Abstract: Jayanta Mahapatra’s imagery and symbolism heightened the significance of the meaning of his poems. The ancient symbol of fertility stands as one of the most favourite metaphors for Mahapatra. The metaphor of ‘rain’ can be considered as the mirror of the poet’s psychological condition.

Rain not only binds man with the universe as a suggestive symbol…

The image rarely remains as soon as combat is entered. That is what “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen and “Facing It” by Yusef Komunyakaa try to show their readers in their poems. Both poems serve to show the horrors and backlash of war on the psyche of soldiers, but Owen’s poem is told from the perspective of a soldier serving in World War One, while Komunyakaa’s poem is told from the persepective of a survivor of Vietnam. The period of time each poem takes place in is a large…

Now, I've been rambling on quite a bit, but you need to hear it if you’re gonna understand why I call the thing crouching in the corners of my psyche the lizard.

story by Kudo: “Instead, when people ask, I make it easy for everyone by responding, “It’s fine.” That’s a lie, though. It’s not fine.” (ll. 3-4) With this quote Kudo implies that the return from a war zone is a difficult transition which affects the psyche of the soldiers terribly. This argumentation continues in the main body of the article, which is mainly characterized by the use of open argumentation. Here Kudo directly expresses his opinion on war and its effects on the mental health of…

Behavioural Psychology is a branch of…
