What is It Literature broadly refers to any collection of written or oral work, but it more commonly and narrowly refers to writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose (fiction, non-fiction), epic drama, poetry forms and the like, in contrast to academic writing and newspapers. Literature, as an art form, can also include works in various non-fiction genres, such as autobiography, diaries, memoir, letters, and the essay, as well as in the disciplines of history and philosophy. The literatures of Europe are compiled in many languages; among the most important of the modern written works are those in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Modern Greek, Czech, Russian, Macedonian, the Scandinavian languages, Gaelic and Turkish. Important classical and medieval European literary traditions are those in Latin, Ancient Greek, Old Bulgarian, Macedonian, Old Norse, Medieval French and the Italian Tuscan dialect of the renaissance.

It was the second of Sophocles‘ three Theban plays to be produced, but it comes first in the internal chronology (followed by “Oedipus at Colonus” and then “Antigone”). It follows the story of King Oedipus of Thebes as he discovers that he has unwittingly killed his own father, Laius, and married his own mother, Jocasta. Over the centuries, it has been regarded by many as the Greek tragedy par excellence and certainly as the summit of Sophocles’ achievements. Shortly after Oedipus’ birth, his father, King Laius of Thebes, learned from an oracle that he, Laius, was doomed to perish by the hand of his own son, and so ordered his wife Jocasta to kill the infant. However, neither she nor her servant could bring themselves to kill him and he was abandoned to elements. There he was found and brought up by a shepherd, before being taken in and raised in the court of the childless King Polybus of Corinth as if he were his own son. Stung by rumors that he was not the biological son of the king, Oedipus consulted an oracle which foretold that he would marry his own mother and kill his own father. Desperate to avoid this foretold fate, and believing Polybus and Merope to be his true parents, Oedipus left Corinth. On the road to Thebes, he met Laius, his real father, and, unaware of each other’s true identities, they quarreled and Oedipus‘ pride led him to murder Laius, fulfilling part of the oracle’s prophecy. Later, he solved the riddle of the Sphinx and his reward for freeing the kingdom of Thebes from the Sphinx’s curse was the hand of Queen Jocasta (actually his biological mother) and the crown of the city of Thebes. The prophecy was thus fulfilled, although none of the main characters were aware of it at this point. 12 Representative texts and authors from Europe Literature of the Ancient Greece: Oedipus the King 14 A priest and the Chorus of Theban elders are calling on King Oedipus to aid them with the plague which has been sent by Apollo to ravage the city. Oedipus has already sent Creon, his brother-in-law, to consult the oracle at Delphi on the matter, and when Creon returns at that very moment, he reports that the plague will only end when the murderer of their former king, Laius, is caught and brought to justice. Oedipus vows to find the murderer and curses him for the plague that he has caused. Oedipus also summons the blind prophet Tiresias, who claims to know the answers to Oedipus‘ questions, but refuses to speak, lamenting his ability to see the truth when the truth brings nothing but pain. He advises Oedipus to abandon his search but, when the enraged Oedipus accuses Tiresias of complicity in the murder, Tiresias is provoked into telling the king the truth, that he himself is the murderer. Oedipus dismisses this as nonsense, accusing the prophet of being corrupted by the ambitious Creon in an attempt to undermine him, and Tiresias leaves, putting forth one last riddle: that the murderer of Laius will turn out to be both father and brother to his own children, and the son of his own wife. Oedipus demands that Creon be executed, convinced that he is conspiring against him, and only the intervention of the Chorus persuades him to let Creon live. Oedipus‘ wife Jocasta tells him he should take no notice of prophets and oracles anyway because, many years ago, she and Laius received an oracle which never came true. This prophecy said that Laius would be killed by his own son but, as everyone knows, Laius was actually killed by bandits at a crossroads on the way to Delphi. The mention of crossroads causes Oedipus to give pause and he suddenly becomes worried that Tiresias‘ accusations may actually have been true. When a messenger from Corinth arrives with news of the death of King Polybus, Oedipus shocks everyone with his apparent happiness at the news, as he sees this as proof that he can never kill his father, although he still fears that he may somehow commit incest with his mother. The messenger, eager to ease Oedipus‘ mind, tells him not to worry because Queen Merope of Corinth was not in fact his real mother anyway. The messenger turns out to be the very shepherd who had looked after an abandoned child, which he later took to Corinth and gave up to King Polybus for adoption. He is also the very same shepherd who witnessed the murder of Laius. By now, Jocasta is beginning