Sensing Aesthetic Resonance in the Light of Hyperbolic Explication: An Exploration of Gulzar’s “Leaves in Autumn” and “The River”

Abstract

This research paper intends to explore the aesthetic resonance of Gulzar’s “Leaves in Autumn” and “The River” in the light of hyperbole. Gulzar, India’s most respected director and screenwriter, has composed poems on nature and its relative subjects. The theme of the selected poems is mounted on nature. Gulzar has elevated the theme and style of the poems using imagination. “The River” portrays the river and the aesthetic changes that take place in him. In “Leaves in Autumn”, the poet has rendered human qualities to the tree, the primary character of the poem. Discovering the aesthetic beauty and the imaginative portrayal of nature are the principal aims of “Sensing Aesthetic Resonance in the Light of Hyperbolic Explication: An Exploration of Gulzar’s “Leaves in Autumn” and “The River””. This research paper has used aesthetic appreciation of beauty with reference to the tenets of hyperbole as its methodology to elicit the pulchritude of nature in the selected poems.
