Basic tenets of Surrealism=
- Guarded by common sense but ignoring reality
- Involuntary memory in dreams..we say what we remember but hard to will it all we remember it though we were editing it
- Pure psychic automatism express verbally or in writing the true function of thought
- Thought dictated in the absence of all control exerted by reason
Breton believed the forms of knowledge might reveal to us-
senses can launch us back to a memory/experience that we hold within us are just as important to reality as those we partake in
Florens “i dream a dream that dreams back at me”
Twin-imaginary friend “I am always with you.”-Twin to Sorrow
Twin serves as an imaginary companion to Sorrow. Morrison allows each of his characters to depend on their thoughts and dreams for comfort and understanding due to their lack of companionship and love from relationships with those who have abandoned them. Through the transitions of the characters, Morrison allows the reader to see how they become trapped in their thoughts and dreams instead of facing reality.
Ghalib wrote ghazals. British involvement in India was rapidly increasing.
Ghalib was skeptical towards secular power and religious orthodoxy. his poems became a personal mirror of the decining decades of the Mughal Empire.
