COMPRIHENTION Read through carefully and answer the questions below. 10 marks Excerpt from an interview with Joseph Campbell I have been happily married forty-eight years, and I ought to know something about it. The important thing in marriage is the relationship between two people, and when one becomes married- I mean really has become married- one has shifted the center of regard from oneself to the relationship of the two. And when you think of yourself as sacrificing or giving up things, it is not for the other person that you are doing it, it is for the relationship. And you are as much in the relationship as the other one is, do you see what I mean? This is what you are dealing with, the two together. And you have to think of yourself not as this one, but as these two as one. And I say if your marriage isn’t the highest priority in your whole life, you’re not married, that’s all. And the thing I frequently say is that marriage is not a long love affair. Now this is the big problem in modern marriage, the idea – it was first announced, as far as I know, in the thirteenth century by Wolfram von Eschenbach – of love as the ground for marriage. Formerly, and in most parts of the world, the society tells you who is going to marry whom through arrangements made by the parents. Love affairs were always dangerous to ‘that’ idea of marriage. These two ideas of marrying for love- in-marriage is the confirmation of love. And love is the sacramentalization of marriage. Marriage, as I said, is not a love affair; it is an ordeal. If you think of it as that, you will be able to go through with it. The ordeal consists specifically in sacrificing ego to the relationship. And ego is always coming up, you know, saying, “Oh, poor me. Nobody’s doing my typing for me,” and that sort of thing. By the way, I know one great scholar who went through three wives until he got the one that would not only do the typing, but could do it in Greek and Latin as well!! What is your opinion about ‘marriage’ as a social institution in India? What is ego and how do you handle it as an individual? Is humor an important element in assessing the nature of a person? The writer emphasizes the word ‘relationship’. How much time and effort would you invest in a relationship? One more similar question (comprehension) has to be answered for 10 marks.
