Introduction
:-
Edward said was born on 1st
November, 1935 Jerusalem, tsreal.and died on 24st sepetember, 2003
New York City, New York united states. Edward said was a Palestinian
American literary theorist and public intellectual who helped found
the critical theory field of Post colonialism. Orientalism by Edward
said is a foundational text for the academic field of post-colonial
studies.
What
is Orientalism?
"Orientalism”
is a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and
distorts differences of Arab peoples and cultures as compared to that
of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as
exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous. Edward W.
Said, in his groundbreaking book, Orientalism,
defined it as the acceptance in the West of “the basic distinction
between East and West as the starting point for elaborate theories,
epics, novels, social descriptions, and political accounts concerning
the Orient, its people, customs, ‘mind,’ destiny and so on.”
According
to Said, Orientalism dates from the period of European Enlightenment
and colonization of the Arab World. Orientalism provided a
rationalization for European colonialism based on a self-serving
history in which “the West”
constructed “the East” as extremely
different and inferior, and therefore in need of Western intervention
or “rescue”.
Orentalism
can be discussed and analyzed as the corporate institution for
dealing with the orient dealing with it by making statements about
it, authorizing view of it, describing it,by teaching short
orientalism as a western style for dominating, restructuring and
having authority over the orient.
-Edward
said.
The
word orientalist and orientalism broadly described something a kind
words to what we known how as, “area studies.” said outlines…what
he perceived to be the consistent patterns of orientalism in European
literature; the throughout literature all image of the east derive
not from actual encounters or direct knowledge. But the creation and
affirmation or preconceived, resulting in a indigenized orient,
instead of an actual /east.
The
orient as almost a European invention, and had been since anti
quality a place of romance exotic begins, haunting memories and
landscapes, remarkable experiences. “one of
the most important thing Is that orient has helped to define Europe.”
And can we say that none of this orient is merely imaginative.
The
Methodological problems?
(A) Historically and
Materially
(B) Academic
(C) Imaginative Meaning
Three
contemporary aspect:
1) The distinction between
pure and political
2) The Methodological
question
3)
The personal dimension
.Reasonable
qualification:-
Said said that..
1st
qualification; - it would be wrong to conclude that the orient was
essentially an idea, or accretion with no correspond reality.
2nd
qualification: - ideas, cultures, and histories cannot
seriously be understood or studied without their configuration of
power.
There
are three aspect of contemporary reality:-
1.
The distinction between pure and political knowledge.
2.
The methodological question.
3.
The personal dimension.
“The
scoop of Orientalism”
The term
“Orientalism”
derived from Latin word east.
Orientalism is irrational, power of structure, it is more important
of the view. There are most important theme White
man burden. It’s linguistic of the
way. Edward Said is challenged the European or American people
thinking, political issue or Orientalism. Two theme followed by
Knowledge and
power.
Here is a very difficult task of the Arabic or European people but
they have all about structure are important aspect of the Way.
Culture, power, political, intellectual it’s dominated strategy.
Orientalism divided in two part of “Ours”
and “Their” are consequence of the way. Orientalism culture
studies are east or west is connected with “Orient” or
“Occident”. Orient is Middle East specialists. Different
between “Orient” and “Occident”
The
opposite term “Orient” means “East” or “Occident” means
“West”. It is a literary and formal
word for Western. There are relation between power and domination.
Orient mean west or they discuss in English authority of western
world. It is an antonym of Occidental. It is an antonym of Oriental.
“Orient” or “occident” it’s sector creation.
Orient
politically, structure, imperialism different between “The
East is East or West is West.” We
can say that the orient is stereotypes and sophisticated
abstractions. Differentiation creates problems especially political
and other problem are white man or Muslim people. Orientalism
expresses the culture, ideology, economically its stereotype of the
style and imagination. Here comes
‘Hegemony’,
that means we have to be exceptional and if we do not then we becomes
hegemonic.
Edward
Said argument
Orientalism
is and does not simply represent a considerable dimension of modern,
Political, intellectual culture and such had less to do with the
orient than it does with “our” world. The Orientalism divided the
part by Civil- Uncivil, East-West, Occident-Orient, White, Muslim,
Our- there are discuss of the European culture.
