Alexander Pope was an 18th-century English poet. He is best known for his satirical verse, including Essay on Criticism, The Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad, and for his translation of Homer. He is the second-most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations after Shakespeare.( Wikipedia )   Image taken from fine art America . Ode on Solitude . Happy the man, whose wish and care A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air, In his own ground. Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, Whose flocks supply him with attire, Whose trees in summer yield him shade, In winter fire. Blest! who can unconcern'dly find Hours, days, and years slide soft away, In health of body, peace of mind, Quiet by day, Sound sleep by night; study and ease Together mix'd; sweet recreation, And innocence, which most does please, With meditation. Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me die; Steal from the world, and ...

Quality” by John Galsworthy was first published in “The Inn of Tranquility: Studies and Essays” in 1912.

Wizards celebrate the two major Christian festivals, Easter and Christmas. Hallowe’en and Valentine's Day also have Christian origins. There is no single scene in Harry Potter series where children are praying or going to church or even remembering God in there worst time. Though We can not claim that there is not at all any reference of Religion in Harry Potter series. The basic story line or the roots of It easily of unconsciously connected with Harry Potter. Harry Potter as son of god, gifted one. People have hope in him and people are ready to sacrifice for him Albus Dumbledore owned a copy of the Christian Bible.

The feminist ideals in Harry Potter are most easily seen through the lead female character, Hermione Granger, as she is a manifestation of the author herself within the text. “Hermione is me,” Rowling has said in several interviews, “A caricature of me when I was younger”. Rowling has said that, as a child, “she was perceived as being very bossy and often the brightest one in her class, and those traits she gave to Hermione” (Gladstein 50) As Rowling made Hermione’s character with many  weaknesses, and strength,  feminist critics often attack Hermione for her weaknesses, criticizing her for being emotional, bookish, and in driven position by hero or other characters. Hermione carrying purse and find everything one need it on it  feminist reader may also raise their question that why only carrying purse with them. Rowling includes several other strong female characters in her stories; one of the strongest characters in Harry Potter is Professor Minerva McGonagall. L...

Harry Potter is not only a Children literature it is packed with interesting ideas and insights. Harry's journey from childhood to his Young age teach us various important or life long messages. When I watched Harry Potter series as Academic activity I found it more helpful to build confidence, to get rid from fear and fight for ultimate truth or justice. Harry, Hermione and Ron's quest to rid the world of its ultimate evil is one of the main things that make this series special. Hermione stand for friends... Stand against evil... Ron stand for sacrifice. Etc., Through these characters decisions we learn life Long lessons. Harry is gifted one though he fight for prove himself. It shows his real heroism. Thus, Harry is moderate person not believe that all done by him and Heroism comes with Modesty not with I, Me and Myself. Eradication of evil, good also become Evil then who win ? It is good who defeated Evil is not vanishing. Go to main blog For further Rea...

Blood status is  also called purity of blood . This  is a concept in the wizarding world that distinguishes between family trees that have different levels of magically-endowed members. It often results in prejudice towards those who have a large number of Muggles in their families. As Sirius Black informed Harry Potter, almost all wizards of their time have Muggles in their family trees, though some claim not to. The concept played a key role in both the First and Second Wizarding Wars. Families that claim to be pure, to whatever extent they ever really were, are dwindling in number. Child born with magic to two Muggle parents is considered a Muggle-born and they are allowed in Hogwarts A school of Wizardry and Witchcraft. Those with prejudice against Muggles and their families often refer to such wizards as "Mud bloods," a highly offensive term implying that the individual has dirty and inferior blood. Those who discriminate against Muggle-born believe that they do...

Theme of Love and death Love Love plays a crucial role in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," as well as all of the remaining books in the series. Rowling demonstrates the power of love from the very beginning of the narrative by explaining that Harry's ability to survive Voldemort's killing curse is a direct result of his mother's love. By sacrificing her own life to save that of her son, Lily Potter gave Harry an magical form of protection that shielded him from Voldemort's curse and nearly destroyed the dark wizard. As Professor Dumbledore asserts, Voldemort is incapable of understanding love, particularly in comparison to the strength of his own dark power, and so he was taken entirely by surprise when it came to Lily's sacrifice. Death Near the end of the book, Professor Dumbledore tells Harry, "Death is but the next great adventure." Rowling does not describe death as something to be feared or dreaded, but rather a part ...

Theme of Choice Vs. Chance 1.The question of choice versus chance runs throughout the Harry Potter series. The question appears first at the end of Chamber of Secrets, when Riddle/Voldemort tells Harry that "it was merely a lucky chance that saved you"  2 After he is told that Lily's sacrifice was the reason he had not been able to kill baby Harry. Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry that "it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." 3 Throughout the series, Voldemort continues to insist on chance as the cause of his downfall, right up to the bitter end. 4 Dumbledore, by contrast, insists on the importance of personal choice in determining outcomes, rather than either chance or fate. Rowling has said that Dumbledore often speaks for her (and Voldemort certainly does not), so it seems that she would also believe in choice rather than chance. Although Harry Potter is a magical world in which fate (such as the house as...

Harry Potter is simply not a popular Children literature but from very beginning to end deeply pondering upon system like magic ministry and Hogwarts itself an education system possess power and in variety of Minor scenes where we can apply Foucauldian lens to see power play and politics. But where are the politics? At the most specific levels Rowling provides the readers with a outline of a political system: the ministry of magic. This parallel political system is kept secret from the ―non magical people the ―muggles. The ministry of magic is the law making body in Harry‘s wizarding world. Its main job is to keep the whole world of magic a secret from the muggles eye. Harry Potter presents at multiple levels the different manifestations of power. There is the struggle  between power and ethics showed through the war between the death eaters and the wizarding community. There are other structures of power like the headmaster Dumbledore and professors like Snape, Umbridge enfor...