to realize the truth, and desperately begs Oedipus to stop asking questions. But Oedipus presses the shepherd, threatening him with torture or execution, until it finally emerges that the child he gave away was Laius’ own son, and that Jocasta had given the baby to the shepherd to secretly be exposed upon the mountainside, in fear of the prophecy that Jocasta said had never come true: that the child would kill its father. With all now finally revealed, Oedipus curses himself and his tragic destiny and stumbles off, as the Chorus laments how even a great man can be felled by fate. A servant enters and explains that Jocasta, when she had begun to suspect the truth, had ran to the palace bedroom and hanged herself there. Oedipus enters, deliriously calling for a sword so that he might kill himself and raging through the house until he comes upon Jocasta‘s body. In final despair, Oedipus takes two long gold pins from her dress, and plunges them into his own eyes. Now blind, Oedipus begs to be exiled as soon as possible, and asks Creon to look after his two daughters, Antigone and Ismene, lamenting that they should have been born into such a cursed family. Creon counsels that Oedipus should be kept in the palace until oracles can be consulted regarding what is best to be done. England- Age of Restoration (1660–1700) 13 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, and widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written. Representative Text Paradise Lost John Milton Paradise Lost has two narrative arcs, one about Satan (Lucifer) and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, also called in the poem, Tartarus. In Pandæmonium, the capital city of Hell, Satan employs his rhetorical skill to organize his followers; he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub. Belial and Moloch are also present. At the end of the debate, Satan volunteers to corrupt the newly created Earth and God's new and most favoured creation, Mankind. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas. After an arduous traversal of the Chaos outside Hell, he enters God's new material World, and later the Garden of Eden. At several points, an Angelic War over Heaven is recounted from different perspectives. Satan's rebellion follows the epic convention of large-scale warfare. The battles between the faithful angels and Satan's forces take place over three days. At the final battle, the Son of God single-handedly defeats the entire legion of angelic rebels and banishes them from Heaven. Following this purge, God creates the World, culminating in his creation of Adam and Eve. While God gave Adam and Eve total freedom and power to rule over all creation, he gave them one explicit command: not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil on penalty of death. Adam and Eve are having a romantic and sexual relationship while still being without sin. They have passions and distinct personalities. Satan, disguised in the form of a serpent, successfully tempts Eve to eat from the Tree by preying on her vanity and tricking her with rhetoric. Adam, learning that Eve has sinned, knowingly commits the same sin. He declares to Eve that since she was made from his flesh, they are bound to one another- – if she dies, he must also die. Adam was seen as a heroic figure, but also as a greater sinner than Eve, as he is aware that what he is doing is wrong. Soon as they fall asleep, both have terrible nightmares, and after they awake, they experience guilt and shame for the first time. Realizing that they have committed a terrible act against God, they engage in mutual recrimination. Meanwhile, Satan returns triumphantly to Hell, amid the praise of his fellow fallen angels. He tells them about how their scheme worked and Mankind has fallen, giving them complete dominion over Paradise. As he finishes his speech, however, the fallen angels around him become hideous snakes, and soon enough, Satan himself turns into a snake, deprived of limbs and unable to talk. Thus, they share the same punishment, as they shared the same guilt. Eve appeals to Adam for reconciliation of their actions. Her encouragement enables them to approach God, and sue for grace, bowing on supplicant knee, to 16 receive forgiveness. In a vision shown to him by the Archangel Michael, Adam witnesses everything that will happen to Mankind until the Great Flood. Adam is very upset by this vision of the future, so Michael also tells him about Mankind's potential redemption from original sin through Jesus Christ (whom Michael calls "King Messiah"). Adam and Eve are cast out of Eden, and Michael says that Adam may find "a paradise within thee, happier far." Adam and Eve also now have a more distant relationship with God, who is omnipresent but invisible (unlike the tangible Father in the Garden of Eden). 17th Century Russian Literature Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (August 1828 – November 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time, He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1910. