1.Write about the idea of Matthew Arnold which you found interesting and relevant in our times.

Ans:-

★ Mathew Arnold was literary critic and poet. He has contributed a lot to literary criticism. His criticism of poetry is the landmark in English literary criticism. According to him poetry is the criticism of life and it should have poetic truth and poetic beauty.
●According to him then critic should disinterested or detached from personal and historical prejudices. This idea is completely relevant to our time. There is always an influence of critic's prejudices and perspective in criticism.

★Arnold’s idea of disinterestedness is relevant. Attachment or any type of belief may creates controversial outcomes after long time. Its very but obvious principle given by Arnold transparent decision without any favour without partiality to give judgement its critic’s duty. One thought was  “dot considering effect on author or readers, it should be free from all the prejudices either historical or personal.” I am fully agree with this . Emotional attachment is not our strength its one type of illness so this Arnold’s principle is relevant in recent times.


Q2- Write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you found out of date and irrelevant in our times. 

ANS:-
Matthew Arnold's 'touchstone method ' Arnold says that touchstone method makes reader aware about the fallacy in judgment. this touchstone method is not relevant in our time because in this method critic compare two different things with each other. For example we can not judge any people by his/her behavior because they have their own problems and their own life so. So we don't hve a right to judge any work or to compare two works.
