Literary motifs such as archetypes can be very defining in short stories, since they provide the patterns that both authors and readers can easily resonate with. Studies have shown that archetypes are useful elements in the process of narrative patterning in literature. This paper explores the use of the Scapegoat and the Tragic Hero archetypes in my two short stories, ‘Her Tale on Earth’ (2014) and ‘The Day She Walked Out of the Gates’ (2014), to show how experimenting with these archetypes helped determine the shape of the each story’s structure, genre, and eventually the final form of each piece. While I was not immediately aware of my preferred character patterns, communicating my purpose through the stories led me to discover the right archetypes for my intentions. These stories are about characters who face adversity because of their complex parentage or heritage: themes which fuel my PhD research

AbstractThis paper argues that Hegel’s account of subjectivity and agency as historically coined is essential to an accurate understanding of his theory of tragedy. Focusing on Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, I argue that Hegel’s historical account of agency is necessary for understanding his theory of the ancient tragic hero. Although Hegel’s theory of ancient tragedy is often described in terms of a conflict between ethical spheres embodied in two individuals, the conflict in Oedipus is between Oedipus’ deeds and his later knowledge of what has actually occurred. I show how this seemingly subjective conflict is in keeping with Hegel’s theory. Further, while Hegel sees Oedipus as wrong to take full moral accountability for the consequences of his deeds, at the same time, for Hegel, this is the right action for a tragic hero, and the very thing that renders Oedipus timelessly and tragically heroic, rather than a mere victim of fate.

Translators and writers are divided into two main groups regarding the method of translation that should be adopted in translating texts. One group believes that the translator should be true to the translated text, while the other group believes that the translator has the right to recreate the text into a more beautiful one.  This study deals with this issue from these two points of view and tries to answer the following questions: Why do we translate? What should we translate? How do we translate? The study relies on an innovative translation method developed by the Board of Maktoub Project for Translation that belongs to Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem to answer these questions. A group of about one hundred Arab and Jewish translators translated Arabic literature texts into Hebrew in an internationally new method, which is neither individual nor collective. It is a bilingual binational method. The translators consist of pairs of a Jewish or/and Arab translator, an Arab/or Jewish literary editor, and a linguistic editor, believing that translation is a text and culture, heritage, and traditions of a people or nation. This dual method gave the translated text its right of accuracy after it had been translated by one translator who can make mistakes due to his ignorance of the writer's culture. The study's conclusion confirms that bilingual binational translation is more fruitful and more accurate because it is based on dialogue, bilingual, and binational cultural knowledge.

Aestheticism, with its emphasis on the right to pleasure, countered late Victorian capitalism and its denial of rights to the working class. This problem is explored in Wilde’s short stories, “The Happy Prince” and “The Selfish Giant”, both of. While these tales have been interpreted as Christian allegories, they offer profound criticisms of the ideologies of capital and property. Proposing the mutualist alternative of shared, collective sacrifice in the face of poverty and the social injustices that provided the structural bases for the operation of capital, these socially-committed political fantasies articulated radical ideas that subverted the late Victorian bourgeois sphere. In these works Wilde also criticised socially conservative art for exhibiting “style without sincerity”, and proposed Peter Kropotkin’s anarchist ideal of mutualism as a serious model for social cooperation.

Actually kids short story which has clear reader’s segmentation, which  include children 7-12 years old. The special thing from kids short story  which is delivered is very familiar with children’s wolrd. Generally, kids short story in Indonesiatakes the theme about friendshis, games, and everything whch contain of moral education value, such as : help each ther is a positive thing, cheating is a negative thing, and obey parents, command is an obligation for children. Positive and negative thing in kids short story are explained clearly with the purpose to apply moral values clearly toward the children.  Most of kid short stories are written by adult. Therefore, there are many kids short stories which are awared or not by the writer, use language whch is not appropriate with the age and the competence of the children. Besides that, there are many short stories that contain of effort to buld good behaviour whch is delivered by teaching, even unsuitable with the psychological condition of the children. Those are that cause the mportance of choosing right teaching materials in teaching literature especially short story to the children. The actor or actress and event in the short stry can be the character who nspired the children. Through those actors, values of behaviour are delivered to the children as a reader of literature. Thus, the process to choose short story as a teaching material in the school  need the sensitivity of the teacher. hopefully the techer able to choose the right short story  for he chldren to be used as a teaching material in the classroom, that is literature teaching material which talk about children’s world with children language and with the characters who can appear the impression to the children that the character are themselves or their friends, not their parents or their teachers who impressed techng them. By the other words, short story which give moral education naturally to the children, go with flow without teaching impression. Besides that, teachers are hoped not only use the book as a reading resource, but also search the other teaching materials that more appropriate with the conditon of the children.

