"Fear No More" by William Shakespeare

" FEAR NO MORE "


  

 This poem has been taken from Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. This is a death poem having universal appeal. In this poem the poet has expressed his feeling for the rest of the soul of the dead. It is written for the consolation of the dead. The poet wants to say that a dead person becomes free from all kinds of worldly anxieties. It is full of moral lessons. 


    A dead person cannot feel the heat of the sun. A living person has to face the scorching sun and bitter coldness of the winter season. But after death, he gets rid of them. After death a person goes to heaven, which is his permanent home. As a laborer works and goes home after taking his wages, so a dead person goes home with his success and failures. The poet further advises a dead person not to be disappointed from death because death is the fate of every person. It lays its icy hands over all whether he is a handsome fellow, a beautiful girl or a chimney sweeper. All must die one day.



    A dead person is immune from the anger of his master. In his lifetime, he is in financial trouble. He has no sufficient money for buying necessary cloth and proper fund. Consequently, he has no proper cloth to cover his body and proper food to satisfy his hunger. But after death, he does not feel any necessity of these things. Death is very impartial. It does not distinguish between the poor and rich. Kings, learned men, physicians and doctors must die one day.



    A dead man does not fear the lightening flash nor thunder-storm. He is free from public criticism. Joy and sorrow are the same for him. In his life time sometime he is happy and sometimes sad. But after death, he does not feel anything. At last the poet says that death should not be the cause of sorrow because all persons, whether they are young lover or old one, must die and meet the dust. It is lyrical and follows a systematic pattern, example 'the sun' 'done', 'rages', 'wages' 'must' 'dust' etc.

The Guru in the Shadow Tracing Eliot's Indian Footsteps London, 1922. The city streets still smelled of cordite and grief. The war to end all wars had ended, yes, but what came after? A generation shellshocked, a culture fractured, a spiritual void so vast that the cathedrals of Europe could not fill it. Into this wreckage stepped T.S. Eliot , an American expatriate with a Harvard education and a Sanskrit vocabulary, carrying a poem that would become the obituary for Western civilization as it knew itself. The Waste Land didn't just diagnose the disease. It prescribed a cure one that came not from the ruins of Carthage or the ashes of Troy, but from the banks of the Ganges and the silence of the Himalayas. Eliot's masterpiece is often read as a lament, a five-part dirge for a world that lost its way. But what if we've been reading it wrong? What if The Waste Land is not a complaint but a quest a...

From Puritan Restraint to Restoration Wit From Puritan Restraint to Restoration Wit: Literature in Transition Our professor recently encouraged us to explore the ways in which political and religious contexts shape literary production. The Puritan Age (1620–1660) and the Restoration Age (1660–1700) together provide one of the best examples of this relationship. In just a few decades, English literature moved from stern moralism to playful wit, from biblical seriousness to worldly pleasures. This blog reflects on that journey by examining the influence of politics and religion, presenting a comparative timeline, debating the literary “liberation” of the Restoration, and finally imagining a dialogue between two towering figures— John Milton and John Dryden . Q1. Literature in the Puritan and Restoration Ages The Puritan Age was a period dominated by strict religious values and moral discipline. With the Civil War and the rise of Oliver Cromwell’s Comm...
