The romantic of the romantics , the worsipper of beauty,  the embodiment of sensuousness , the escapist by nature, John Keats in   Ode to A Nightangale  ,very nicely and masterfully blend  the world of reality and the world of Nightingale. Most of his poems include the conflict between the real and ideal, the temporal and the eternal, the flux and the fixity . Among all of his Odes , Ode to A Nightingale  , is surely is the purest gem and poem that adds a colourful feathers to the crown of keats by drowning into the world of The nightingale.

A symbol is something that represents an idea, a process or a physical entity which is very significant in literature. Which is used to signify something else, and is known as a symbol. Eugene O'Neill's One Act Play "Thirst" is symbolic in essence. Many major symbols play a vital role in the play. The play is about a ship-wreck and the helplessness of three characters and it proceeds beyond the merely factual in its concern with the universal plight of man is pitiless universe in Thirst, the symbols heightened the atmosphere of mystery,fear, horror and terror, pity and frustration. The setting itself is symbolic. The sky is ' pitilessly clear', the sun is 'like a great anger of God' and the sea too ' cruel '.

The book culminates in Stephen's self imposed exile from Ireland - his home,church and his past. Joyce's decision to leave home from Paris and Italy . The mind is that Stephen is not able to truly commit to his artistic calling until he has thrown his ties in the past and really experienced life as an independent person.

Man's eternal quest is to know the unknown, to see the unseen and discover the undiscovered things that's why the very spirit of the Elizabethan Era . They have the nostalgia to seek into the historical  part and fetch the pearl of spirit and undaunted. Christopher Marlowe, the excellent Elizabethan playwrite squashes  the juice of the historical background and unlock them in the full throated ease   in the play Edward II .He just poured the new wine into old bottle and stimulates the dozing spectators into frenzied drunkards. Marlowe is not the first Elizabethan  to is write the historical play but Marlowe were deeply inspired by Shakespeare's Henry VI .So his Edward II is the direct outcome of the historical agenda present in episodes but it mansley surpassed Shakespeare in dealing with King Edward II , a King deposed and assassinated one with his weakness .It is a marble still in historical plays, it is modern in its approach. Edward , the king is not...
