The Tiger P50
1.Why does the poet mention the Lamb? Do you think both the Lamb and the Ti ger can
illuminate each other?
The Tyger is corresponding to The Lamb. Both the poems show the poet ’s exploration, understanding and plaint of the mysterious creation. In this poem, the author implies that the Tiger is created by God as well as the Lamb. S o either the Tiger or the Lamb is essential to God. I think both the Lamb and the Tiger can illuminate each other. Although the Lamb can represent the kind “innocent society”, it will be lack of enough motivation to make progress. While the Tiger will caus e social misery, unrest or even disruption, but it can make people release their creativity. So the poet believes that the Tiger is the symbol of strength and courage. And he also praises its passion, desire and all the lofty beauty.

James Joyce
1.What is the significance of the title of the story?
Key:“Araby”means bazaar,a real marketplace on the outskirt of Dublin in Joyce’s childhood.But because of the suggestion of Mangan’s sister,and that the boy promises to buy something for her,the“Araby”becomes a land of romance to the boy and arouses his great excitement and passions for going there.He takes it as an ideal land and place of heart’s desire to realize his romantic and beautiful dream.But when he arrives at the bazaar,it is all dark and almost closed,and he cannot find anything worth buying for the girl.The boy’s dream is shattered completely.In this sense,we can say that the title reveals the themes of the story.

1.Does the house really whisper?Make comments on the repetition of the phrase “There must be more money!’’
Key:No,the house does not whisper but the people who live in the house feel that they are short of money,and as if they can always hear such whisper in their house.They lust for money,especially the mother in the house who is so eager to have much more money that she neglects her children and even cannot love them in a normal way.So,this whisper has sunk deep down into their hearts.
Although this family live in style,they are not satisfied by their situation, especially the mother,who always feels that they need more money.This repetition indicates the destruction of industrialization over human nature.In industrial society,people pursue wealth and fame avariciously.Perhaps,not only the people in this house can hear such repetition,but also those who live in such social environment.

Of Marriage and Single Life
1.Is marriage an impediment or help to one’s career development?
Key:Sometimes,marriage can be an impediment,and sometimes,it can help one develop his or her career as well,because it depends on the quality of the marriage.As the saying goes“A peaceful family will prosper”,so we can say that husbands and wives can benefit a lot from good marriages,while a terrible marriage will ruin both sides.In a good marriage,husband and wife will be happier,and they will help and encourage each other,which will be good for their careers.On the contrary,in an unhappy marriage,husband and wife usually quarrel a lot and things tend to be worse.

T.S.Eliot
1.What do you think of the first four lines?What does the author want to say? Key:After reading the first four lines,I feel sorrowful,desperate and upset. Because the words such as“cruellest”,“dead”and“dull”give people a kind of depressed and sapless feeling.
The author wants to reveal the waste scenes and pictures to people,which indicates the wasteland of modern people’s spiritual world,in which there is only disillusion and desperation.
2.What is the symbolic meaning of water in the poem?
Key:In the poem,Eliot purposefully employs an ambiguous water motif to make points about nature,culture,religion and life in general and about how modern man in his reactions to each has become a“wasteland”and needs to be reborn. Besides,Eliot uses water to represent death and rebirth in the poem,both for natural death and the death of culture.He also uses water to convey his feelings towards the all-encompassing culture of his time and his hope for the future.The ambiguity which Eliot associates with water has confused many,but is,in fact, extremely important in the poem.

(2) Interpretation of the poem
The poem Ode to the West Wind can be divided in two parts: the first three cantos are about the qualities of the ‘Wind’ and end each with the invocation ‘Oh hear!’. The last two cantos give a relation between the ‘Wind’ and the speaker. In this first of the five sections of the poem, the speaker begins to define the domains and the powers of the West Wind. While stanza II addresses the wind's influence on the sky, and stanza III discusses its effects on the sea, stanza I describes the wind's effects on the land. The autumn breezes scatter dead leaves and seeds on the forest soil, where they eventually fertilize the earth and take root as new growth.

第8单元浪漫主义诗人（2）
George Gordon Byron
She Walks in Beauty
1.What is the colour of the lady’s dress?How do you know?
Key:The lady’s dress is black.Because“She walks in beauty,like the night/Of cloudless climes and starry skies”.We can see that she is dressed in black and looks like the dark night.
2.What does“their dwelling place”refer to in the last line of the second stanza? Key:It refers to the lady’s face.“Or softly lightens o’er her face;/Where thoughts serenely sweet express/How pure,how dear their dwelling-place.”From these lines,we can know that“their”refers to“thoughts’”.
3.Where are the lady’s winning smiles?How do they appear to the poet?
Key:The winning smiles are on the lady’s face and over her brow.
The poet observes the woman’s tints on the face,so he figures out the smile on it.
When a Man Hath No Freedom to Fight for at Home
1.What should a man fight for according to the poet?
Key:According to the poet,a man should fight for glories and freedom.“Let him
think of the glories of Greece and of Rome”,“Then battle for freedom wherever you can”.
2.What is the difference between this man in Byron’s poem and a hero in your mind?
Key:In my mind,a hero should only think about others and forget about his own life and glories.However,in this poem,the man is seeking for rewards and is thinking about being knighted if he can live through the war.“And is always as nobly requited”,“And,if not shot or hang’d,you’ll get knighted”.
Percy Bysshe Shelly
1.In what way is the West Wind both a destroyer and a preserver?
Key:The poet describes vividly the activities of the west wind on the earth,in the sky and on the sea,and then expresses his envy for the boundless freedom of the west wind,and his wish to be free like the wind and to scatter his words among humankind.The west wind is the destroyer as it is turbulent and strong and destroys the wide spread vegetation.It drives the last signs of life from the trees. It is the preserver as it brings life to the dead atmosphere,and it scatters the seeds which will come to life in the spring.The west wind enjoys boundless freedom and has the power to spread messages far and wide.
2.What is the relationship between the West Wind and the poet?
Key:The poet admires and envies the West Wind very much.He admires the West Wind because it is very powerful,and he envies the West Wind because it is free from any restriction.The poet wants to be like the West Wind,which becomes the symbol of power and freedom.What’s more,the poet appeals to the West Wind to infuse him with a new spirit and a new power to spread his ideas.
3.As“the trumpet of prophecy,”what does the West Wind predict in physical reality?How do you understand it symbolically?
Key:The West Wind predicts that the cold winter is coming.
The West Wind symbolizes a kind of revolutionary power and spirit.It destroys the old and builds up the new.It predicts the winter is nearby,thus the spring is not far behind.In a deeper sense,it predicts that the bright future is not far away.
John Keats
1.Describe,in your own words,the scenes on the Grecian urn.Who are they in the pictures?And what are they doing?
Key:There are two scenes on the Grecian urn.The first scene describes the fair youth under the tree tying to kiss his lover,but he cannot.The second scene is that people are coming to the sacrifice on the morning of a special day.
