GREED AND CAPITALISM : A STUDY OF "VOLPONE" AND "THE ALCHEMIST"

Avarice or Greed one of the seven deadly sins often carries a bad definition with it. But what if it can be associated and analysed into postmodern context for a different touch. Literature carries the power of renewing and rejuvenating the old into new whether they are the abstract or cerebral element .This book follows the above line and the chapters very closely reinterpret and correlate the term GREED into a very new context. The book also lightens up the downfall of the fictitious but intelligent and business minded characters and the society of Johnsons “Volpone” and “The Alchemist” due to GREED while the chapter sums upto by showing the role of the real great Indian reformers SWAMI JI and GANDHI JI with the same GREED but with a different context for the upliftment of humanity and society. Hence this book will assist the readers to re think and reinterpret the cerebral elements for the betterment of them and those around them. Come readers; lets take the advantage of this postmodern era for judging and looking things with a different spectacle for the betterment of society through Literature.
