Critical Analysis of Shaper Shaped by Harindranath Chattopadhya


A brief analysis of the poem Shaper Shaped based on major four theories of Indian Poetics: 
1) Rasa 
2) Dhvani 

Alamkara

Rupak (metaphor) 
I as a metaphor of human being 
Metaphors used for Creator and Creation 
👉 Potter and Clay 
👉 Poet and Song 
👉 Sword maker and Sword 
👉 Dreamer and Dream 

Alliteration: 
The title of the poem: Shaper Shaped 

Rasa

Adabhuta Rasa and Santa Rasa 
One realizes Santa Rasa when he or she realizes the ultimate truth, the human being as a creation of Almighty not the creator himself. 

Vakrokti

👉 Varna vinyasa vakarata 
Alliterative title of the poem: Shaper Shaped 
Rhyme scheme 2nd and 4th lines and 6th and 8th lines  in each stanza 
Feel-Wheel, Pen-Men, Gone-Shone, Hurl-Pearl. 

Dhvani 

👉Vastu Dhvani: 
Poet has expressed the central idea indirectly. The central idea is one's journey from a self-centered attitude to the realization of the omnipotence, omnipresence, guiding, and shaping power of the true creator, God 

👉Alamkara Dhvani: 
The Poet has expressed the central idea of the poem through the use of alamkara. 

👉Rasa Dhvani: 
The reader can realizes the Adbhuta rasa and also experiences Santa Rasa only when he or she understands the suggestive meanings of the poem. So it is Rasa Dhvani in this poem. 

• This poem can be considered as Uttam Kavya as it has deep suggestive meanings.
