Ancient and Modern
I
like to modern time because modern times give to many changed humanity.
For example Study , many people to get effort job. Modern times give to
many technology.
Ancient
time is a not good some rules and thought are not good for example
childe marriage , Sati pratha , Killing girl child by bailing the still
born baby in the hot pot of milk etc. I like both but I don’t prefer
same things of ancient time.
From Modern point of view , we can criticize Ancient that- As said by T.S.ELIOT in Tradition and Individual Talent, while discussing Historical
sense- that influence of past ruins the new talent. under the
influence of great writer it becomes difficult for Individual to write.
As
well as we can defend modern that, they are not copying Ancients but
adding much more in that. New plot structures, experimentive narrative
technique, Psychological portrayal of character, fusion of various arts
into literature etc. are gift of Modern writers.
so
to think of mutual existence of both is a better idea. it is our
conditioning of mind since childhood to compare and contrast two things,
whether possible or not.
Generalizing
anything is major problem. there are plenty of Ancient writers. how can
one say that they were good or bad- how can you generalize?? some of
them may be artist with great literary abilities , some may not!!!!!! so
judge individual by reading them, whether Ancient or Modern. similarly
all Ancients are Great Classics and all Modern are rubbish, childish ,
it is not so.
Thank you........
