This is a deep rooted attitude behind years of prejudice between both the communities.The collective sensibility of one community has affected the other. The available history of partition discussesmainly the political issues or is marked with patriotic bias. For the historians, it has been a constitutional or politicalarrangement which does not affect the contours of Indian society. If seen from the perspective of survivors, thehistory of partition appears very different. It is all violence for them. This difference leads to a wide chasm betweenhistory and the account in form of oral history in particular about partition; its pain and silence. On one hand wherenations can insulate them behind national interests and agendas, the communities that faced partition have to livewith painful memories and moments of violence they faced. Urvashi Bhutalia in her The Other Side of Silence andRitu Menon in her Borders and Boundaries narrates the inhuman experiences of women migrants and trauma facedby survivors. Women in their short stories speak for themselves, without any restrictions or depending on any criticor historian to interpret their pain, about the violence they faced by strangers as well as their near and dear ones.They were subjected to rape and abduction, given no choice of repatriation, were forced to abort or abandonchildren fathered by their abductors. They struggled to put their life together in state of loss of identity andbelongingness. The paper tries to investigate the link between community, caste, gender with violence at the time ofpartition. It deals with the ＂memory＂ that steps in when history fails to address the issue of dislocation. It discusseswomen＇s unspeakable horrifying experiences, their painful truth and their silence that is still in the process ofhealing and forgetting.展开更多

I argue that law is operating politically, however just it seems, and maintain that Billy＇s act of violence towards Claggart is in Benjamin＇s words ＂divine violence,＂ which is on the side of justice, as opposed to law. Comparing different interpretations of this posthumous novella regarding revenge and violence, this paper revisits what deconstruction has to say about divine violence, attempting to shed light on the relationship between justice and divine violence. 1 argue that there is something ＂devilish＂ in Melville＇s text, refusing to settle down on any single, close interpretation, and that ＂inner diabolism＂ （in D. H. Lawrence＇s words） is even critical of Billy＇s innocence.展开更多

It established a new genre named revenge tragedy in English theater. Its well-developed characters, timeless themes, dramatic intrigue and pioneering adoption of blank verse enabled it to be viewed as a classic of London theater. Yet it also has received criticisms over the past centuries. Based on Aristotle's opinion of a perfect tragedy in"Poetics", this paper aims to point out the flaws of the play from five perspectives: the fate of Hieronimo, the cause of it, Bel-imperia's sudden love for Horatio, subplot concerning Villuppo and Alexandro, the discovery and the diction.展开更多
