My views on the Archetypal criticism by Northrop Frye


My views on the Archetypal criticism by Northrop Frye are as under :-
                                             


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

 Ans:- According to Carl G. Jung archetypal criticism means ‘‘Primordial images,’’ the ‘‘Psychic residue’’ of repeated patterns of experience in our very ancient ancestors which, he maintained, survive in the ‘‘collective unconscious’’ of the human race and are expressed in myths, religion, dreams, and private fantasies, as well as in works of literature.
2What is Frye trying prove by giving an analogy of ' Physics to Nature' and 'Criticism to Literature'?
Ans:- Here Frye trying to prove by giving an analogy of ‘physics to nature’ and ‘criticism to literature’ is that physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature, and a student of it says that he is learning physics, not that he is learning nature. Art, like nature, is the subject of a systematic study, and has to be distinguished from the study itself, which is criticism.

3)
Share your views of Criticism as an organised body of knowledge. Mention relation of literature with history and philosophy.
Ans:- Criticism as an organized body of knowledge can be learned progressively; and experience shows that there is also something progressive about the learning of literature. It is directly connected with history and philosophy because history stands for events and philosophy stands for idea. 
4) Briefly explain inductive method with illustration of Shakespeare's Hamlet's Grave Digger's scene.

Ans:-This Inductive method towards the archetype is a process of baking up. As we back up from a painting if we want to see composition instead of brushwork. Shakespeare’s Hamlet’s grave – digging scene in which applied inductive method. First of all Hamlet looking at the Yorick scull and then step back Hamlet’s fighting with Laertes because of Ophelia’s death, because Hamlet truly love Ophelia.

5)
Briefly explain deductive method with reference to an analogy to Music, Painting, rhythm and pattern. Give examples of the outcome of deductive method.
Frye with the reference of Music and Painting tries to explain deductive method. He says that music has rhythm and painting has pattern. Perhaps we cannot understand the rhythm or music at first listening but with the blink of eye we can get the pattern of the painting. Thus literature is the only bridge between music and painting.
       6) Refer to the Indian seasonal grid (below). If you can, please readsmall      Gujarati or Hindi or English poem from the archetypal approach and apply Indian seasonal grid in the interpretation. 
              Here is a Indian season  winter is  refleted.

Winter! Oh dear our sweet winter,
 You are our only lovely time hinter.
 We wait for you again waking soon,
Sun rays fall we do get warm boon.

Even at noon we search a blanket,
Some feel happy some wear jacket.
Basket brings a little girl for flower,
She moves toward Church's tower.

Some burn candle and do get light,
Few get fun watching weather's fight.
Might is father he stays in heaven,
He has made Nature in colours seven.

Christmas and New Year come here,
Oh winter you fill us sure in cheer.
You are also one cute sweet season,
You come near us with new reason.

Vision we spread over fog and mist,
Oh dear winter you do write our list.
By touch of mist shines the splinter,
Winter! Oh dear our sweet winter.
Winter! Oh Dear Winter
