Romanticism in Frankenstein is surely visible through the dominance of the plot where events with drama lay. There is an intrigued structure of unlike events that take place in this novel. Mary Shelley has narrated the story very beautifully through words and metaphoric comparison of happenings. The novel consists of metaphoric significance and exaggeration in expression.

Romanticism is imposed as a literary movement in this novel where the reader is forced to create images and visionary imaginations to feel the actual essence of the event taking place. Mary Shelley has captured sublime of moments and has represented them through words. When the audience read the text, they are able to create collective imagination in order to understand new ways of interpreting the world and humans of the society where they live in.

Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is a novel preoccupied with the concept of ’empire’. It also has a rather problematic relationship with the realist aesthetic which was the predominant nineteenth-century literary mode. This article aims to place Conrad’s novel within an imperialist context, assessing some of the underlying fears, such as hidden facets of the individual psyche, which, to a varying degree, appear to have informed its narrative.

Heart of Darkness could also be thought to have a more distant literary antecedent in that of the medieval quest-romance. The figure of Marlow travelling upriver in search of Kurtz echoes …

Now what is the Studium of the Taj Mahal? The studium exhibits the marvel of Mughal architecture, the cultural legacy of the Mughal civilization, the sociological nuance of an aesthetic structure moored in an innate feeling of creativeness, the philosophy of artwork rendered as an intellectual and psychological intricate. What is the punctum of Taj Mahal? The punctum reveals the soul of the king who has missing his beloved spouse and has developed a memoir in the remembrance of his spouse. It is a depiction of the soul of lifetime and really like.

Now let’s glance at the smile of Mona Lisa by Da VIN ci. At a personal level of the punctum, the smile emits a mystical attraction, an innocence of poetry on the deal with. …
