, than the every person of society judge you in different level&different point of view no one notice how good you are by inner side, no matter how you think?people always judge you by the outer beauty.
Here in the RAPE OF THE LOCK for belienda beauty is more important. She has pride on TWO CURLY LOCKS . As the poem ends the lock of hair cut by the baron with the help of her lady friend Clarissa .
(2)According to you who is protagonist of the poem belienda or Clarissa?why?Give your answer with logical reasons
According to my point of view Clarissa is more appropriate character to become a protagonist because as a protagonist character have some qualities which Clarissa has but belienda has not those such type of quality. As per poet belienda is a person who loves her beauty a lot. She is living as per condition of society , but as a protagonist she has not so attractive and appropriate personality as Clarissa has. Clarissa has a quality which a protagonist character should have first of all, she has a fearless nature, she is a person who is not given so much importance to her beauty, for her the condition of society is not much important , or we can say she is free to prove her point without any hesitation. And last but not least we can say that she is voice of author. This is a most important charterstics a protagonist should have. By this characteristics I can say that Clarissa is most appropriate to became a protagonist of the RAPE OF THE LOCK
(3)Find out a research paper on the rape of the lock give details about the research paper and write down in brief what does it say about the RAPE OF THE LOCK
Alexander Pope was an 18th century English poet. He was best known for his satirical verses and mocking poetry. He wrote many great poems among which ‘An Essay on Criticism’, ‘The Rape of the Lock’, and ‘Essay on man’ are the most prominent poems. His poem, The Rape of the Lock is considered as the finest mock-epic of the 18th century. The central incident in the poem is the theft of a lock of hair and the resulting quarrel between two families.
The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem. In this poem, Pope has mocked the triviality of the contemporary period. At his time, the trivial matters held much importance. In the title, the poet associates the serious matter of ‘rape’ with the trivial theft of a ‘lock of the hair’. By doing this, he showed how unnecessary things were given serious attention at that time.
His poem is written in five cantos. The poem satirizes a minor incident by comparing it to the epic world of gods. The poem was inspired by an actual incident which had been recounted by his friend, John Caryll. It was about the members of the aristocratic-catholic family. Peter, having a high rank in the society, cut off a lock of hair of Arabella without her permission. This act created a breach between two families. The narrative of the poem revolved around this incident.
(1)Which version of novel is more appealing novel or film adaption?
The film adaption of pride &prejudice is more appealing rather than the literary novel because in novel there is only words and by the words we have to imagine that thing. When the film adaption help us to understand characteristics of the character as well as there gesture&poster, facial expressions of character We can see in the film. So According to my point of view film adaption is more appealing than the literary novel.
(2)character of Elizabeth
_ Head strong woman with pride
Elizabeth is strong woman in the novel as well as in film. This characteristics of Elizabeth we can observe when the lady Kathrine meet to Elizabeth to talk about regarding darcy. Kathrine told her that she have to denied darcy because relationship of darcy and her daughter has fixed when they both are child but Elizabeth strongly denied her that if darcy propose her she say yes to darcy so this scene represents strongestness of Elizabeth.
_strong opinion
She has strong opinions than the Jane she was able to make any decision by her self.if she not liked any man she was able to give her opinion on that man or thing.
Judgemental
Elizabeth has judgemental nature when Wickham told story of his life she easily judge Mr. Darcy and that's why she has prejudice regarding Mr darcy.
(3)Character sketch of Mr Darcy
Introvert
Mr. Darcy has a introvert personality. He was not able to show his emotion towards Elizabeth.
Slient lover
Mr. Darcy was presented as a slient. He can not express hislove towards Elizabeth. He also can not tell his friend Mr bingley that he love Elizabeth .
(6)who would your choice of actors to play the role of characters
I would like to play to character of Elizabeth because she is only one in the novel who has their own opinion.she is not inspired by anyone. She has no fear of any one. She is only one who told the lady Catherine that she is marry with Mr darcy.she is only one who is honest lady and for her love is more important than the money.
(7)Which scene you like the most?
2 scenes are my most favorite scene
1. When darcy propose to Elizabeth and express his emotions to her but Elizabeth denied him with very proudly&confidently .she has no worry about reaction of darcy as well as society of that era.
(2) Meeting of lady kathrine&Elizabeth
In this scene lady Kathrine told
Elizabeth that she have to denied marry with darcy. Because relationship of darcy&her daughter fixed very earlier but Elizabeth denied her. She also said 4hat when darcy propose her she accept his proposal and marry with him this scene represents pride, strongness of Elizabeth.
(5)If you are director or a screen play writer what should diffrance making of the movie?
If I am director or screen play writer I want to make changes in the character of Mrs. Bennet and the character of Jane because Mrs. Bennet has very tensed about the marriage of her daughters as well as she always running behind the wealthy man , she never tried to understand the opinion of daughter. And another character is Jane because Jane is slient character she is not enough strong like Elizabeth so I want to change in this two characters.
