Archetype of Literature - Northrop Frye

Archetype of Literature - Northrop Frye

1) What is Frye trying to prove by giving an analogy of physics to nature and criticism to literature?
     
    Whatever we study is all about nature. For example physics, chemistry, biology, criticism and other subjects also. Frye says that physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature. But students says that they are learning physics not nature. We knows that in physics the learning is about nature.

In literature the same thing happens. All art is the study of Nature and criticism is the study of arts. So he says that one can not teach learn literature, but yes one can learn how to criticize. We says that "I feel cold " but in literary  sense.

2) What is Archetypal Criticism? What does the archetypal critic do? 

    Archetypal criticism is a type of critical theory that interprets a text by concentrating on recurring archetypes and myths and archetypes in the narrative, symbols, images and character types in literary word. Themes which are identified in a wide variety of works of literature. Dreams, social rituals also comes in this term.

3) Share your views of criticism as an organized body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy. 

    

    In criticism we find all the basics rules with organization. In proper way. In the journals and scholarly monographs has every characteristic of a science. 

                                      

     In this term everything examined by test, proof and evidence is also examined scientifically, field are investigated scientifically, texts are edited scientifically. So we can say whole works happened in pattern. Thus, we can conclude that criticism as an organized body of knowledge. 

                                       

     We knows that literature is all about a specific phenomenon, or events, or ideas. We can not study the literary genre without the help of the literature. So students must have history of the literature and philosopher for ideas. This both things are necessary for literature.

4) Briefly explain inductive method with illustrations of Shakespeare 's Hamlet 's Grave Digger 's scene. 

      In the play  " Hamlet " we find inductive method during grave digging scene. In this method the process goes with specific to general. 

                                        

      For instance, is an intricate verbal texture ranging from the puns of the first clown to the danse ma cabre of the Yorick 's soliloquy, one thing is about corruption and decay. We find hero 's Liebestod and first unequivocal declaration of love. So by backing up we find more information about that.
