shidney Vs shakespeare!
what is the diff between a shidney sheldon novel and shakespeare's?
both are stories of course, but in shakespears u wont find the so many twist n turns as in shidney's. that is it. sidney fills 400 pages of his bk by the stories and stories inside the stories. u dont learn from that bk. there are many characters .. so many of them. and each charcter has a story. thats the way 400 pages are filled.
but in shakes[eare there are few charcters.. and when u r done with bk u will know and understnd the characters. the charcters reamin with u even after u finish the bk. shakespear doesnt write stories, he writes about charcters. he understands people, studies them, goes through their minds. thats what a true writer is. everyone can make a story but very few can make charcters.. imaginary characters, define them. their nature ,their behaviour , the way they think and write about them as if they were living practically. when u read shakespeare, u can clearly make out about the charecters in the bk. u get so claer about them that u would know how a character would behave in this n that situation. u can make it out urself. as if u can write a bk using that charcter again urself.
but both are stories. stories are stories they r not real, they cant be real. sidney's characters are too imaginary to be real. they are super humans. shakespeare's characters are too perfect to be real. there are no perfect people. all human beings in general are confused. there are situatons when they dont know how to behave. it happens with evryone of us. its very hard to say always what u want to say. else evryone in this world would be happy.. would be relieved!
i have a diff taste for novels. ask someone y u do read novels? there may be 2 reasons. one.. to improve english and to pass time. ok then read sidney sheldon. that bk will hold u on till the very end.
i read bcoz i want to pass time, improve my english and i dont want to read about imaginary stories and fictions.. the stories which i could have written as well. i want to read about people, understand them, theri mind. when u read shakespeare every act of the character looks justified. bcoz u know the character should behave in that way.. u expect that charecter to behave in that way only. the charecter justifies his behaviour. and the behaviur suits his character. and thats y i prefer true stories. bcoz no part of it is fiction/false.
but thn stories r stories they cant be real. no story is close to be real. but only shakespeare's. but his arnt stories.. he writes about characters. i prefre novels in which a character is sketched not just a story is written.

ya u r right.....a true writer always depicts each and every trait of his characters and makes his readers to understand various aspects of human personality....as they say inorder to construct a strong building its base should be strong....same way characters are base of every story....i havent read shakespeer but can correlate his character building skills with premchand our indian shakespeer....
