Shakespeare wrote during the reign of James I. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, and is Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy.

                                      Lady Macbeth 




                                     All in all, Lady Macbeth did not show feminism as a woman in Macbeth tragedy. She is selfish, abnormal, and ambitious woman. She initiated a murder and then make his husband, Macbeth, downfall. She also controlled his husband, even challenged his manhood.

                  In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth ,the presents the conflicting  character of lady Macbeth. Upon receiving her husband’s letter about the witches prophesies, she attempts to be like a man in order to exude the strength needed to gain addition social status as royalty. Lady Macbeth appears to be very influential in planning -deciding when and how husband for not acting more like a man; yet, despite these capabilities, she is the main usurpation of the throne.

                       First shown as an iron -willed character willing to my nipple from boneless gums, and the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this to later being shown as possessed by night mares of guilt , how could such a strong character so quickly fall prey to uneasiness. According to materialist feminism theory, despite  her earlier show of strength, Lady Macbeth’s  eventual  weakness is a result of a patriarchal of her gender.

                                             A popular speculation on why the oppression of women is not more commonly recognized than the oppression of certain ethnic or religious groups, is that “women’s allegiance to men from their own always supersedes their allegiance to women from different classes”. While certain social and economic factors separate people from different walks of life, within these groups women are also separated from each other. Women remain isolated which prevents them from making significant changes because they have no strength in number.

                       Similarly, Lady Macbeth, while being notably strong compared to other members of her gender, has no way to enact her schemes as she is kept isolated from other women during the course of the play. While her strength is great, she is not powerful enough alone to deal with a murder. She does not reveal the secret of their murderous deeds because she is a woman and thus inherently weak, but she reveals the secret because she is a woman and thus has been selectively isolated from finding strength in number.

                              This fall ,the second instalment of the hunger Games trilogy was released in theatres. The main character, Katniss Everdeen is a brave, intelligent, female character with an exceptional level .

Even 50 year ago unacceptable female entertainment and media use but present time woman positive way.

                         In 16 century, Shakespeare crafted a crafted a character many of the same character as Katniss while simultaneous pleasing an audience with traditional views on femininity. As a result,  lady Macbeth is a feminist role model before the rise of feminist ideology in the mainstream and a truly  evil character as well Lady Macbeth. 


                                     From the very beginning of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is shown as a character is relents in creating rebellious plots. According to Lois Tyson, “women themselves…in the accomplishments of their husbands and sons” . Lady Macduff – the epitome of motherhood – does not concoct some evil plot because she invests all of her intellectual powers into the achievements of her husband and children.


                                    On the other hand, Lady Macbeth, not as bound to domestic duties as Lady Macduff, sharpens her intellectual capabilities for her own use. While intelligence from a male character would be seen as a beneficial trait, patriarchy defines Lady Macbeth’s intelligence as a flaw and as an indicator that she is unnatural and “unfulfilled” as a woman.


                        Patriarchal society encourages Lady Macbeth to invest herself in the role of mother. Lady Macbeth is seen as selfish and abnormal when she confesses that there is a situation in which she would “[dash] [her child’s] brains out” , a very unnatural statement according to patriarchy’s belief that women’s desire to have and protect children is a part of “their natural biological makeup” . Though intelligent and strong at the beginning of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is reduced to an insignificant person haunted by nightmares and guilt as a result of a patriarchal portrayal of her gender.

                       Shakespeare was alive today the story of Macbeth might have gone a little differently. people are multidimensional, they can be motivated by terrible thing and feel hesitation and guilt for these force at the same time. As result, Lady Macbeth could be the only Macbeth if the play has been written after the 20th century

                                       She is both the face of women in power and a prime example of what happen when power gest the best of you. Lady Macbeth use her ambition, leadership skills, emotional strength.

Alfred Tennyson

 



On August 6, 1809, one of the most important English poets of the Victorian era was born, Alfred Lord Tennyson. The works of Alfred Lord Tennyson are best known for their close affinity with the English mythology and English history, they influenced the movement of the 19th century’s Victorian Art as well as the Arts and Crafts Movement, which was to join art and handcraft using simple forms applied to mostly romantic or medieval styles.

