खंड 1 No. / ISSUE 4, Page 99 - 126, JUNE (2024): SHAKESPEARE AND HARIVANSH RAI BACHCHAN

This study explores the comparative literary analysis of William Shakespeare and Harivansh Rai Bachchan, focusing on stylistic approaches, cultural contexts and thematic differences. Shakespeare, the English playwright, delves the external conflicts, human flaws and societal power struggles through ambition and tragedy, and Bachchan, an iconic Indian poet, underscores the philosophical introspection, existential questions and spiritualism in works, mainly in Madhushala. The study highlights the respective cultural context, post-colonial Indian and Renaissance England-shaped literacy output. The research uncovers the parallel dynamic of two literacy giants to offer insight into the universal themes of historical boundaries and transcend culture.