Macbeth is written by William shakespear he was a unique figure of Elizabethan age he wrote sonnets, tragedy,and also comedy.
ABOUT MACBETH
Macbeth is a tragedy which is written by William shakespear it is first performed in 1606 it dramatize ambition of protagonist and because of his ambitious nature the play turns into tragedy
What is diffrance between literary text& film
Literary work revel story in narrative form while movie revel the story through audio&visual.
In present time there are many flim adoptetion regarding literary text Macbeth has also film adoptetion with serial improvision which is made by director. Macbeth has so many film adoptetion but here I share three distinctive adoptetion of Macbeth
Flim adoption of Macbeth
First film adaptation of Macbeth which is adopted by Orson well
Welles film entirely shoot in barren studio floor Western. The studio had made a fact that the chose emphasis rather than obfuscate. Welles was able to translate the physical spaces of film.As the film progress the various set pieces background actors and props seem to slowly vanish to frame leaving Macbeth isolated both visually and psychologically.
Flim is begin with using this dialougue double double toil and trouble. In this adoptetion witches carry stuffed with fork in v shape and displayed hold over Macbeth . Welles worked in the similar shapes into the shapes when Macbeth as and stolen throne we see that it is shaped like tip of the witches stuff
Opening scene of Macbeth
Adepted by: Orson well
In this adoptetion there are few character from the play are eliminated Ross is minor character his character cut from the flim. But much of his dialougue given to a major character
Welles is adept a Narrative language from the original play.
Lady Macbeth is most captivating character of the screen . It does add to the feeling as Welles said that film is more of a bold character sketch extremely well with expressive quality of film.
Improvision by the director
In the movie by Orson wells which is based on Macbeth he put loaded interpretation of the play theater project in 1936 in this fkim setting was Scotland. Flim is represented by entire black caste. When in originally text there was a entire caste was white. And no much loud interpretation
Second film adoption by Akira kurosawa
Akira kurosawa was a Japanese film maker he changed the name when he make a film which is based on Macbeth the name of the film was throne of blood which is directed by akira kurosawa. When he making a film he face some conflict regarding the structure of a play . He make some liberal changes.
This adoptetion film was begin with witches the director didn't make straight forward adoptetion of Macbeth but it is relocated in Japan.
Many of character are more or less it is not as we expected macbeth become washizu lady macbeth become lady asaji and banque become miki. In this film adoptetion there is chorus. In this film adoptetion there is Ross is not most notable character not even macduff was. This last ominious critical adoptetion as it result it is entirely different from original text.
The best visual moment was shakespear language of dialouge . When miki lost in forest in movie recieve their prophesy get lost in castle this scene seems last to eternity or at least well passed point which more director would have figured at served its purpose there is no dialouge .
While lady asaji(lady macbeth) shares many core scenes with the audience. Washizu presenting each subsequent action in the movie.
Here lady macbeth represented as dynamic and expressive eternal source for washizu and deliberate &argue with him. Which is more cinematic then wrestling with inner thoughts.
Improvision by director
Here the film maker was Japanese so he changed the name of film as well as the name of the character in flim also
Adoptetion of macbeth by Roman Polanski
In this adoptetion the movie started with
The dialouge with fair is foul foul is fair unborn child of Macbeth which is most accurate to the text no less than cinematic. Character motivation through contextual visual. Include minor character polanski latches to the fact that macbeth is slightly longer than the other character. In this film polanski connected dots between sequential nature of event at the end of film rides out alone witches to home but there is no dialouges.
Beyond the character moments there were numerous motifs that further reflect polanski fatalistic view.
Polanski utilizes primary colors to represent guilt and fear, drenching Macbeth’s restless body in the sanguine light that pours through his bedroom window, paralleling his bloody reign. The deep blues of twilight also carry metaphorical heft, washing over the fallen Banquo as his corpse floats in a shallow pool of water, echoing the cold distance of a king willing to slay his most loyal subject. The spell conjured by this evocative shading and frenzied violence is amplified by the high-pitched squeal of Third Ear Band’s avant-garde improvisations, eliciting panic through blurts of oboe and shredded violin strings.
Polanski focuses on the physical expression of rage in the final act, typifying his artistic vision by linking internal torment to external aggression. His Macbeth exhibits a measured pace, but builds to an unbearable tension, marrying a lesson in humility to a study in existential dread and mortal cruelty.

About hudibras
Hudibras is an English mock heroic narrative poem the 17 century written by Samuel butler publish in the aftermath of english civil war, it is scathing satire of puritan and the parliament cause of royal perspective
.
Structure of hudibras
Title was taken from edmundspensarfariequeen described as not so good deeds as great of name and more huge in strength than wise in work Spencer turn probably got the name from legendary king of Britons rud gud hudibras.
