Learning of E. A. Poe's Stories by Dr. Jay Mehta.Learning of E. A. Poe's Stories by Dr. Jay Mehta.








In our department of English we had guest lecture by Dr. Jay Mehta during 19th to 22th September. He is lecturer at R. C. Technical collage at Ahemdabad. He also studied under the guidance of Dr.Dilip Barad sir. So because of this he is very attached with department. These three days were very much memorable for us.


He has talked about Poe’s  short stories like…

1) The Tell Tale Heart

2) The Black Cat

3) The Fall of the House of Usher

4) The Cask of Amontillado

5) The Purloined Letter

6) The Gold Bug


After learning Poe’s six stories from Sir, we can characterize Poe as...

-Writer of Diction language
-Autobiographical elements in his writing
- Great creator of suspense in writing
- Inner conflict in characterization
- Balance in head and heart
- He brings the poetic in short stories
- Death and darkness of human mind is major theme 
- Tone of melancholy and sadness
- Singularity of effect
-.A skillful artist

Along with Poe and his selected Short stories, our last lecture on Poets and poem at the last day. And it’s really an unforgettable lecture. In this Session we talked about various poets and we presented our own creating writing also. I presented my Gujarati poem ‘યાતના’ and got વાહવાહ in sir’s comment. I feel Sir’s personal experiences of life would bitter or not like a Climbing of stairways but like a mountain. But as Sir said in his class that…

” If you born for write..
Where are your tear?”

Thus, I found Jay sir is also an a wonderful Writer…his two poem ‘હુ જાતે જાદુગર’, ‘અંતરનો  Hamlet’  both are fabulous. And his memory power is surprising He recite a many lines of Gujarati, Hindi and English poems. He introduce several poet in front of us for reading poems like…Ramesh Parekh, Anil Chavda, Khalil Dhantejvi, Suresh Joshi, Saumay Joshi, Dushyant Kumar,Miskkn, Irshad, Galib, Gulzar, Harivanshray Bachhan, Rahet Indori, Amrut Ghayal, Esha Dadawala, Gani Dahiwala  and many others. In addition he gave information about various application and website useful for reading literature in various languages.


At last I want to end this with one line spoken by Jay Sir… ‘Every Good things going to end.’ But ultimate truth is we met and apart For meet another time… as spring meet to leaf.!
