Dryden's view on drama
John Dryden was a 17th century English poet, dramatist, literary critic, and translator. In his most important prose work from 1668 called "Of Dramatic Poesy", Dryden defined drama as "a just and lively image of human nature, representing its passions and humors and the change of fortune to which it is subject, for the delight and instruction of mankind." He argued that rhyme is not suitable for serious plays as it is unnatural and does not show originality, while blank verse is nearer to prose and allows the dramatist to more naturally express the passions of human nature. Dryden believed blank verse was the best form for tragedy according to Aristotle's principles that it should be closer to prose

Midnight's children book
Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children uses magical realism to tell the story of Saleem Sinai, a man born at the midnight hour of India's independence. Saleem's life mirrors that of post-colonial India, with his personal experiences aligned with key political events in Indian history. Rushdie draws parallels between Saleem and his own life, with many biographical similarities. Through Saleem's narration of important historical moments in a trivialized, personal manner, Rushdie aims to present history from the perspective of the common man.
Intentional fallacy
1. The intentional fallacy refers to judging a literary work based on the author's intended meaning rather than analyzing what is presented in the text itself.
2. W.K. Wimsatt Jr. and Monroe Beardsley introduced the concept of the intentional fallacy in their 1954 essay to argue that an author's intentions are neither known nor important for literary analysis or criticism.
3. The intentional fallacy was an important concept in New Criticism, which emphasized close analysis of literary texts without consideration of authorial intent, biography, or historical context.
New criticism
- New Criticism emerged in the 1940s-1960s as a reaction against biographical and historical criticism that focused on external context like an author's life.
- New Critics examined only what was in the text itself using close reading of elements like metaphor, irony, tension and ambiguity to interpret a work's true meaning.
- They believed the text should be treated as a self-contained object and that meaning comes from analyzing linguistic devices rather than the author's intent or a reader's subjective response.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
