The Genius

Abstract

Many readers think that human genius is a permanent gift, just like the natural well that can’t be drained. Unfortunately, the truth is so far from this familiar belief. Via accurate studies in the lives of many giants in literature, one can unfold the surprised shock that under the iron heel of certain circumstances the human talent may be stolen permanently or ephemerally. Also the effect of cruel circumstance emerges in the form of vivid exaggeration or divergence from the main plot. The literary gifts appear in this research as victims to various causes like: time, financial security, circumstantial difficulties, interference in recreating the genius, failure in personal relations and other effects. One stance from many will be discussed for each state. This will help the literary reader to understand the grounds behind the rapid waging of some writers as rockets in the sky of literature, then their quick eclipse. Their stars faint in some works and bright in other. This research focuses on the genius in writing which is as any art stems from the most sensitive spot of human heart. This talent is subject to different effects.