Orientalism
(book) Orientalism is a 1978 book by Edward W. Said, in
which Said studies the cultural representations that are the
bases of Orientalism, the West's patronizing perceptions and
fictional depictions of "The East" — the societies and
peoples who inhabit the places of Asia, North Africa, and the Middle
East.
Edward
Said
“My
Orientalism is Middle East or Islam”
Orientalist
structure and Restructure
Second
chapter of Structure or Restructure are Points the slight change in
the attitude of the Europeans towards the Orientals. Artists as well
as scholars were already described as "Orientalists" in the
19th century, especially in France. European
people views are different, the Oriental presented them color of
Orientalist and other is perception. The
structure of orient is nothing more than a structure of lies or the
myths which, were the truth about them to be told, would simply blow
away. History, method, political and academic is a more important of
the oriental. Qualification is that ideas,
culture, and histories cannot seriously
be understood. Human make history, human make their agency it your
life.
Men
make their own history
The
Anglo-French-American experience of the Arab and Islam it is the
intellectual authority of the Oriental or west culture.
Western said- it was their duty to civilize people
or order to achieve their goal and they had to colonize and rule the
orients. European is relationship with power and institution.
Immediately upon doing that an India, Japan, china and other sections
of regions were not important because one could discuss Europe's
experience of the Near Orient. Orientalism is not just idea or
valuable because it material and they are connected with power.
Anglo-French and American orientalism was a kind of intellectual
authority within the western culture. Silvestre de saucy and Ernest
Renan worker are Orientalism a new dimension. Saucy thing is very
different or they information are useful for or the prejudice that
was inherited orientalism. Renan was works important are science,
philosopher and idea of orientalism.
Edward
said:
“Structure
or Restructure for studying authority here are what can be called
strategic location and describing the authors position and strategic
after culture at large”.
Orientalism
Now
The
last chapter of orientalism is changing the politician in 20th
century. Early orientalism didn’t traditional and interacted,
And new orients lived with them as if they were
one of them. The interchange between the
academic and the more or less imaginative meaning of orientalism is a
constant one. There appreciated life style, new trend,
language or culture but they have other followed by role. Previous or
future of orientalism was that culture/religion of orientalism. Thus,
Islam was called mohammadism and Christ was called Christianity.
Domination has been so powerful. Islamic orient
has had to be center of attention. Islamic
oriental did not enjoy this time because Islamic as a week religion,
different rule or they have not expected the new generation. Gibb or
Massignon was the most famous Islamic oriental of this time.
After World War 1 the
centre of oriental’s changed from Europe
to USA. End of World War 2,
all the Europeans colonies were lost and it was believed that there
no more “Orientals” and “Occidents” they not really.
The
methodological question :
A
major lesson I learned and tried to present was that there is no
such thing as a merely given, or simply available , starting point :
beginning have to be made for each project in such a way as to enable
what follows from them.
Yet
what German orientalism had in common with Anglo French and later
American orientalism was a kind of intellectual authority over the
orient within western culture. There is nothing mysterious or natural
about authority.
My
principal methodological devices for studding authority here are what
can be called strategic location , which is a way of
describing the author's position in a text with regard to the
oriental material he writes about, and strategic formation, which is
a way of analyzing the relationship between text and the way in which
groups of texts, types of texts, even textual genres, acquire mass
density , and referential power among themselves and thereafter in
the culture at large. He is never concerned with the orient except as
the first cause of what he says.
Conclusion
Edward
said that Orientalisms are knowledge or power restrict. There are
power dominant structures or constricting of the way. It is not
political subject matter. He shows the
European-Western Imperial power along with the confused feelings of
the Oriental countries towards the Western power. Orientalism is all
about geography, intellectualism, history and politically corporate
of the way.

INTRODUCTION
Hawthorne
talks about the life happiness and the inspirational human life.
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4,1804, in Salem Massachusetts.
He came of a distinguished puritan family which had played an active
role in the history of Massachusetts. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s basic
reputation was that of a short story writer and sketch writer.
Nathaniel Hawthorne write many great and famous novel like,
1)
The scarlet letter (1850)
2)
Twice told tales (1837-1842)
3)
Mosses from an old manse (1848)
4)
Blithedale romance (1852)
5)
The marble fuan(1860)
Nathaniel
Hawthorne’s had built up his reputation as a writer of fine and
delicate craftsmanship , but his best was in front of him yet.in 1845
Hawthorne again went to work as a custom surveyor, this time,
like the narrator of the scarlet letter at a post in Salem.in 1850,
after having lost the job, he published the scarlet letter to
enthusiastic, if not widespread, acclaim.
