AN ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL SETTINGS AND CHARACTERIZATION IN AMIT CHAUDHURI\'S NOVELS

Abstract

Writing in the local color style concentrates on highlighting the characteristics and quirks of a certain area and its people. In a narrative work, whether it a drama, book, play, television series, or film, a character is a person. Characters in a narrative work might be classified as round, flat, minor, or main based on their actions. An antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonist, who is often referred to as the main character in a novel. Because they are the vehicle through which a reader engages with a work of literature, characters are immensely important. The technique via which a writer gives the characters their personality is called characterization. The most significant and unforgettable component of books is their characters. Characters in regional settings often care more about the district\'s or region\'s character than they do about the individual. Characters may develop into archetypes, which are sometimes clichéd or outdated and are characterized by a manner of life that emphasizes the past.
KEYWORDS : Characterization, Regional Setting

SLAVE NARRATIVES RECOLLECTION OF CULTURE USING SYMBOL IN AUGUST WILSON’S THE PIANO LESSON

Abstract

August Wilson explores the African-American experience throughout each decade of the twentieth century in his renowned series of plays. One notable work within this series is The Piano Lesson. The impacts of his work possess a greater thematic significance rather than a just theatrical one. The plays exhibit a wealth of various personalities and conflicts, along with the subsequent resolutions to these conflicts. However, underlying the varied elements within the dramatic structure of this play there is a rationale. This idea is that the current state of relationships for African Americans has been consistently influenced by a historical context characterized by instances of racial injustice, including the theft of opportunities and the fracturing of relationships. In Wilson\'s theatrical works, it has been customary for the protagonist\'s individual history to serve as the perspective through which the current circumstances are perceived. The Piano Lesson delves into the intricate historical complexities that span three generations within the family. Wilson traces these problems back to an episode rooted in their ancestral history of slavery. This tragedy continues to influence the family\'s present reality, not just on a personal level but also within their community and familial context, even after the passage of seventy-five years.
KEYWORDS : African Americans, Racial Injustice, Ancestral History, Opportunities, Slavery.
