Frost's poetry reflects that he always kept the distance from the cities and lives in rural areas in the company of natural environment. Through his poems, we can reach to a philosophical conclusion that the Frost's moral of the poem is that real life, with all its hard labor, can give greater pleasure than all fanciful dreams of man. Idle dreaming is rejected in favor of life and reality.             Socialism through Natural Imagery In "Stopping by                           Woods on a Snowy Evening"                                           The Poem is short, its subject unexceptional.

It is based on his personal experience and inner observation and the faulty society of America. In this poem Ginsburg gives the idea of madness, addiction, sexuality, power, religious connections, sorrows, pathos, freedom, confinement and norms of the society. Overall, we can say the poet presents perspectives on America, criticizing conformity and outdated social norms, aiming to shock the readership by describing parts of society which they usually reject, those who challenge these norms and rebel against them.                                        Theme of Madness                     In 'Howl', madness is relative and the poem shows madness to be a kind of elevated state filled with hallucinations and visions.

                               Critical appreciation of 'Mowing'                   As the speaker labors in his farm field on a quiet, hot day, he can't helpbut notice that his scythe seems to be whispering as it works. He can't exactly hear what the scythe is saying, and he admits that there is a chance that the whispering sound is simply in his own mind because of the qitetness of the day or perhaps due to the heat of the sun playing tricks on him. The speaker realizes that the scythe is teaching him a lesson about the value of work and happiness in the world. Instead of dreaming about inactivity or reward for its labor as a person would, the scythe takes its sole pleasure from his hard work.                  It receives satisfaction from its dedication and hard work in the field. As the poem ends, the narrator reaches the realization that internal fulfillment can be found in an honest day's labor. This poem is very unique in many ways, but none as much as

                                                Introduction                     Symbolism is a technique, employed by a large number of playwrights, in which an object or a metaphor is described having meaning and implications beyond its apparent meaning.                     Many of the symbols used in "Death of a Salesman" have specifically American connotations. Even in the setting of the play, symbolism and expressionistic technique are obvious.It is a play full of symbolism and themes that are intervened with one another throughout the entire play.                   Symbols used in 'Death of a Salesman'       1.

                                         Introduction                     The twentieth century was a time of great change and development for the American Drama, and this development parallels the development and prosperity of the nation itself. However, twentieth century drama characterized by dramatization of novels and melodrama plays of high qualities. It was until 20th century that pure American drama appeared. In 20th century Realism continued to be - a primary form of dramatic expression, even as the experimentation and the production of plays became increasingly interesting. Such famous American dramatists are Eugene O' Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller reached profound new levels of Realism, using individual characters and their situations on the state of American society in general. The playwright Arthur Miller is one of that generation. Miller's main achievement of the play " Death of a Salesman " which won many awards. Many critics descri

                                   Introduction                      Death of a Salesman is typically classified as a modern tragedy. This implies that it follows the example of classic Greek tragedies and Shakespearean and Jacobean tragedy. There are, however subtle but vital difference between these forms. Aristotle's classic view of tragedy saw the form as one which only properly deals with the fate of Gods, kings and heroes. In the twentieth century, such as restricted definition would consign tragedy to the waste bin of literary history. Consequently in 'Death of Salesman', a Miller challenges this view and presents us with an entirely new one. Our increasingly secular world no longer believes in Gods, and kings and heroes are increasingly humbled, brought down to the level of ordinary men and women.                                  Modern Tragedy of Miller                     Tragedy is not only the property of the classical world or the Shakespearean world
