“Fiction and Lies” Fiction and lie both are interwoven. Essential part of fiction is ‘Imagination’. Fiction includes wide range of imaginative beauty, which gives extraordinary look to any piece of Art. At the same time it is truth that imagination cannot survive without lies. Therefore Fiction will have lies within itself.   Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Herman Melville, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Dostoyevsky are but a few of the great authors who have used lies and liars as keys to their writing. William Shakespeare was the greatest writer who ever lived. In his play ‘Othello’, he created arguably the greatest liar in the history of literature. Iago is a prime example of someone who lies to punish. What motivates Iago to lie is lack of promotion.he decides to revenge himself by lying about Othello's wife, Desdemona, insinuating that she is having an affair with the lieutenant who has Iago's desired position. As a result Othello kills Desdemona even if she was i

Or they never pray to God to save them from evil spirit. It seems that J.K Rowling wants to discard Christianity from her novel. But several glimpse of Christianity can be found in the novel such as Wizards celebrate the two major Christianity festivals, Easter and Christmas. Albus Dumbledore owned a copy of the Christian Bible. It is therefore possible he was a member of the Christian faith to some degree. However, given Dumbledore's worldliness, he may keep the copy out of a desire for knowledge and not out of his personal religious devotion . While millions of people around the world read and enjoy the "Harry Potter" books, there are many people that object to the content of the Harry Potter books, stating that they go against the word of God. The obje

  # Task given by Dr. Dilip Barad.                                      " Harry Potter" Glad to express my joy of watching harry Potter by J.K Rowling as part of my syllabus. ‘One would question that why are you watching children’s movie in your master’s Degree?’ Well, you are not right if you have that question in your mind. ‘Harry Potter’ is great classic in children’s literature. What matters is the perspective to look towards everything. View point of judging something is significant. I am studying Harry Potter not only as children’s literature but also as Landmark in children’s literature which can be the best example of ‘Interdisciplinary Study”. The very first reading is the “Feminist reading” in Harry Potter. Strong portrayal of Hermione Granger, manifestation of author, intellectual, capable of reflecting book knowledge into real world.   “Discourse of Purity of Blood” is another interesting reading of Novel, in which students of Hogwarts
