TASK A: THE SHAKESPEARE WITHIN ME!
William Shakespeare has been a great influence in the world of English Literature
and other parts of the world. Most of his works are in a form of sonnet. A sonnet is a fourteen
line lyric poem that has ten syllables each line. Let us analyze one of Shakespeare’s
masterpiece.

Sonnet 18
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

C. Discussing New Concepts #1
Let us get to know more one of the emerging author in the 21st Century English Literature.
1. JK ROWLING
Joanne Rowling was born on 31st July 1965. Dianne, her younger sister, was born almost two
years later and Joanne’s earliest childhood memory is of Dianne’s arrival. She, her sister and her
parents lived in Winterbourne, Gloucestershire, until Joanne was nine, when the family moved to
Tutshill, near Chepstow.

Joanne grew up surrounded by books as her mum and dad loved reading – she says, ‘I lived for
books … I was your basic common-or-garden bookworm, complete with freckles and National
Health spectacles.’ From an early age Joanne wanted to be a writer. She wrote her first book at
the age of six – a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. Then when she was eleven she wrote a novel
about seven cursed diamonds and the people who owned them.

Joanne went to school at Wyedean Comprehensive School and then went on to study French and
Classics at the University of Exeter. Her Classics studies would come in very handy later when
she was thinking up all the spells in Harry Potter, some of which are based on Latin!

2 of 8
J.K. Rowling first had the idea for Harry Potter while delayed on a train travelling from Manchester
to London King’s Cross in 1990. Over the next five years, she began to plan out the seven books
of the series. She wrote mostly in longhand and amassed a mountain of notes, many of which
were on scraps of paper.

She arrived in Edinburgh in 1993 with three chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
in her suitcase. By now she had a baby daughter, Jessica, but she continued to write in every
spare moment she could find. When Joanne had finished the manuscript, she sent the first three
chapters to a number of literary agents, one of whom wrote back asking to see the rest of it. She
says that it was ‘the best letter I had ever received in my life’.

After finishing the first book and whilst training as a teacher, Harry Potter was accepted for
publication by Bloomsbury. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone quickly became a bestseller
on publication in 1997. As the book was translated into other languages, Harry Potter started
spreading round the globe – and J.K. Rowling was soon receiving thousands of letters from fans.

The Harry Potter books have since broken many records. In 2007 Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows became the fastest-selling book ever, selling 2.65 million in the first 24 hours in the UK.
The Harry Potter series is now published in 80 languages, and over 500 million copies have been
sold across the world. J.K. Rowling has also written three companion volumes in aid of charity:
Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (in aid of Comic Relief
and Lumos); and The Tales of Beedle the Bard (in aid of Lumos). In 2015 J.K. Rowling's 2008
Harvard commencement speech was published under the title 'Very Good Lives: The Fringe
Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination' (in aid of Lumos and university financial aid
at Harvard). In 2012, J.K. Rowling’s digital company Pottermore was launched, which became
Wizarding World Digital in 2019. Pottermore Publishing continues to be the global digital publisher
of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the Wizarding World. J.K. Rowling has written a film script
inspired by Fantastic Beasts and Where to find Them, with the film due for release in Autumn
2016. In addition to J.K Rowling's collaboration on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I & II,
an original new story by J.K.Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne,
she is also making her screenwriting debut with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them, a further extension of the wizarding world, due for release in November 2016.
J.K. Rowling has received many awards and honours, including an OBE for services to children’s
literature, France’s Légion d’Honneur, and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

TEXT A:
The Warlock’s Hairy Heart
(a story from The Beedle The Bard)
By J.K. Rowling

There was once a handsome, rich and talented young warlock, who observed that his friends grew
foolish when they fell in love, gamboling and preening, losing their appetites and their dignity. The
young warlock resolved never to fall prey to such weakness, and employed Dark Arts to ensure his
immunity.

Unaware of his secret, the warlock’s family laughed to see him so aloof and cold.
“All will change,” they prophesied, “when a maid catches his fancy!”
But the young warlock’s fancy remained untouched. Though many a maiden was intrigued by his
haughty mien, and employed her most subtle arts to please him, none succeeded in touching his
heart. The warlock gloried in his indifference and the sagacity that had produced it.
The first freshness of youth waned, and the warlock’s peers began to wed, and then to bring forth
children.
“Their hearts must be husks,” he sneered inwardly, as he observed the antics of the young parents
around him, “shriveled by the demands of these mewling offspring!”

