Read the following passage carefully and
answer questions 44 to 48:
The literary
distaste for politics, however, seems to be focused not so much on the largely
murky practice of politics in itself as a subject of literary representation
but rather more on how it is often depicted in literature, i.e., on the very
politics of such representation. A political novel often turns out to be not
merely a novel about politics but a novel with a politics of its own, for it
seeks not merely to show us how things are but has fairly definite ideas about
how things should be, and precisely what one should think and do in order to
make things move in that desired direction. In short, it seeks to convert and
enlist the reader to a particular cause or ideology; it often is (in an only
too familiar phrase) not literature but propaganda. This is said to violate the
very spirit of literature which is to broaden our understanding of the world
and the range of our sympathies rather than to narrow them down through
partisan commitment. As John Keats said, ‘We hate poetry that has a palpable
design upon us’.
Another
reason why politics does not seem amenable to the highest kind of literary
representation seems to arise from the fact that politics by its very nature is
constituted of ideas and ideologies. If political situations do not lend
themselves to happy literary treatment, political ideas present perhaps an even
greater problem in this regard. Literature, it is argued, is about human
experiences rather than about intellectual abstractions; it deals in what is
called the ‘felt reality’ of human flesh and blood, and in sap and savour.
(rasa) rather than in and lifeless ideas. In an extensive discussion of the
matter in her book Ideas and the Novel, the American novelist Mary McCarthy observed
that ‘ideas are still today felt to be unsightly in the novel’ though that was
not so in ‘former days’, i.e., in the 18th and 19th centuries. Her formulation
of the precise nature of the incompatibility between ideas on the one hand and
the novel on the other betrays perhaps a divided conscience in the matter and a
sense of dilemma shared by many writers and readers: ‘An idea cannot have loose
ends, but a novel, I almost think, needs them. Nevertheless, there is enough in
common for the novelists to feel… the attraction of ideas while taking up arms
against them — most often with weapons of mockery.’
