SR : literature and religion : Northrop Frye- ritual, myth and archetypes of literature.

         
            Hello readers!
            Here is my blog on Northrop Frye and ritual, myth and archetypes of literature. This blog is given by Professor Dilip Barad Sir.

            There is a very close relationship between literature and religion. literary criticism the term archetype denotes narrative designs, pattern of action, character type, theme and images which are identified in a major term of literature as well as in myth and social ritual.

             Archetypal Criticism as it applies to literature is a form of criticism " that interprets a text by focusing on recurring myths and archetypes". 

      

            Archetype in literary criticism , a primordial image, characters or pattern of circumstances that recurs throughout literature and thought consistently enough to be considered a universal concept or situation.

Archetypes in literary criticism as critics we find many characters and he considered God as man in archetypal criticism, So here God is superior as normally but we can see as archetype so here God is portrayed as a man or as a character.  If we can see Ramayan so there is Ram as God but in the archetypes literature we can consider him as a character.

  

Similarly religion is not associated with scientific actuality, with religion how things look like. Religion provides both form and substance for all literary culture. Literary criticism works on conceivability. Likewise,  religion functions on conceivability. There can be no place for scientific actuality in both, but what is conceived is accepted by all. So both religion and literature work in its place. It is the revelation of God and truth. So there is a relationship between literature and religion.
