With a Jungian understanding of the psychoanalytical importance of myths and its archetypes, the paper will dive deep into the aforementioned mythologies and fish out some interesting parallels between the plot, characters, conflict, setting and theme of the two. The paper will discuss how the underlying tone of various myths and mythical characters is the same and how despite the different language the essence of the mythologies remains the same. Monica Fludernik's essay-"The Structure of Narrative" would be used to understand the narrative discourse, structure and elements of the myths. An endeavor to perform a comparative analysis of the mythological epics-Homer's Iliad and Valmiki's Ramayana would be made. The paper would also attempt to explore the process of stories transcending into history and history transcending into mythology. Rahul Sankrityayan's Volga Se Ganga and the Parry-Lord theory will be used to understand the significance of the similarities between these mythologies and the possibility of a combined narrative and a collective narrator in context of migration and orature.

The major political factions of the time were the Whigs and Tories, who held contrasting views on monarchy, governance, and religious tolerance. The Whigs championed parliamentary supremacy, advocating limits on monarchical authority, whereas the Tories maintained allegiance to the divine right of kings and resisted foreign entanglements. This period also saw challenges to the unquestioned authority of science and a growing awareness of history's role in shaping the world. Discussions on civil rights, democracy, and social justice emerged as large portions of the population suffered from poverty and hardship. The long-held belief that poverty was a divine punishment gradually lost ground, prompting legal and social reforms. This environment of economic and social distress fuelled dissent against the crown, inspiring writers to use literature as a vehicle for political and religious discourse. This paper examines the interplay between politics, religion, and literature in early eighteenth-century England through a critical reading of Daniel Defoe's The True-Born Englishman and Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal, highlighting their satirical responses to the socio-political and religious challenges of their time.
