Poe's short story understanding Reflective blog
Thinking Activities according to this link
On 16th August to 19th August we have guest lecture for Edger Allan Poe short story explain by Dr.Jay Mehtasir. This are the five short story:-
1) The Fall of House
2) The Purloined Letter
3) The Gold Bug
4) The Tell Tale Heart
5) The Cask of Amontillado
01) Make a comparative study of 'The Tell-tale Heart' and 'The Black Cat'.
‘The Tell tale Heart’ is kind of self conference story while also self conference story. Both story narrative style is different because we can not decide who is ‘The Tell tale Heart' story narrator. In this story, the narrator is ‘I' so how can we decided who is narrate he or she. This is a story of a servant killed his Ower because of his ower queer eye. While 'The Black cat' story related to one person killed the cat because of his ego hurt then he killed his wife also. Both story crime reason one hatred eye. One is person eye and The black cat story protagonist haterd black cat eye.
02) Elucidate various narrative techniques in Poe's stories pleasurable they help in achieving the 'pre-conceived effect'?
Yes, Poe's stories pleasurable they help in achieving the the ‘pre-conceived’ effect like horror and terror, if we read his story at night with constraints so we would feel that horrible effect on over mind. Most of Poe’s short story as like positive word and narrative techniques is real unique. In the story Poe’s character image don’t described as criminal but showed as normal human beings and their acts are called psychological disordered human.
03) Write a note on the various psychological disorders to be found in the characters of the stories and their significance to that particular text.
Jaysir explained Sigmund Freud’s human Ego concept like ID Ego, Ego, Super Ego.
Jaysir explain this story and introduce various concepts as like what is PERVERSENES? – Perverseness is one of the primitive impulses of the human heart. One of the indivisible primary faculties or sentiment, which give direction to the character of man.
Explained this psychological disorder -
What is Sadism ?
A sadist is someone who enjoys inflicting pain on others. Sadists like seeing other people hurt. So most of Poe’s stories main characters are suffering from sadism.
Masochism –
Masochism is the practice of seeking pain because it is pleasure.
Hypochondriac –
An individual with hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily or mental symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. This mental disorders shown when we analyzed Poe's stories main characters.
Paranoid Schizophrenia
Hallucinations –
A perception of having seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled something that wasn't actually there. These mental disorders we can also notice to read his story. For example “The Tell – Tale Heart” servant killed his ower even servant heard that dead person voice so it called Hallucinations. Most of his stories criminals are facing same mental disorders.
04) Analyze the genre of short story keeping in mind Poe's works. References of stories by other writers and/or regional writers are expected in it.
I analysis to focus on the genre of short stories, so these things are more appropriate to analysing short story as like setting, plot, characterization, plot and structure, conflict and climax, theme and narrative point of view. Here analyse of Poe's short story it is type of Gothic story or horror story. Poe's story setting is also horrible and main character actions are also horrible. He also follow climax and conflict for example The Tell Tale heart story starting as smoothly but end with murdered. Characters are shown they have conflict what to do and how can do crime ?
Most of I didn’t read story book but I remember some of the story which were in my syllabus. Out syllabus I read some of Jayantilal Gohil's short story. But here one short story “Garasani” by Zaverchand Meghani this story main character action as like terrible.
05) Read the translation of 'The Tell-tale Heart' by Mr. Paresh Vyas and published in a leading Gujarati dailyy Gujarat Samachar dated 18-08-'19. Note down your observations about that translation.
I read “The Tale Heart” translation by Mr.Paresh Vyas and I observe that how translation ultimately change real story tone because when I read original story at that time I felt horror but while I read translation during I hadn’t felt story like horror. I think may be every languages have different word power which use by master so it attached more than translation. This same horror feeling I felt when I was read original Gujarati short story Mansangh and Pankor Dhoshi so that is power of particular language writers.
At last day Jaysir told us how to write poem and suggest to read lot then write something.
So thank you Jaysir for these wonderful session and I would like thanks to our professor Dilip Baradsir for organized that fruitful session for us.