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. Representative Text Anna Karenina Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy tracks the life of aristocrat Anna Karenina and her tryst with Count Vronsky. The novel is staged in the late nineteenth century at the height of major political and social changes in Russia. Anna Karenina includes dozens of characters that portray a realistic account of Russian society during this period. Dolly, Kitty's sister, discovered her husband Stiva having an affair. Anna Karenina consoles Dolly and convinces her to stay with her husband. Meanwhile, Kitty is proposed to by Konstantin Levin. She turns him down because she is in love with Count Vronsky. Count Vronsky shows no interest in Kitty. Upon meeting Anna, he falls in love with and courts her even though she is already married. At a ball, Anna and Vronsky give each other so much attention that Kitty realizes she will never be with him. Anna returns to St. Petersburg followed by Count Vronsky, while Konstantin returns to his estate in the countryside heartbroken. Torn apart by Vronsky's affection for Anna, Kitty becomes ill and goes to a healing center. Kitty comes back to St. Petersburg feeling better and more prepared to be a wife. Anna and Count Vronsky consummate their relationship. She struggles with her roles as wife and mistress. Anna becomes pregnant with Count Vronsky's child and tells her husband, Karenin, of the affair. Konstantin Levin focuses on his farm and tries to find meaning in life without Kitty. He watches as his brother falls deathly ill from tuberculosis. Despite Anna being pregnant with his child, Count Vronsky refuses to commit himself to her. He struggles to choose between his love for Anna and his career goals. Anna rejects the option to stay with her husband; however, she doesn't know what to do since she cannot depend on Vronsky for support. Levin and Kitty become engaged. Although Anna refused him, Karenin does his best to appear happy with his marriage in public. However, after becoming angry with the circumstances, he hires a divorce lawyer. Anna becomes ill with puerperal fever and is on her deathbed when Karenin forgives her for the affair and says that she can be with Vronsky. Although Karenin was 18 willing to give her one, Anna refuses divorce because she is afraid that she will lose her son. Humiliated by his past actions and unwillingness to support Anna, Vronsky unsuccessfully attempts suicide. Anna and Vronsky travel together after she is better. Kitty and Levin are married and struggle with the reality of married life. Kitty becomes pregnant. Anna and Vronsky return from Italy. After seeing her son again, Anna realizes how alone she feels. She becomes desperate to legitimize her relationship with Vronsky. Although Vronsky advises against it, Anna attends the opera, where she is treated insultingly. Vronsky is angry that she didn't listen to him, while Anna is furious with him for not understanding her social position. The two move to the countryside, but the relationship begins to deteriorate. Dolly visits Anna. She realizes that Anna's life is cold compared to her life. Anna confesses that Vronsky's interest is waning. At the same time, Count Vronsky feels suffocated by Anna's intense love, which becomes apparent when Anna requests he return home during a political convention. Upon realizing the relationship with Vronsky will not endure, Anna commits suicide. Count Vronsky enlists in the Russian military. Meanwhile, a peaceful Levin learns that the meaning of life is about living for the good of humanity.

PROSE is the most regular, easiest and simplest form of writing; you basically need no skill in writing this. It is however written in chapters and verses that is how you recognise them. They are also a continuous form of writing, which basically the aim of a prose is to narrate a story. Prose can be of any form, but first it comes in two types, which is the fictitious and non -fictitious, fictitious prose tends to be more interesting, because it is the creativity of a writer that makes people want to read a myth instead of the true story. DRAMA on the hand is basically a style of writing that portrays the actions of men, and this genre of literature comes in dialogue and is written in scenes because it should originally been acted on a stage, before being written down. POETRY is the most difficult genre. Many people write prose and call it poetry, however without the add-ons of figures of speeches and literary devices, a work can never be considered a poem. 20 Poetry consists the more formal metrical structure of verse. Poetry often involves a metrical or rhyming scheme. What Is Structure In A Poem? The structure of a poem refers to the way it is presented to the reader. This could include technical things such as the line length and stanza format. Or it could include the flow of the words used and ideas conveyed. 1. Line length shows the reader how it should be read. Short lines are usually read faster, with more emotion. Longer lines slow down the pace of a poem. Choosing appropriate line breaks gives a reader a chance to take a natural breath. Those who write poetry pay careful attention to elements like sentence length, word placement and even how lines are grouped together. 2. Rhythm or the beat that the poem follows. This will typically be measured in meters (sets of syllables that are stressed and unstressed) that the reader will sing along with. Consider the rhythmic effect of music and the words. What emotions does the singer display? The notes and the meter may be fast at first, but they may slow down later on. This rhythm affects the message as a whole. 