This paper tries to symbolically evaluate the character, Alexi Alexandrovich Karenin, as an ideal husband figure in comparison with other characters from the movie Anna Karenina (2012) which is an adaptation of the well-known novel Anna Karenina by the prominent author, Leo Tolstoy. Here, the dramatic focus is not just bestowed to the protagonist and her lover, instead the side lined and betrayed meek character with his true heart is valued as ideal. The novel throws light towards the elements of love, lust and eventually to its consequences. While the exact focus can be brought towards the absence of selfishness, providence of love and trueness of sacrifice portrayed by Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin.

Kamala Markandaya is one of the best known contemporary Indian novelists. Her novels are remarkable for their range of experience. Her first novel Nectar in a Sieve is set in a village and it examines the hard agricultural life of the south Indian village where industry and modern technology played havoc. Kamala Markandaya occupies a very important position among the women novelist who have made substantial contribution to Indian fiction after the Second World War. Markandaya had not always lived abroad. She was born as Kamala Purnaiya in 1924 in Mysore and she was also a journalist. At some point, she decided to spend 18 months in a village “out of curiosity”. This inspired the setting of her first novel, centred on Rukmani and her husband Nathan. Nectar in a Sieve is remarkable for its portrayal of rustics who live in fear, hunger and despair. It is of the dark future; fear of the sharpness of hunger; fear of blackness of death. Almost all the characters in this novel lead miserable life and most of them fail to survive. There are at least a couple of them who were not successfully struggle and have the concept of survival. This novel tells the story of landless peasants of India who face starvation, oppression, breakup of family, home and death. Yet they retain their compassion, love, the strength to face their life and take delight in the little pleasures of the daily existence.

Huxley’s works have not been acknowledged till the dawn of the 20th Century because of his exponential philosophy of showing /revealing man’s true face. He wanted to change human nature by encouraging people to resist oppression, violence by passive means, with non-cooperation, and with strikes. In relation to that, Huxley overtly deals with social and political issues and introduces a re-definition of and a new outlook on the modern. Huxley’s lifelong preoccupation has remained to probe into human behavior and its confrontation with the different facets of truth. To identify human behaviour in association with capitalist ethics, this study examines Huxley’s one of the most brilliant essays Selected Snobberies, where he sarcastically unveils how snobbery is embedded in human nature from all kinds of perspectives. According to Mirriam Webster, a snob is the “one who blatantly imitates, fawningly admires, or vulgarly seeks association with those regarded as social superiors”. The factors that determine what is socially superior are mostly associated with the idea of commodification. OPEN ACCESS

Maria Campbell’s autobiography Halfbreed is a self-exploration of herself in the process of her survival pursuit. Her thirty three years of bitter experience with racism and poverty are the major content of her autobiography. Moreover, she has also recorded in the work the sense of alienation in her own land which mainly has made her to feel the traumatic painful experience. Hence, Identity crisis is seen as the major issue that steeps as a block for not only to herself but also to her community women fully towards overcoming their social barriers like poverty, sexism, and racism. Moreover, her self-exploration sets up an ideal to her community women to become stronger and self-reliant. Hence, the paper argues that how Campbell has created her own identity while experiencing problems and issues on her growing up with shameful identity and how she has become the solution to all the halfbreeds like her. The paper further studies that how Campbell has dealt with shame and humiliations which are the threat in achieving empowerment. The paper also analyzes the solution that Campbell has developed by herself despite her negative experiences, what she has learned from the negatives and how she has constructed her own identity which strengthens herself and her community as well.

The place of women in society has differed from culture to culture and from age to age, yet one fact common to almost all societies is that woman has never been considered the equal of men. Her status largely depends on the simple biological fact that she is the bearer of children. In this way her sphere is usually restricted to her familial role. Immemorial woman has been the victim of male domination and oppression and treated like a beast of burden of burden and an object for pleasure. Man has always looked down upon her as the weaker sex, as his property, servile to him. Different religions of the world have given sanction to the female’s subjection to the male members of society, thus perpetuating the women; wives, submit yourselves to your husband’s to the lord woman as regarded subordinate to man because it is believed that she was made out of man. This present paper attempts to analysis researcher’s chosen novel The Dark Holds No Terrors by Shashi Deshpande. Her novels appeared as a voice against the tormented women aimed to create a mass awareness against the suppression and the repression of the corrupted patriarchal society. She focus in her fiction is essentially on women’s role in society.