The poem was written in iambic meter in close couplets with surprising feminine rhymes when we opens up the poem , where english civil war describe thus
When civil fury first grew high, And men fell out they knew not why, When hard Words, Jealousies, and Fears, Set Folks together by the Ears, And made them fight, like mad or drunk, For Dame Religion, as for Punk; Whose honesty they all durst swear for, Though not a man of them knew wherefore: When Gospel-Trumpeter surrounded, With long-ear'd rout, to Battle sounded, And Pulpit, Drum Ecclesiastick,
Was beat with fist, instead of a stick: Then did Sir Knight abandon dwelling, And out he rode a Colonelling.
This poem was published in three parts each divided
Into canots with some additional heroic epistles. It is
Possible that fourth part was planned
Plot of the poem
In the very first part of poem describe tha knight and his squire Sally forth and come upon some people bear -baiting. After deciding that this is anti Christian they attack tha baiters and capture one after defeating the bear.
In the second part describes how the knight's imprisoned condition is reported by widow hudibras has been wooing.
Third part was publish after 14 year of first two part it picks up from where the second left off hudibras going to widow's house to explain details of the whipping he had promising him self but Ralph had got there first and told her what actually has happened.
Significant of the poem
Hudibras was an extremely popular work with pirate copies and a spurious second part being issued before Butler could produce his genuine second part in 1664. It was highly praised with Voltaire in his Letters on the English saying "I never found so much wit in one single book". One reader though was distinctly unimpressed. On 26 December 1662 Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary that he bought Hudibras, but, despite its being extremely popular at the time, he admitted finding no humour in it and selling it the same day. Two months later he bought it again to try to find what he was missing. He still found nothing funny about it, due to his finding its treatment of Puritans too vicious and being insensitive to the humour of the rhymes.
In his poem, Butler coined the phrase "Spare the rod and spoil the child," probably a modification of bilibcleinjunction about child-rearing given in book of proverb: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes"
. In the context of Hudibras the phrase is a bawdy metaphor suggesting the best way to curtail amorous passions or, through double entendre, to prevent conception:
If Matrimony and Hanging go By Dest'ny, why not Whipping too? What med'cine else can cure the fits Of Lovers when they lose their Wits? Love is a Boy by Poets stil'd, Then Spare the Rod, and spill

Comparison between movie&novel

In the novel creature goes to somewhere but in the movie creature burnt himself.
In the movie and novel some scenes are as it is but some are changed.
In the novel there is female character are very less important. In novel we can see that.
Audience review:
As per audience ait is so different original version with boris karloff which is masterpiece it has great cinemetography great acting ,but last but not least, DeNiro fabulous and cast against type as a tragic sympathetic creature.
My own review:
Frankenstein is very interesting as well as curious movie it has a power by which we have to stuck to see movie.
First of all, when the story start with the story start with journey of victor. As story goes on in the middle part of story victor made a creature but after stitching creature it looks so hidious and because of his looks neither victor nor society accept and because of ignorance &rejection of society&victor creature wants revenge from the family of victor. Because of two aspects
1.Rejection
2. Ignorance of creator
Make creature a monster.
(6)Who decides what beauty is ? It is real or superficial?
Our appearance decides our beauty. As per society outer beauty is most important if your look was not so good enough society rejected.
If you have inner beauty so good but you are not look good enough society rejected you.
As we can see here in the character of victor&creature are diffrant from each other. Here creature is so beautiful by inner nature he is so kind hearted but because of his outer look not so good so people rejected him.
On the other side victor was not so good by inner nature but he looks so beautiful that's why people accepted him.
So, here we can see that the outer beauty more powerful than the inner beauty.
(5).who is suffering from deformity in the novel?which kind of deformity in the novel?
There is a creature who is suffering from disability there is appearance is disability.
WHAT IS DEFORMITY?
The deformity is something by which type of deformity you judge by every people of society who is suffering from deformity he/she have to face a problem in every stage of life.
Here we can see by the character of creature that he has deformity with his appearance and because of appearance he got rejection by the people of society &he was judge by every people of society.
(7) Search for life victor-robert- creature
In this story there are three characters who search for life
Victor:
Victor has everything but because of revenge with creature he lost his family,now he don't want to live without family especially without Elizabeth so he is search for life.
Robert:
Robert has also every thing but he has hungry for knowledge and because of his hungerness he was also search for life.
Creature:
Creature has no so good enough look but he want a female companion who is accept him with her heart so creature is also a part of search of life.
(8)villain in frankenstein
Here there are two villain as we read novel we came across that ultimately villain is victor. Because of victor create a creature than he ignore creature and because of victor creature faces so many trouble. Here we can argue that if victor is female character he has mother heart he accept creature without any hesitation. But as a male he can't able to accept a creature with his heart and because of this type behavior creature faces a problem and rejection from society. So here we can say that victor is villain of this story.
