Abstract: Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) has been (un)arguably one of the most debated novellas portraying a diagnosis of human nature, intricate relationships and socio-political order. So far much of the debate and discussions on the work have primarily been on power conflicts, social order and portrayal of the native land and people under colonial regime. Little attention, however, has been paid to the novella's depiction of female characters. Conrad (1857-1924) presents women as weak, dependent, naive and idealistic who believe in fantasy. All the female characters are shown powerless; if they have power by chance that is possible only because of the connection with a powerful man. Despite socio-cultural differences in so called civilized or uncivilized societies, patriarchal influence is everywhere in different forms. Against this backdrop, this paper attempts a feminist reading of the work to find out how it portrays women in terms of defining identity, individuality and freedom. The paper chiefly through a feminist study tends to scrutinize traditional patriarchal attitude found in the work.
Keywords: Human nature, power conflicts, female characters, patriarchal attitude.

Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) also started this programme in the year 2001-02. In order to know whether there is any necessity to upgrade the RAWE programme a study was conducted in the College of Agriculture, Jabalpur under JNKVV. Purposive sampling technique was used and statistical methods like percentage, frequency, mean and ranking were used for analysing the data. It was found that almost all the objectives of the RAWE programme were met and the students are enthusiastic to do a new module if introduced.

Abstract: This study sets to show the univocal consistency in the poetic portrayal of Ozymandias through the setting, images, symbols and the thematic content. The poetic appraisal and the rhetoric of the poem reinforce the central idea of transience and survival of creativity, the essence of the poem. Shelley makes an invincible attempt to create an aura of positivity in the living conditions of all transient things in the poem "Ozymandias". It is displayed through the tangible nature of living things and their embodiments as is expressed in the poem as insolence of power. Nothing.........

Abstract: The general objective of this study is to investigate literary features in medieval Ethiopian hagiographies, Gädlä Krestos Sämra in focus. It intended to endorse whether these text qualifies literariness. Accordingly, the literary elements/style and techniques were examined in the hagiography. Since the study is done on a text, qualitative research method is applied. This research developed key findings. The results show that Gädlä Krestos Sämra has contained literary features. Stylistically, the narrative is constructed in well-arranged figures of speech, simile, metaphor, symbolism, and others. Techniques of a novel, foreshadowing, dialogue and description are on the other hand revealed in the text through the study. The principal conclusion drawn from this research was that irrespective of the reality of the stories for followers, it qualifies the prominent literary features. Based on the finding of the research, it can be argued that the text is a religious fiction.

Abstract: The question of Jerusalem has never ceased to be discussed until now. Especially since the announcement of a certain party who made a decision to move the Israeli capital from Tel Aviv to this city, the name Jerusalem again stands out to the whole world. Based on this fact, this article discusses social conflict of Jerusalem in three short stories from different countries: Indonesia, Palestine, and United States of America. The aim of this study is to see social conflict in Jerusalem from three different short stories. The method used in this research is descriptive and comparative analysis. In the descriptive method, the three short stories are described by their intrinsic elements. Meanwhile, on the method of comparison, the elements that have been described are then compared based on the aspect of affinity, such as the intrinsic elements, to find the similarities and differences. From the analysis it is found that there are various differences between these three short stories, such as the social conflict and the scale of social conflict.