Author of several  works  of  fiction and non fiction , Namita Gokhale is a well known name in the field of Indian Writing in English  not only  as  a writer but also as a publisher  and as a founder director of Jaipur Literature Festival . Her  short stories   published under the title  The Habit of Love  ( 2012)   are  remarkable for adding a new dimension to the  craft of short story writing. The Habit of Love  is a collection of thirteen short stories  encapsulating the  myriad  experiences of their female protagonists  who lay bare before the readers their inner world – their desires , passions, fear , anxiety,  happiness, anger ,  ennui and sadness – in kaleidoscopic lights.  Based mainly on the themes of love, lust and death , these stories are interwoven with the motifs of time, memory , dreams travels and mountains. The writer frequently shifts from present to past or vice versa , making  several technical innovations  like unexpected , abrupt endings; use of startling similes/ metaphors; choice of  queer , quirky titles for these short   stories. The use of the  technique of  first person narrative in many of these stories imparts more intimacy to them as if the narrator is engaged in a tete- a- tete with her readers. Gokhale  emphasizes the importance of  a convincing narrative voice  in making a short story effective. In response to a question as to which is the most critical part of a story: the storyline, the characters or the storytelling, she says, “Finding the right voice that convincingly tells the story, whether in first person or otherwise is the most crucial part.”( Recap: Twitter chat with Namita Gokhale,TNN,22 March 2018 )

Narrative Voices

This paper will examine excerpts from a range of Alan Sillitoe’s prose fiction, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958) and short stories from the collection The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (1958), via a comparative exploration of the texts’ representations of Midlands English demotic. The narrative discourse traces a link between the experience of the Midlands English working classes represented and the demotic language they speak; the narrators have voices redolent of registers rooted in 1950s English working-class life. The texts also contain different methods of representing their protagonists’ consciousness through the demotic idiolects that they speak. Sillitoe’s is a novelistic discourse which refuses to normalise itself to accord with the conventions of classic realism, and as such prefigures the ambitions of many contemporary writers who incline their narrative voices towards the oral – asserting the right of a character’s dialect/idiolect to be the principal register of the narrative. The paper will demonstrate this thesis through the ideas of Bakhtin, and through an analytical taxonomy derived from literary stylistics. It aims to propose a model which can be used to analyse and explore any fiction which has been labelled as ‘working-class’, and asserts that such an approach leads to a more principled characterisation of working-class fiction (based on its use of language) than current literary-critical discussions based simply on cultural/social context and biography.

Ranching in the 1990s involves vivid word pictures with emotions, learning, a bit of humor, and fierce independence, explained Connie, as students and resource specialists sat on hay bales in a small barn on the high desert in central Oregon. Rangeland Resource students listened, a high school English teacher listened, an Extension horticultural specialist listened, and a Bureau of Land Management ecologist listened along with the professor. A wagon wheel stood near a rusty bucket of sagebrush and bunchgrass. Doc contributed short stories, a few facts, and his perspective of the same events. As she continued, Connie looked toward Doc and wondered whether her story was pitched at about the right level of emotion; was she effectively describing their ranching experience in the 1990s? He smiled under a large grey cowboy hat as his boot rested on the wagon wheel. Everyone felt the tension. Inviting environmental advocates to their ranch … was this wise?Many experiences later, Doc says they have regained independence through collaborative learning with urban dwellers and consumers of their beef products. They welcome people with open minds toward learning. Their vision includes cattle, fish, and wildlife; the 7 inches of rain or snow that falls in winter and must be captured to sustain fish and urban dwellers in August; and sharing beliefs and values about the landscape while fish, grass, and ranchers survive.