Oliver Goldsmith’s The Man in Black is a brilliant literary illustration of an unspoken social evilhypocrisy. There is nothing without a reason, thus, hypocrisy was dissected to reveal the inner truth and various practical ways were found to get some more essence of humanity back to its true owners, humans. The depth of hypocrisy within the society and how it manages to continue to prevail was also discussed in detail with a strong affirmation of the essay, hypocrisy and Albert Bandura’s “Social Learning Theory”. It is intriguing how a literary text lies in complete understanding of a theory put up more than a century later. The research paper has a psychological, philosophical and literary attributes orchestrated to highlight the social reformations needed in the world. With the world getting smaller, our souls need to get bigger to live a life worth living.
奥利弗·戈德史密斯（Oliver Goldsmith）的《黑衣人》（The Man in Black）是一部精彩的文学作品，展现了一种不言而喻的社会邪恶虚伪。没有什么是没有原因的，因此，对虚伪进行了剖析，揭示了内心的真相，并找到了各种实用的方法，将人类的一些本质带回了它的真正主人——人类。还详细讨论了社会中虚伪的深度及其如何继续盛行，并强烈肯定了这篇文章、虚伪和阿尔伯特·班杜拉的“社会学习理论”。有趣的是，一个文学文本如何建立在对一个多世纪后提出的理论的完全理解之上。这篇研究论文具有心理学、哲学和文学属性，旨在突出世界所需的社会变革。随着世界越来越小，我们的灵魂需要变得更大，才能过上有价值的生活。

Speech acts as an important element during communication, because it explains the thoughts of the speaker(s). A speech act is more about what is performed when uttering words and not about individual words or sentences that are known to form the basic elements of human communication. An attempt to do something through speaking is what is known as a speech act and a lot of things can be done through speaking. A speech act is studied under speech act theory and is found in the domain of pragmatics. Using a qualitative research design, the key objective of this study is to analyze the types of speech acts adopted in the inaugural address of Nana Addo Dankwa AkufoAddo as the President of the Republic of Ghana for his second term on the 7th January 2021. This study analyzed the Inaugural Address using Searle’s theory of speech act as a theoretical framework with emphasis on Searle’s five categories of speech act. The study showed that out of a total of 74 locutionary / Statements in the inaugural address,assertive acts are 40.5% of the utterances, commissive acts are 25.6%, while directive, expressive and declarative have small portions, of 13.5%, 12.2%, and 8.2% respectively.

R K Narayan’s novel Waiting for the Mahatma covers in considerable detail the years of political turmoil preceding the Partition of India, taking Mahatma Gandhi as one of its leading characters. The article attempts to analyse how the novel illustrates the role of Gandhi as a political leader and philosophical guide and the influence of his ideology and philosophy on other characters during the Indian independence movement. First, it pinpoints Gandhi’s philosophical thoughts as documented in his own writings and activities and then points out how those are integrated into the novel. The article also investigates the attitudes of Gandhi’s followers (as the characters of the novel) as well as those of the common people towards his thoughts and activities. Thus, the study aims to offer a textual analysis of the novel by revisiting Gandhian philosophy focusing, especially, on values of ahimsa, Satyagraha and non-violent resistance.
R K Narayan的小说《等待圣雄甘地》以圣雄甘地为主角，相当详细地讲述了印度分治前多年的政治动荡。本文试图分析这部小说如何阐释甘地作为政治领袖和哲学指导者的角色，以及他的意识形态和哲学在印度独立运动中对其他人物的影响。首先，它指出了甘地的哲学思想在他自己的作品和活动中的记录，然后指出了这些思想是如何融入小说的。文章还考察了甘地的追随者（作为小说的人物）以及普通民众对他的思想和活动的态度。因此，本研究旨在通过重新审视甘地哲学，特别是阿希姆萨、萨蒂亚格拉哈和非暴力抵抗的价值观，对小说进行文本分析。
