ASSALAMUALAIKUM READERS 💗💗 Wordsworth’s I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud perspective from Humanist Theory The writing discusses William Wordsworth’s poem, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud in the light of Humanism theory. Generally, humanist perceived this world through senses which can be explained using human observation and knowledge of science. Therefore, they reject anything supernatural as an explanation for existing phenomena.  Including in arts and literature, the humanist replaced the importance of God as the centre of the universe, in place of the idea of the human mind as a supreme power of knowledge and creation.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and hi readers 😊 Based on our readings on Rabindranath Tagore’s short stories, we have found a few literary criticisms that can be applied to analyse his literary work. One of his short stories entitled Assets and Debts portrayed the differences between two class hierarchies as what Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had discussed on class struggle. According to the founder of Marxism theory, Marx and Engels mentioned the concept of class struggle plays an essential role in society in order to develop clear understanding about the society’s oppression under the influence of capitalism. In relation to Tagore’s literary work, Marxism theory can be applied in most of his stories specifically in Assets and Debts . To summarize, this story is about the hardship faced by both father and daughter in dealing with humiliation and mockery given by the upper class. Commonly in India, it is part of their tradition to marry off their daughter. In this case, the father
