Abstract

The objective of this paper is to trace and compare the commonly shared literary elements between Mahabharata and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from Chronicles of Narnia which can be done under the name of comparative literature, a roof under which any kind of comparison is possible. It enables one to get acquainted with the theme and the idea behind the plots of the works and how far both can be studied comparatively even if the authors, genres or even the time- period/age of which these works are produced differ sharply. As comparison could be made with any kind of element present in these works, it enhances one to compare without any restrictions which is one of the main aspect of Comparative Literature. Even minor elements can be compared but goal just does not end there. The true goal is arrived only when a person realizes the true aesthetics behind the comparison and comprehends the value of Literature with a special reference to comparative literature. In this paper, comparison is made with the sources of war elements and the characteristic features of the prominent characters. Comparison, in general might not possess a good value but in Literature, it receives a positive response. Hence, comparative literature has its own significance and deserves literary appreciation.