Lord Alfred Tennyson as a Victorian Poet-

Lord Alfred Tennyson was regarded as the true representative of the Victorian Age. He was most accomplished poet of the Victorian Era. For his entire lifetime, Tennyson “was a voice, the voice of whole people”. As a representative of his age, Tennyson’s poetry covered all the major issues of the Victorian era such as: the concerns of Industrial revolution, modernization, poverty, war, conflict between science and religion and other social issues. The Victorian Age saw three major socio-cultural changes that were industrial revolution, evolution of Science, and rise of democracy. Tennyson voiced these changes in his poetry. Tennyson’s poetry of life and Death. The poet’s work thus reflects everything that the Victorian society was experiencing at that time.

Tennyson wrote on a wide variety of subjects. His poems cover medieval legends observations of nature, classical myths, contemporary events, personal thoughts and more. His initial poems were influenced by the Romantics. For instance, in his poem ‘Timbuctoo (1829), Tennyson wrote on a legendary African intellectual city, In Mariana’ (1830), Tennyson depicts the inner state of mind of a woman waiting for her lover through the descriptions of the natural world. Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote on the doomed charge of six hundred British soldiers in the Crimean War in his ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ (1854). In “The Princess” (1847) Tennyson addressed women’s rights in higher education. Thus the poet’s works reflect the features of the Victorian Poetry.

Apart from contemporary concerns, Lord Alfred Tennyson also wrote on the Romantic past and historical events. Many poems by Tennyson explore the mythological past inspired from Homer, Virgil and Dante. Tennyson picked up some of the actual events from Homer’s “Odyssey” as subjects for his poems like “Ulysses” and “The Lotos- Eaters”. Likewise, his ode ‘To Virgil’, Tennyson writes about the fall of Troy inspired from Virgil’s great literary work “Aeneid”. Similarly, Tennyson wrote on medieval legends, a world of knights in shining armour and their damsels in distress in poems like ‘The Lady of Shalott’ and ‘Idylls of the King’.

Hence, all the poet’s works show or revealed the characteristics of the Victorian Poetry. It also represent the true figure of the Victorian Age.

Tennyson poem 

Idylls Of The King: A Peep Into The Victorian





There were ebb and tide in Tennyson's literary reputation. After his death and on into the early Twentieth century, the almost universal distaste for the bourgeois orthodoxy among intellectuals caused his reputation to decline drastically. Joyce dismissed him as "Alfred Lawn Tennison", and critics vied with one another to assign him lower and lower ranking as a minor figure in English poetry. The chief cause for the decline in his reputation was his advocacy of Victorian orthodoxy and the bourgeois ethos and the moral preachings which predominated in his poetry. He was largely credited with having given the English people their flattering image of the Prince Consort the German husband of Queen Victoria. But Tennyson's reputation at mid-twentieth century, however, was rising, and he is now again rated highly, though significantly not for the qualities that brought him fame in his era. T. S. Eliot in 1936 acclaimed Tennyson as a great poet because of his "abundance, variety and complete competence"

The Idylls of the King; Lord Tennyson best ever composition during the Victorian age. Alfred Lord Tennyson is the most important poet of the Victorian period and the finest of poetries are included in his works in English literature. Consisting of twelve poems which were published in between 1842 and 1888, in several fragments and blends.

Idylls of the King is a poetic dealing of the Arthurian legend written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The four books namely Enid, Vivien, Elaine and Guinevere were published as Idylls of the King in 1859.

With fascinating characters of King Arthur, Guinevere, Sir Lancelot and several other Knights of the Round Table, the Idylls of the King deals with a thrilling era of the English history.

The Puritan Age

The Literature of the Seventeenth Century may be divided into two periods—The Puritan Age or the Age of Milton (1600-1660), which is further divided into the Jacobean and Caroline periods after the names of the ruled James I and Charles I, who rules from 1603 to 1625 and 1625 to 1649 respectively; and the Restoration Period or the Age of Dryden (1660-1700).