The
scarlet letter was Hawthorne’s first full length story if we ignore
the earlier failure funshawe (1828) . he died in 1864, a few years
after returning to America. Hawthorne’s work takes America’s
puritan past as its subject , but the scarlet letter uses the
material effect. the scarlet letter , Hawthorne uses the repressive ,
authoritarian puritan society as an analogue for humankind in
general.
The
puritan setting also enables him to portray the human soul under
extreme pressures. Hester Prynne, reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, and
roger Chillingworth, while unquestionably part of the puritan society
in which they live, also reflect universal experiences.
“To
do nothing is the way to be nothing”

Hester Prynne :-
Hester
Prynne , an attractive young woman living among the puritans of
Boston during the 1650s. Hester is the book’s protagonist and
the wearer of the scarlet letter that gives the book its title. The
letter, a patch of fabric in the shape of an “A” , signifies that
Hester is an “adulterer”. As a young woman, Hester married an
elderly scholar, Chillingworth. Who sent her ahead to America to live
but never followed her. While waiting for him, she had an affair with
a puritan minister named Dimmesdale , after which she gave birth to
Pearl.
“ She
could no longer borrow from the future to ease her present grief”
She
became a martyr because she, presumably a window, bears a child out
of wedlock; this sin result in her being jailed and than publically
exhibited on a pillory for three hours. After she is released from
jail, she must wear for a lifetime a scarlet “A” upon her bosom.
Hester gave birth to pearl but Hester refuses to name the child’s
father, who is the father of the child ? who is the reverend Arthur
Dimmesdale, her minister but Hester is passionate but also strong-
she does not quail when her supposedly dead husband, roger
Chillingworth comes from out of the forest to witness her appearance
on the pillory ; an without complaint or self-pity , and also endures
years of shame and scorn. She fight her way back to respectability
and the rights of motherhood also she equals both her husband and her
lover in her intelligence and thoughtfulness.
“she
wanted-what some people want throughout life-a grief that should
deeply touch her, and thus humanize and make her capable of sympathy”
Her
situation is made more poignant and heroic by Dimmesdale lack of
sufficient moral courage to confess that he is pearl’s father.
Hester seems to need no partner to share her guilt. Her
alienation puts her in the position to make actuate observations
about her community , particularly about its treatment of women and
the end of the novel tragedy befalls her when Dimmesdale dies,
but the reader feels that Hester will stoutly and resolutely make her
way through life and Hester is also maternal with respect to society
: she cares for the poor and brings them food and clothing by the
novel’s end. Hester has become a protofeminist mother figure to the
women of the community.
“
the
scarlet letter Hester is portrayed as an intelligent , capable, but
not necessarily extraordinary women. It is extraordinary
circumstances shaping her that make her such an important figure”
Roger
Chillingworth is the pseudonym assumed by Hester scholarly old
husband. In the beginning he was caring person but later on become an
evil friend. Roger Chillingworth is actually Hester’s husband in
disguise. He is much older than she is and had sent her to America
while he settled his affairs in Europe because he is captured by
native Americans, he arrived in Boston belatedly and finds
hester and her illegitimate child being displayed on the scaffold.
The pseudonym assumed by Hester Prynne’s aged scholar husband roger
Chillingworth a ‘physician’. Who might better be called ‘evil’.
He is a symbol of evil of the “devil’s handyman” of one
consumed with revenge and devoid of compassion. Thought to have been
killed by Indians, he Reuters Hester’s life when she first stands
on the pillory. Pretending to minister to the physically ailing
dimmesdale tries only to confirm his suspicion that the minister is
pearl’s father. When Arthur and hester in a
desperate act of hope book passage on a ship to England Chillingworth
also signs up for the voyage and Hester knows she can never escape
him.
Roger
Chillingworth lusts for revenge and thus decides to stay in Boston
despite his wife’s betrayal and disgrace. He is a scholar and uses
his knowledge to disguise himself as a doctor , intent on
discovering and tormenting Hester’s anonymous lover. Although
motivated by the fact of his wife bearing another man’s child,
Chillingworth nevertheless seems inordinately twisted toward
vengeance.
