Twelfth Night: About Nomenclature (हिंदी में)

Twelfth Night: About Nomenclature विलियम शेक्सपियर ने अपने tragedies का शीर्षक नायक या नायिका अथवा दोनों के नाम पर रखा है लेकिन comedies के मामले में उन्होंने इस नियम का पालन नहीं किया है। उन्होंने इन्हें द मर्चेंट ऑफ वेनिस, मच एडो अबाउट नथिंग, ए मिडसमर नाइट्स ड्रीम, एज़ यू लाइक इट, द टैमिंग ऑफ द श्रू और ट्वेल्थ नाइट जैसे बहुत ही आकर्षक और विचारोत्तेजक शीर्षक दिए हैं। इन सभी मामलों में शीर्षक नाटक की आत्मा की झलक देते हैं। The Twelfth Night के दो शीर्षक हैं और दोनों ही बहुत विचारोत्तेजक हैं। पहला शीर्षक Twelfth Night एक हल्के और हास्यपूर्ण स्वभाव का सुझाव देता है। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि जिस दिन यह कॉमेडी प्रदर्शित की जानी थी वह मौज-मस्ती के दिन से जुड़ा था। एलिज़ाबेथन काल के दौरान छह जनवरी को एक महत्वपूर्ण त्योहार के रूप में बड़े उत्साह के साथ मनाया जाता था। यह दिन क्रिसमस के बाद बारहवां दिन था। यह दिवस मूल रूप से इंग्लैंड में तीर्थयात्रियों के रूप में मैजाई के आगमन दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता था। इस दिन नाटकों का मंचन की परम्परा थी। विलियम शेक्सपियर ने संभवतः इसी दिन के मंचन के लिए Twel...

The first title the Twelfth Night suggests a light and comic nature. It is because the day on which this comedy was to be performed was associated with the day of merry-making.