And once again he congratulated himself upon the wisdom of his early choice. In due course, the
warlock’s aged parents died. Their son did not mourn them; on the contrary, he considered himself
blessed by their demise. Now he reigned alone in their castle. Having transferred his greatest
treasure to the deepest dungeon, he gave himself over to a life of ease and plenty, his comfort the
only aim of his many servants.
The warlock was sure that he must be an object of immense envy to all who beheld his splendid
and untroubled solitude. Fierce were his anger and chagrin, therefore, when he overheard two of
his lackeys discussing their master one day. The first servant expressed pity for the warlock who,
with all his wealth and power, was yet beloved by nobody.

But his companion jeered, asking why a man with so much gold and a palatial castle to his name
had been unable to attract a wife. Their words dealt dreadful blows to the listening warlock’s pride.

3 of 8
He resolved at once to take a wife, and that she would be a wife superior to all others. She would
possess astounding beauty, exciting envy and desire in every man who beheld her; she would
spring from magical lineage, so that their offspring would inherit outstanding magical gifts; and she
would have wealth at least equal to his own, so that his comfortable existence would be assured,
in spite of additions to his household.

It might have taken the warlock fifty years to find such a woman, yet it so happened that the very
day after he decided to seek her, a maiden answering his every wish arrived in the neighborhood
to visit her kinsfolk.

She was a witch of prodigious skill and possessed of much gold. Her beauty was such that it
tugged at the heart of every man who set eyes on her; of every man, that is, except one. The
warlock’s heart felt nothing at all. Nevertheless, she was the prize he sought, so he began to pay
her court. All who noticed the warlock’s change in manners were amazed, and told the maiden that
she had succeeded where a hundred had failed.

The young woman herself was both fascinated and repelled by the warlock’s attentions. She
sensed the coldness that lay behind the warmth of his flattery, and had never met a man so
strange and remote. Her kinsfolk, however, deemed theirs a most suitable match and, eager to
promote it, accepted the warlock’s invitation to a great feast in the maiden’s honor. The table was
laden with silver and gold bearing the finest wines and most sumptuous foods. Minstrels strummed
on silk-stringed lutes and sang of a love their master had never felt. The maiden sat upon a throne
beside the warlock, who spake low, employing words of tenderness he had stolen from the poets,
without any idea of their true meaning.

The maiden listened, puzzled, and finally replied, “You speak well, Warlock, and I would be
delighted by your attentions, if only I thought you had a heart!”
The warlock smiled, and told her that she need not fear on that score. Bidding her follow, he led
her from the feast, and down to the locked dungeon where he kept his greatest treasure.
Here, in an enchanted crystal casket, was the warlock’s beating heart. Long since disconnected
from eyes, ears and fingers, it had never fallen prey to beauty, or to a musical voice, to the feel of
silken skin. The maiden was terrified by the sight of it, for the heart was shrunken and covered in
long black hair.

“Oh, what have you done?” she lamented. “Put it back where it belongs, I beseech you!”
Seeing that this was necessary to please her, heart in the empty cavity it had once occupied.
“Now you are healed and will know true love!” cried the maiden, and she embraced him.
The touch of her soft white arms, the sound of her breath in his ear, the scent of her heavy gold
hair: all pierced the newly awakened heart like spears. But it had grown strange during its long
exile, blind and savage in the darkness to which it had been condemned, and its appetites had
grown powerful and perverse.

The guests at the feast had noticed the absence of their host and the maiden. At first untroubled,
they grew anxious as the hours passed, and finally began to search the castle. They found the
dungeon at last, and a most dreadful sight awaited them there. The maiden lay dead upon the
floor, her breast cut open, and beside her crouched the mad warlock, holding in one bloody hand a
great, smooth, shining scarlet heart, which he licked and stroked, vowing to exchange it for his
own.
In his other hand, he held his wand, trying to coax from his own chest the shriveled, hairy heart.
But the hairy heart was stronger than he was, and refused to relinquish its hold upon his senses or
to return to the coffin in which it had been locked for so long.

Before the horror-struck eyes of his guests, the warlock cast aside his wand, and seized a silver
dagger. Vowing never to be mastered by his own heart, he hacked it from his chest.
For one moment, the warlock knelt triumphant, with a heart clutched in each hand; then he fell
across the maiden’s body, and died.

Q2-WEEK 1:DAY 3
A. Discussing New Concepts #2

Now, you will encounter emerging writers from the Latin America.

1. Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012)

Carlos Fuentes taught at many United States universities. Fuentes was very politically
involved and held political positions while continuing to write. He was the Mexican
ambassador to France for about two years before resigning in protest of the appointment
of a rival. His opinions, such as his support for a Nicaraguan political party, estranged
him from another writer-diplomat, Octavio Paz. The FBI closely monitored him and
worked to deter his visa applications in the 1960s. His books reflect a constant political
striving, interrogating the ideals of revolution, power, equality, justice, and violence.
Fuentes’ fiction, like his most famous work, The Death of Artemio Cruz, happily utilizes
the tools of multiple narration and interior monologue.

2. Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014)

Gabriel García Márquez might be the most famous of Latin American authors.
Affectionately called “Gabo” throughout the Spanish-speaking world, García Márquez
took the magical insights of Carpentier a step further. The fiction of lo real maravilloso
entrenched itself in the extremity of Latin American life, but still kept itself within the
realms of the real. García Márquez’s magical realist world blends beautifully the
magically quotidian (ice, magnets) with everyday magic (divine ascensions, raining
flowers). The neglected becomes celebrated and García Márquez ferries his reader
through a world of the most fabulous distortions. With novels like One Hundred Years of
Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, García Márquez has achieved the great
literary triumph of helping his readers see the world anew.

Let us get to know more the emerging authors in the 21st Century African Literature.

In a continent as ethnically and culturally diverse as Africa, it comes as no surprise that

the literature that has emerged from it be equally diverse and multifaceted. Dealing with
a range of social and cultural issues, from women’s rights and feminism to post-war and
post-colonial identity, here are some of Africa’s best contemporary writers.

5 of 8
 1. Chinua Achebe
One of the world’s most widely recognized and praised writers, Chinua Achebe wrote
some of the most extraordinary works of the 20th century. His most famous novel,
Things Fall Apart (1958), is a devastating depiction of the clash between traditional tribal
values and the effects of colonial rule, as well as the tension between masculinity and
femininity in highly patriarchal societies. Achebe is also a noted literary critic, particularly
known for his passionate critique of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899), in which
he accuses the popular novel of rampant racism through its othering of the African
continent and its people.

2. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Born in Nigeria in 1977, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is part of a new generation of
African writers taking the literary world by storm. Adichie’s works are primarily character-
driven, interweaving the background of her native Nigeria and social and political events
into the narrative. Her novel Purple Hibiscus (2003) is a bildungsroman, depicting the life
experience of Kambili and her family during a military coup, while her latest work
Americanah (2013) is an insightful portrayal of Nigerian immigrant life and race relations
in America and the western world. Adichie’s works have been met with overwhelming
praise and have been nominated for and won numerous awards, including the Orange
Prize and Booker Prize.

3. Ayi Kwei Armah

Ayi Kwei Armah’s novels are known for their intense, powerful depictions of political
devastation and social frustration in Armah’s native Ghana, told from the point of view of
the individual. His works were greatly influenced by French existential philosophers,
such as Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, and as such hold themes of despair,
disillusionment and irrationality. His most famous work, The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet
Born (1968) centers around an unnamed protagonist who attempts to understand his
self and his country in the wake of post-independence.

TEXT A:
TALE OF THREE BROTHERS by J.K ROWLING
(Retrieved from: https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Three_Brothers)

Three brothers, travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous
river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown. Learned in the magical arts,
the brothers conjured a bridge with their wands and proceed to cross.

Halfway through the bridge, a hooded figure stood before them. The figure was the enraged
spirit of Death, cheated of his due. Death cunningly pretended to congratulate them and
proceeds to award them with gifts of their own choosing.

The eldest brother, a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence.
Death granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a branch of a nearby elder tree
standing on the banks of the river. The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further
humiliate death, and asked for the power to recall the deceased from the grave. Death granted
his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone picked from the riverbank. The third
and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for
something to enable him to go forth without Death being able to follow. A reluctant Death, most
unwillingly, handed over a part his own Invisibility cloak.

The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their separate ways.

The eldest brother travelled to a village where a wizard whom he had quarreled lived. He sought
out a duel and fought the wizard using the wand, instantly killing the latter.

6 of 8
Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the
dwelling site and spent the night there. Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's
power, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted by Death and his own invincibility.
That very night, Death transfigured to a murderous wizard. The unknown murderous wizard
crept to the inn as the eldest brother slept, drunk from wine. The wizard slit the oldest brother’s
throat for good measure and stole the wand. That was when Death took the first brother.

The second brother returned to his home where he lived alone. Turning the stone thrice in his
hand the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely death, appeared at
once before him, much to his delight. Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a
veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered.
Finally, the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, committed suicide by hanging
from his house' balcony so as truly to join her. That was when Death took the second brother for
his own.

Death searched for the youngest brother as years passed but never succeeded. It was only
when the third brother reached a great age, he took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his
son. Greeting Death as an old friend, they departed this life as equals.
