- Title
Shaping the Self: Critical Perspective and Community in Sohrab and Rustum.
- Authors
Frame, E. Frances
- Abstract
The article argues that in the poem "Sohrab and Rustum," the author, Matthew Arnold, is focusing on the refusal by individuals to realize that there are limits to his/her own knowledge. Arnold used this theme throughout his career. He also surmises that reading the German philosopher Georg Hegel can help readers to understand Arnold better. The author explicates the poem, looking particularly at the metaphors that Arnold used.
