I love your lecture with every fibre of my being. It always reminds me of my college or university days when I used to love listening to lectures. In a word, you're just like my ma'am. I am preparing for JRF. I need your blessings as well as your lectures because it always motivates me to study more and more.
❤❤❤❤
What is JRF? And did u crack it?
I qualified for JRF & Assistant Professor(=NET) in July in 2023 with 99.09 percentile. JRF means Junior Research Fellowship(= 45 000/month scholarship for PhD).
@@VikashKumar-im6fi wow, that is so wonderful dear. You have truly deserved it
What threw me for a loop is that this Duke all but confesses to murder, and then tries to distract the person in order to stop them from committing the confession to long-term memory. The instrument that transformed short-term memory to long-term memory is a structure within the brain called the hippocampus, given the name because of how it resembles a sea-horse. The speaker pivots the conversation to *tame* (control) the *sea horse* (hippocampus) within the listener's brain. But, that function of the hippocampus wasn't known until the 1970's!
God we missed your comments! And what a comeback!
@@NibblePop Thanks! My Last Duchess is one of my favorites. From a technical standpoint, making a tight rhyme in iambic pentameter that doesn't sound like Petrarchan sing/song is quite an accomplishment. From a thematic standpoint, it's not just that this is one of the Big Three Ekphrastics along with Ode to a Grecian Urn and Ozymandias. This is the ultimate personification of the Male Gaze at it's most pathological. The Duchess reminds me of Vittoria in Webster's "The White Devil," when she said, "Sum up my faults, I pray, and you shall find, That beauty and gay clothes, a merry heart, And a good stomach to feast, are all, All the poor crimes that you can charge me with." But for the Duke, that was enough. She smiled too much, which is especially insane considering how many men feel they have the right to tell women to smile more.
Hello ma'am,
I am a student of Semester 4 and I must tell you that I have passed all my semesters only because of your videos.If it was not for you I could not gave reached so far without a tutor.
Thank-you for explaining this poem in a such a beautiful manner . And I request you to please make a video on the poem "The Lady of Shallot" I have read the poem and tried to understand with as much as knowledge I had ,but I would still love to hear it from you once before my University exams start which is probably by the month of August ,so please ma'am try to do it for me and other students who are struggling with the poem"Lady of Shallot".
I am very worried my University exams are near because I still have not found any good video on YT where the poem is taught line by line.
Ma'am just got my first year progress report. Did quite well thanks to your lectures. My SGPA score is 7.671. Truly grateful to you ❤
Ma'am kindly upload more videos from 4th semester English honours . I absolutely love listening to your lecture , I get to gain a lot of knowledge from them .
Ma'am there is lots of love , admiration and respect for you which I truly feel , which is generally not possible when you know someone just virtually.❤️
This is absolutely amazing. I have a science background and was absolutely lost trying to help my son with his English GCSE homework in England. You have made me appreciate poetry for the first time in 50 years. ❤
I can't want to watch more of your videos. ❤
Thanks a lot Sir 🙏
You don't know ma'am how much I am thankful to you. It feels like as if I am on the front row in my class.. it's really helpful for me as I am preparing for the upcoming school service commission.. thank you very much. Waiting for more from you.

Thank you so much ma'am. It seems that your voice was breaking, most probably you had a sore throat. But the effort you have put to make this video is worthy of praise. ❤️

One request mam...Mam can you make a video about The Lady of Shallot by Tennyson..it will be great help.

Thank You Ma'am

"Browning's poems are suitable for soul studies". Explain this with the help of 'My Last Duchess'.
We have been given this question in our college assignment. Do we have to examine the psychological elements of the poem? Any more points you would like to suggest, that I may include in my answer?
You define the phrase "soul studies". You may show how Browning was able to put inner working of a person on a poetic stage. How impulses get the better of people, how they pretend to be something but accidentally give us a glimpse into their minds.
Such a good class❤️❤️👏🏼
Your all videos are very very helpful to us mam, thank u very much 😊

could you do a lecture on way of the world as that is a very confusing text
Please make a video on the Tower poem by William Buttler Yeats.
But why did the Duke deliberately mention his crime to a person who was well acquainted to his future Bride's family at the crucial time of marriage
Was he guilty somewhere so he wanted to confess or was it simply a warning?
@@disha350 he was too confident and assured that this would make him appear more masculine and impressive
Thank you mam ❤️🕊️

After listening to your explication of Keats' Odes ("To Autumn" happens to be one of my all time favorite poems),, I must say that you're better than Harold Bloom and Helen Vendler! The same goes for your discussion of "My Last Duchess". But there is one issue you haven't addressed here. I bring this issue up because I'm an actor. and this is a dramatic monologue. It follows that a dramatic poetic monologue may acquire impact if it follows the rules of drama. In the case of "My Last Duchess," I can visualize someone speaking these very lines in real life, so uncanny was Browning's skill
Now, as you may already know, it's a cardinal rule of the theater that no one executes an action on stage or in front of the camera or delivers a line, unless the character wants something. This is true whether it's Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, "I Love Lucy" or "The Sopranos." Usually, he or she wants something from the character he or she is addressing. The character wants to affect a change in the other character. He wants something from the other character. The best dramatic action occurs when a character wants the other character to do something, and he therefore delivers his lines to compel the other character to react..
So my question is: The Duke is clearly a narcissist. But why does the Duke disclose to the Count's messenger that he killed his first wife? What is his objective? What does he hope to accomplish by narrating his abhorrent crime? One would think that, after hearing this grissly tale, the Count's messenger would hastily warn the Count not to let his daughter marry this monster. There must be something that the Duke wants to accomplish here by telling this tale, but what? I don't know the answer, but perhaps you can hazard a guess
Interesting question. Perhaps the Duke wishes to impose his masculinity and superiority over the listener, so that he may communicate how dominating the Duke is. Sometimes people with toxic masculinity have this belief that exeerting dominance is a positive trait in courtship
Please make a video on the poem 'The Last Ride Together'
Soon
