The course deals with one of the most well-known works of Jonathan Swift, "Gulliver's Travels". Swift has talked about the nature of human beings and also the nature of the institution that is created by him. He talks about Parliament, Court of Justice etc.
First published in 1726 this book still mesmerizes it's readers because it is particular but at the same time universal. It talks about England's political and historical times but at the same time talks about entire human race. This makes it relatable and the objective distance actually helps us to examine our follies and take a step towards correcting them.

This course will be dealing with the absurd, existential play Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett. A play written against the backdrop of the two world wars, people had lost faith in God. There was suffering, pain everywhere. The premiere was on 5 January 1953 in the Théâtre de Babylone, Paris. The English language version was premiered in London in 1955. Beckett refrained from elaborating on the characters beyond what he had written in the play. Vladimir stands through most of the play whereas Estragon sits down numerous times and even dozes off.