“love,
whether newly born or aroused from a death like slumber, must always
create sunshine , filling the heart so full of radiance, that it
overflows upon the outward world”
Chillingworth
is self absorbed and both physically and psychologically monstrous.
His single-minded pursuit of retribution revels him to be the most
marvelant character in the novel. Conniving, sly, and monomaniacal,
he is more a devilish force than a man. his desire to hurt others
stands in contrast to Hester and dimmasdale’s sin which had love ,
not hate as its intent. Any harm that may have come from the young
lover’s deed was unanticipated and inadvertent, whereas
Chillingworth reaps deliberate harm.
“no
man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and
another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to
which may be the true……..”
3)
Arthur Dimmesdale
The
Arthur dimmesdale a minister in Boston. Dimmesdale is a young
man who achieved fame in England as a theologian and then emigrated
to America. dimmesdale is the unmarried pastor of heater’s
congregation and he is also the father of Hester’s daughter
pearl. At the opening of the novel dimmesdale reminds Hester that her
refused to name him as her fellow sinner will “tempt him-yea compel
him as it were to add hypocrisy to sin”. As the novel progress
dimmesdale justifies his decision to keep his guilty secrets on the
grounds that some men retain.
“
A zeal
for god’s glory and man’s welfare”
And
that in order to be of further service to his fellow creatures he
must of necessity suffer unutterable torment. It is only when
dimmesdale recognizes the folly of this time of thought that he is
able to confess his sin openly before the town and die in relative
place. Dimmesdale secrets guilt and anguish provide much of the
tension throughout the novel. Dimmesdale is a living man, but
inwardly he is the rubble and wreckage resulting from a puritan
conscience. Dimmesdale is an intelligent and emotional man, and his
sermons are thus masterpieces of eloquence and persuasiveness.
Finally, at the end of his election day sermon he takes Hester and
Pearl by the hand ascends the pillory , confess publicly , an sinks
down dead.
4)
Pearl
Pearl
is the illegitimate daughter of Hester and Dimmesdale pearl’s name
is symbolic. Pearl is much expensive. She was ‘as she had’. She
was everything that hester had. Hester soon discourse that pearl
cannot “be made amenable to rules” and she fears that pearl’s
personality was formed at wrong time. Pearl become the living
manifestation of Hester’s sin, hester sees the child as,
“endowed
with a million-fold the power of retribution for my sin!”
When
hester tries to had scarlet “A” from her dress during her forest
rendervous with reverend dimmesdale , it is pearl who insists that
hester return the scarlet “A” to her dress.

The waste Land takes on the
degraded mess that
Eliot considered modern culture to constitute ,
particularly after the first world war had ravaged
Europe. A sign of the pessimism with which Eliot
approaches his subject is the poem 's epigraph
,taken from the Satyricon, in which the sibyl looks
at the future and proclaim that she only wants to
die. The second episode contains a troubled religious
proposition. the speaker describes a true wasteland
of " stony rubbish" in it he says ,man can recognize
only heap of broken image .

transformation .the tarot reader madame sosostris
conducts the most outrageous from of " reading"
possible, transforming a series of vague symbols into
predictions many of which will come thru in
successding sections of the poem.

Images : scene of Ganges River -" was sunken "
series of disparteThe final section of The Waste Land
is dramatic in both its imagery and its events. The
first half of the section builds to an apocalyptic
climax, as suffering people become “hooded hordes
swarming” and the “unreal” cities of Jerusalem,
Athens, Alexandria, Vienna, and London are
destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed again. A decaying
chapel is described, which suggests the chapel in the
legend of the Holy Grail. Atop the chapel, a cock
crows, and the rains come, relieving the drought and
bringing life back to the land. Curiously, no heroic
figure has appeared to claim the Grail; the renewal
has come seemingly at random, gratuitously.

The waste Land.....
Conclusion:-
In
short the waste land at every angle reflected as a modern poem. Poem
is feather on the hat of modern literature and also of modern people.
But the poem has its own pros and cons. Pros in the sense it is gave
the direction to the people. And cons in the sense that poem first
announced as a depersonalizing of the poet but later on the secret
was revealed that poem is totally depends on poet’s own
experiences. Poet and his personal life fully reflected in the poem.
Though it’s not the life of only T.S.Eliot instead of that it is
reflected all the life of modern people.
