Please offer a short description of favourite works of literature

“Shakespeare's "Othello" is the tragedy of a Husband who wrongly suspects his wife and that too on being cajoled by others. He repents. Thank God! We do not need to be convinced by others, nor do we repent. For us it is a comic relief.

Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is the story of a single man of fortune and hence in need of a wife to spend that fortune. Pride and Prejudice do fall along the road in times of recession and who cares who elopes with whom.

" David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens is the story of "A Slum Dog" in old England.

Mathew Arnold in "Prospice" said:
"I have ever been a fighter,
one fight more,
the last and the best"

My professor taught me that Arnold was talking of struggles and his fight with death.
Wrong. Who fights death.
It is distributed as a gift in every street, Hotel and now in Schools.
This can go on. But I have some more to read and understand. So Bye for today.
