சிலம்பிலும் ஆங்கில இலக்கியத்திலும் காணப்பெறும் நடையியல் உத்திகள்: ஓர் ஒப்பாய்வு

Narrative Techniques found in Silambam and English Literature: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

In all great writers style is as important as the vision. Moreover, in all great writings what is said is inseparable from how it is said. This research article attempts to analyze how the ideas are expressed to convey the message. In the writings of the different writers, one can come across the different kinds of style. Every writer’s style will have its own characteristics. Yet, when one reads the texts of silappathikaram and the selected English poetry, it is obvious that various writers had used similar stylistic devices in order to decorate or to enlighten the ideas they wanted to emphasize. For instance, Elango and various English poets have used simile, metaphor, pathetic fallacy, hyperbole, inversion, apostrophe, repetition, rhetorical questions and alliteration in order to add beauty to their works. This comparative work is only a parallel study.
