Sunday reading : Literature and Religion

Sunday reading activity :

 I have discussed about conflict between literature and Religion. And also religion reference with Northrop Frye.

If we think about literature and then we can say that literature gives us a way to think out of the box. But Religion doesn't allow to think new and unique. In India myth is co- exist with human life. Most of the Indian who blindly believe in myth and mythical heroes. They can't raise the question against foolish rituals of religion.

In Northrop Frye's work  The Archetypes of literature ,in which we find that Frye's argument. Here we looking for religion and Myth. The relation between religion and literature it's complicated, because of the thinking of critic. In Criticism divine or you can say God treated as human beings. That's why they don't believe in Superior power.

When religion and literature deals with same document then that is more complicated.  Religion is nothing but a narrative. So God for the critic is like a human being, whether that is in the Bible and the paradise lost. In India also we have God like Rama , Krishana, Shiva. But Critic do not think  like ordinary people and don't believe in rituals of warships.

Thank you........