3. Stanzas, the groups of lines, are like paragraph in prose. They contain a central idea. Having multiple stanzas gives readers a chance to focus on multiple ideas. Think about a page with writing. Is it more manageable to read it if all the words flow together as one paragraph or if they are broken apart into appropriate paragraphs? The same works with poetry. 4. Consistency Structure also refers to the consistency used throughout the poem. An author might start each line with a certain part of speech, or a repeated line or phrase is used at the same spot in each stanza. When a poem has a strong sense of structure, it flows from beginning to end, and the ideas are easily conveyed. Here is an example of rhyme in poetry. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth (an excerpt) I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Structure of Poetry and Its Elements The Line: A line in a poem is not the same as a sentence. Just because the words are placed in a single line, does not mean that the thought is complete. 21 As you read through a poem, and you come to the end of a line where there is no punctuation after the last word, there is no need to pause – navigate to the start of the next line and continue reading. For example, in the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe. It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, SUMMARY OF LITERARY TEXT ELEMENTS Author/ Representative Literary Period Text Genre/structure/elements 22 Count Lev Nikolayevich/ 17th Century Russian Literature Anna Karenina Genre: prose poetry/, written in chapters Family Drama, Romance, Tragedy, Literary Fiction Elements: Theme: • Social Change in Nineteenth-Century Russia • The Philosophical Value of Farming • The Blessings of Family Life • Adultery • Forgiveness • Death Setting: • Late 19th Century Moscow, Petersburg, The Russian Countryside • a time of insane amounts of intellectual fervor and debate about what direction Russia should take in becoming a modern nation.

Write your answer on the space provided in each item. The Satanic Verses Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie first published in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad Gabreel and Saladin are both Indian Muslims living in England. Gibreel Farishta is a successful film actor who has suffered a recent bout of mental illness and who is in love with an English mountain climber, Alleluia Cone. Saladin Chamcha is a voice actor who has had a falling out with his father. Gibreel and Saladin meet on a flight from Bombay (Mumbai) to London, and the plane is hijacked by Sikh terrorists. During an argument the terrorists accidently detonate a bomb, destroying the aircraft over the English Channel. Gibreel and Saladin miraculously survived the tribulation, and were the fortunate survivors, falling into the Atlantic Ocean. As Gibreel descends, he is transformed into the angel Gabriel and has a series of dreams. The first one is a revisionist history of the founding of Islam. The character based on Muhammad is called Mahound, and he is attempting to found a monotheistic religion in the polytheistic town of Jahilia. As in an apocryphal legend, Mahound receives a vision allowing the worship of three goddesses, but, after realizing that the confirming revelation was sent by the devil, he recants. A quarter century later one of his disciples ceases to believe in Mahound’s religion, but the town of Jahilia converts. Prostitutes in a brothel take the names of Mahound’s wives before the brothels are closed. Later Mahound falls ill and dies, with his final vision being of one of the goddesses. Saladin is transformed into the devil as he falls, and he later grows horns and goat legs with cloven hoofs. The two men crawl onto the coast, and Saladin is arrested as an illegal immigrant. After being hospitalized, he escapes, only to find that his wife is having an affair with one of his friends. His misfortunes continue as he loses his job. However, his rage at Gibreel for failing to intervene when he was arrested eventually transforms Saladin back into a fully human man. In the meantime, Gibreel is reunited with Alleluia, but an angel tells him to leave her and spread the word of God in London. He is hit by the car of an Indian film producer, who plans a trio of religious films in which Gibreel will star as an archangel. Later, Gibreel and Saladin meet at a party, and Saladin decides to kill 28 him. However, although he has various opportunities, he does not murder Gibreel and instead induces him to believe that Alleluia has several lovers. Gibreel eventually realizes that Saladin has tricked him and resolves to kill him. However, when Gibreel finds Saladin in a burning building, he rescues him. Saladin has thoughts of his family in India where his beautiful hometown reminds him of the best of his life. Upon learning that his father is dying, Saladin returns to Bombay and reconciles with him. He inherits a substantial sum of money and reconnects with a former girlfriend. Separately, Gibreel and Alleluia also travel to Bombay, and a jealous Gibreel murders her and then kills himself.
