 Existentialism : flipped learning activity 

     Hello learners. I am a student. I am writing this blog as part of flipped learning activity which is  assigned by Dilip Sir. In which i have  tried to answer some  questions. 

What is Existentialism :

           Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice. It suggests that individuals create their own meaning and values in life through their actions and experiences, rather than adhering to predetermined purposes or external norms. Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus are associated with existentialist ideas.

      Existentialism, a philosophical movement that emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries, was significantly influenced by several pioneers. Søren Kierkegaard, a precursor to existentialism, delved into the subjective experience, stressing personal responsibility and the significance of individual choice. Friedrich Nietzsche, though not strictly an existentialist, challenged traditional values and introduced the idea of the "will to power," influencing existentialist thought. Jean-Paul Sartre, a key figure in the movement, argued that existence precedes essence, emphasizing human freedom and personal responsibility in works like "Being and Nothingness.

           " Albert Camus, associated with absurdism, explored the meaninglessness of life in "The Myth of Sisyphus," addressing the human quest for significance. Together, these pioneers laid the groundwork for existentialism, shaping a philosophy that centers on individual existence, freedom, and the creation of personal meaning.

  TheAct CS Hamlet  Hello learners. I am a student, i am writing this blog as part of thinking activity which assign by Dilip Sir.  Marginalization in Hamlet _   Q. Describe how Rosencrantz and Guildenstern represent marginal figures in Hamlet. How does Hamlet’s reference to Rosencrantz as a “sponge” reflect their expendability in the power dynamics of the play?        Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Hamlet serve as prime examples of marginal figures who are used, manipulated, and ultimately discarded by the central powers. They are childhood friends of Hamlet but are summoned by King Claudius and Queen Gertrude not for genuine companionship but to spy on Hamlet and report back, thus becoming mere tools of the monarchy. Their roles are minimized, and they lack personal motives or depth beyond fulfilling Claudius's agenda, underscoring their marginalization.        Hamlet’s calling Rosencrantz a “sponge” in Act 4, Scene 2, captu...