The Seventeenth Century was marked by the decline of the Renaissance spirit, and the writers either imitated the great masters of the Elizabethan period or followed new paths. We no longer find great imaginative writers .

John Milton 



John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet and intellectual who served as a civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667). Written in blank verse, Paradise Lost is widely considered to be one of the greatest works of English literature.

John Dryden

 JOHN DRYDEN



             John Dryden was an English poet, literary, critic, translators, and playwright who was appointed England’s first poet  Laureate in 1668. He is seen as dominating the literary life of Restoration England to Such a point that period came to be known in literary circles as the age of Dryden.

               Dryden was born in 19 August 1631 the village of Aldwinkle, Northamptonshier. His family were prosperous people, who brought him up in the strict Puritan faith ,and sent him first to the famous Westminster school and then to Cambridge. He only well-known work of this period, the “Heroic Stanzas,” was written on the death of Cromwell.

                                                                             In 1650 Dryden went up to Trinity College, Cambridge. Here he would have experienced a return to the religious and political ethos of his childhood: the Master of Trinity was a Puritan preacher by the name of Thomas Hill who had been a rector in Dryden's home village. Though there is little specific information on Dryden's undergraduate years, he would most certainly have followed the standard curriculum of classics, rhetoric, and mathematics. In 1654 he obtained his BA, graduating top of the list for Trinity that year. In June of the same year Dryden's father died, leaving him some land which generated a little income, but not enough to live on.

                         Returning to London during the Protectorate, Dryden obtained work with Oliver Cromwell's Secretary of State, John Thurloe. This appointment may have been the result of influence exercised on his behalf by his cousin the Lord Chamberlain, Sir Gilbert Pickering. At Cromwell's funeral on 23 November 1658 Dryden processed with the Puritan poets John Milton and Andrew Marvell. Shortly thereafter he published his first important poem, Heroic Stanzas (1659), a eulogy on Cromwell's death which is cautious and prudent in its emotional display.

       Dryden Translation 

 Dryden many admirers, he also had his share of critics, Mark van Doren among. Virgil’s Aeneid translating.

For example, take lines 789–795 of Book 2 when Aeneas sees and receives a message from the ghost of his wife, Creusa.


iamque vale et nati serva communis amorem.'

haec ubi dicta dedit, lacrimantem et multa volentem

dicere deseruit, tenuisque recessit in auras.

ter conatus ibi collo dare bracchia circum;

ter frustra comprensa manus effugit imago,

par levibus ventis volucrique simillima somno.

sic demum socios consumpta nocte reviso.


Dryden translates it like this:


I trust our common issue to your care.'

She said, and gliding passed unseen in air.

I strove to speak: but horror tied my tongue;

And thrice about her neck my arms I flung,

And, thrice deceived, on vain embraces hung.

Light as an empty dream at break of day,

Or as a blast of wind, she rushed away.

Thus having passed the night in fruitless pain,

I to my longing friends return again

Lockdown by Simon Armitage


And I couldn’t escape the waking dream

of infected fleas


in the warp and weft of soggy cloth

by the tailor’s hearth


in ye olde Eyam.

Then couldn’t un-see


the Boundary Stone,

that cock-eyed dice with its six dark holes,


thimbles brimming with vinegar wine

purging the plagued coins.


Which brought to mind the sorry story

of Emmott Syddall and Rowland Torre,


star-crossed lovers on either side

of the quarantine line


whose wordless courtship spanned the river

till she came no longer.


But slept again,

and dreamt this time


of the exiled yaksha sending word

to his lost wife on a passing cloud,


a cloud that followed an earthly map

of camel trails and cattle tracks,


streams like necklaces,

fan-tailed peacocks, painted elephants,


embroidered bedspreads

of meadows and hedges,


bamboo forests and snow-hatted peaks,

waterfalls, creeks,


the hieroglyphs of wide-winged cranes

and the glistening lotus flower after rain,


the air

hypnotically see-through, rare,


the journey a ponderous one at times, long and slow

but necessarily so.
