  3. English Language · Literary Terms & Criticism · medium

    Longinus holds that the sublime does not persuade the hearer so much as it

    Longinus का मत है कि उदात्त श्रोता को इतना अनुनीत नहीं करता जितना वह उसे

    • Ainstructs him in the way of virtueसद्गुण का मार्ग सिखाता है
    • Bdelights and pleases him greatlyअत्यंत आनंदित और प्रसन्न करता है
    • Cmoves him to pity and to fearकरुणा और भय से भर देता है
    • Dcarries him out of himselfआत्मविस्मृत कर देता है

    Explanation

    Longinus opens by distinguishing the sublime from persuasion: rhetoric wins consent, while the sublime strikes like a thunderbolt and lifts the hearer out of himself in a transport he cannot resist. Pity and fear belong to Aristotle's account of tragedy, not to this treatise.

    Longinus आरंभ में ही उदात्त को अनुनय से अलग करते हैं: वाग्मिता सहमति जीतती है, जबकि उदात्त वज्र की भाँति आघात करता है और श्रोता को ऐसी आत्मविस्मृति में उठा ले जाता है जिसका वह प्रतिरोध नहीं कर सकता। करुणा और भय Aristotle की त्रासदी-विवेचना के हैं, इस ग्रंथ के नहीं।
