DIALOGIC STUDY OF SHAKESPEAREAN TEXTS
Keywords:
Monological, PrescriptiveAbstract
The growing variety and complexity of literature owe greatly the spirit of ceaseless experimentation and innovation on the part of writers as well as critics. Preoccupied by the desire for the adequacy of language for the communication of the amorphousness of the human existence, the creative souls could not help realizing the problem of communication through the traditionalist, the Naturalist, Mimetic expressions. There are good reasons for the Modern writers to question the aptness of the conservative mode of expression which turned out too monological and fixed to give vent to the invisible layers of human psyche set against the complex world of Nature and universe
