BA English Modern Essay Hosts and Guests By Max Beerbohm
Hosts and Guests
By Max Beerbohm
Max Beerbohm
is regarded as the best essayist parodist and cartoonist of his age. He was
educated at Merton College, Oxford and was a popular figure in London s’
artistic and fashionable circles.
‘Host
and Guests’ is a humorous essay in which Beerbohm describes the qualities of
the hosts and the guests. He thinks that mankind can be divided generally into
two categories: hosts and guests. The difference the between the two is not
only circumstantial and particular but also temperamental and general. Every human
being has either the positive and active instinct of being a host or the
negative and passive instinct of being a guest. Hosts are those who have the
natural instinct to serve others and guests are those who want to be served.
The quality
of hospitality is exclusively a human quality and it has developed slowly with
the development of the civilization. The cavemen did not entertain others
because they were afraid of being killed by the hosts in their caves. The quality
of hospitality developed slowly as human beings were organized into groups. However
the history of hospitality is full of painful incidents, the writer tells us
that though the Israelites were considered to be the salt of the world, yet the
treachery of the Jael was condemnable.
In the
same way the Greeks cultured but Odysseus killed his guests under his own room.
The Romans were at the peak of civilization in the fifteenth century, but
Borgias concealed poison in their cellars for their guests. Yet the Scotch s’
hospitality is proverbial. It was Scotland that first formed hospitality with
the basic principal that the guest must be honored and protected at all cost.
Discussing
hospitality in the present world, the writer says that it is conventional for
the rich to give and for the poor to take as a result of which the rich usually
become hosts and the poor usually become the guests. But this cannot be
regarded as a rule because neither all the poor are guests nor all the rich are
always the hosts. Most of the time it is simply the matter of one’s’ temperament.
However, a host as a guest is far worse than the guest as a host.
The writer says that like other boys he himself was a guest by nature but he often entertained his friends at the restaurant and was always afraid of the shortage of the money in his pocket. The writer feels that the guests must be obliged to their hosts but many times it is not so. Many guests like Dante are often ungrateful to their hosts.

مفہوم
اس مضمون کے
اندر مصنف بڑے مزاحیہ انداز سے انسانوں کی فطری جبلت مہمان یا میزبان ہونے کی کو پیش کرتا ہے ۔ وہ
انسانوں کو دو گرہوں میں تقسیم کرتا ہے ۔ ایک گروہ وہ ہے جو پیدائشی میزبان ہوتے
ہیں اور دوسرا گروہ وہ ہے جو پیداِشی مہمان ہوتے ہیں۔ مہمان نوازی کی عادت انسان
کی مثبت خصوصیت ہے جو آہستہ آہستہ تہذیب کی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ پیدا ہوئی۔ لیکن مہمان
نوازی کی تاریخ کافی کرب ناک ہے۔ وقت کی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ مہمان نوازی کےطریقے بھی بدل گئے ہیں۔ آج کے دور میں امیروں
کو مہمان نواز سمجھا جاتا ہے اور غریبوں
کو اچھا مہمان سمجھا جاتا ہے حالنکہ ہر
امیر مہمان دار نہیں ہوتا اور ہر غریب
مہمان نہیں
ہوتا ، حالات اس کے برعکس بھی ہو سکتے ہیں
ہوتا ، حالات اس کے برعکس بھی ہو سکتے ہیں

BA English One Act Play,The Boy Comes Home
BA English One Act Play
THE BOY COMES HOME
A.A. Milne
Alan Alexander Milne was a famous comedy
writer. The Boy Comes Home’ was written by him at the end of the 1st
world war.
The play in question is light comedy which
tells us about the generations gaps. There are two main characters in the play; one
is uncle James who represents the old generation, the other is Philip who
represents the young generation. Uncle James is a bullying and rigid type of
man while Philip is a young boy with revolutionary ideas. The old generation
thinks that they are right all the time and they have the authority to impose
their will on the younger generation. But the younger generation with the
revolutionary ideas is not ready to be led by the nose by the old generation. This
contrast projects laughter in the course of the play and the reader is forced
to smile while going through the play.
Philip is the ward of Uncle James because his
father has died , Uncle James who is a very so called strict fellow wants to
impose his so- called rules and regulation on Philip, as he knows that Philip
is forced to comply with him. Uncle
James boasts that he has the purse string as regard to Philip. According to the
will, he cannot use his money until he reaches the age of 22 years.
Philip is unable to follow these strict rules
and regulations of his uncle and he wants to live of life of his own. He wants
to take the breakfast, lunch dinner whenever he wants. He wants to smoke cigarettes.
He does not want to join Uncle James s’ jam business. One day in the morning,
uncle James makes up his mind to make Philip understand to follow him if he
wants to live in this house. But while waiting for Philip, he sleeps. The play
progresses in the dream. Philip comes and Uncle James takes a severe attitude
against him. He uses the force of money against Philip. Philip also uses force
against force and takes out pistol and bomb from his coat pocket.
Seeing this, Uncle James becomes a wet cat and
agrees with Philip. When the dream ends, Philip comes in real. Uncle James very
politely asks him what he wants to do. Philip complies with the desires of his
uncle and is ready to join his business.
