英国文学学习资料Unit 2Sonnet 181.What is the theme of the sonnet?The poet writes beautifully on the conventional theme that his poetry will bring eternity to the one he loves and eulogizes.2.What does the poet mean by the last two lines? What is the role of the last six lines?The last two lines mean “you will not lose your own beauty, nor shall Death boast that you roam about in his darkness; so long as men can stay alive, so long as this poem lives, it gives you eternal life.” The sestet provides a major “turning” in the sonnet and answers the question raised earlier: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? The answer is: a nice summer’s day is usually transient, but the beauty in poetry is eternal.ment on the humanist idea expressed in the sonnet.In this sonnet Shakespeare expresses a very bold idea: beauty can rely on the force of literature to reach their eternity; literature is created by man, thus it declares man’s eternity. This idea is not only possessed by Shakespeare. It is a spark of the European Renaissance movement. Under the harsh religious control on the medieval period, man was not a great being, an eternal being, but rather a being of born sin. Now there rises a vigorous commercial class of bourgeoisie, strongly attacking the feudal ideas and declaring things created by man are eternal. This historical circumstance gave the sonnet a particular deep and rich meaning. The emphatic tone of the poem shows the mighty self-confidence of the newly-arisen class. And the vivid variable and rich images reflect the lively and adventurous spirits of those who were opening new space, creating new world.Unit 3Of Marriage and Single Life1. Is marriage an impediment or help to one’s career development?I think it just depends. Good marriages usually lead to good results and bad marriages may lead to bad results. Of course, there are cases in which bad marriages lead to good results if the two make good their own folly or one helps the other overcome (get rid of) his/her shortcomings.2. In what sense are wife and children “a kind of discipline of humanity”?A married man knows how to love, and how to respond to love. By contrast, a single man’s tenderness is not often called upon. Loving husbands commonly have grave and constant natures. Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses. A man may have a good reason to marry when he will. Bad husbands can become good husbands under the influence of good wives. If a woman persists in choosing a bad man for her husband against their friends’ consent, she is sure to be able to help him to get rid of his shortcomings (folly).3. Bacon prefers marriage to single life. Do you find his arguments convincing?Bacon neglected one important aspect of a married life. Not only do the couple share the common ground, but each of them is an independent being, who has his/her own space for development. One cannot impose ideas upon the other. Bacon’s words incline people to think a woman is just something helpful to a man and attached to a man. A woman just acts according to what a man says and does. That means women are passive and men are active. A woman should think and act from a female perspective in many cases.Of Studies1. We are now living in the age of “information explosion”. What lessons can we learn from Bacon’s “Of Studies” in our access to information?According to Bacon, the general counsels, and the plots and marshaling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. That is to say, right decisions and judgments over important matters are based upon comprehensive knowledge which is acquired by studies. Without a wide range of knowledge, a person cannot digest information, analyze information and take timely measures accordingly.2. In what sense does reading make a full man.Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for abilities. But the general counsels, and the plots and marshaling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. Studies perfect nature, and is perfected by experience. There is no stond or impediment in the wit but may be wrought out by fit studies. Studies can train (shape) a person’s character and make up a person’s deficiencies. Every defect of the mind may have a special receipt.3. What does the essay deal with?This essay analyzes what studies chiefly serve for, the different ways adopted by different people to pursue studies, and how studies exert influence over human character.4. What do you think of the language of the essay?The essay is peculiar for its clearness, brevity, and force of expression. The sentences are short, pointed, incisive, and of balanced structures. Conciseness of expression and simplic ity of diction are two chief distinguishing features of the prose style of Bacon who was among the earliest of English essayists.Unit 4Analysis 1John Donne’s, “The Flea,” is a persuasive poem in which the speaker is attempting to establish a sexual union with his significant other. However, based on the woman’s rejection, the speaker twists his argument, making that which he requests seem insignificant. John Donne brings out and shapes this meaning through his collaborative use of conceit, rhythm, and rhyme scheme. In the beginning, Donne uses the flea as a conceit, to represent a sexual union with his significant other. For instance, in the first stanza a flea bites the speaker and woman. He responds to this incident by saying, “And in this flea our bloods mingled be.”He is suggesting that they are united in this flea and, thus, would equally be united in intimacy(性行为). In addition, he states, “This flea is you and I, and this our marria ge bed, and marriage temple is.”The speaker is suggesting that through the flea the two are married. Again, the flea represents marriage, union, and consummation(完成,圆满,完美)through intimacy. However, the woman crushes the flea, thus, refusing his request, and states that neither she nor he is weakened by its death.Based on her reaction, the speaker states, “Tis true...Just so much honor, when they yield’st to me, Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.”In other words, he twists his argument to make the point that the woman will lose as much giving herself to him as she lost killing the flea - NOTHING! Secondly, Donne’s use of rhythm aids in shaping the poem’s meaning. The poem has alternating lines of iambic tetrameter(四步)and pentameter. However, Donne varies this rhythm to create emphasis on particular words or phrases. For instance, in the first stanza he states, “Mark but this flea, and mark in this.”Instead of beginning with an unstressed word or syllable as in iambic, Donne stresses the word “Mark.”This is important in accentuating his argument. In this same phrase, he uses a pyrrhic(抑抑格)foot over “but” and “this” so stre ss can be placed over the word “flea.”Again, the flea is a n important part of the speaker’s argument and emphasis is placed accordingly.Finally, Donne’s rhyme scheme plays an important part in the meaning. All twenty-seven lines of the poem follow the aabbccddd rhyme scheme. This consistency in pattern re flects the speaker’s persistence as he proceeds with his request for intimacy throughout the poem.Analysis 2The Flea by Jo hn Donne Incomplete Essay Donne’s poem “The Flea” appears to be a love poem, a dedication from a male suitor to his lady of honor, who repudiates to yield to his lustful desires. In this poem, the speaker tries to seduce a young woman by comparing the consequences of their lovemaking with those of an insignificant fleabite. He uses the flea as an argument to exemplify that the physical relationship he desires is not in itself a momentous event, because a similar unification has already taken place within the flea. In the stanza 1, the speaker creates likeness between the fleabite and lovemaking. I interpreted the first two lines, “Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that, which thou deny’st me, is;” to mean that the woman doesn’t reject the flea entrée to her body, yet she denies the advancements of the speaker. Then the speaker shows the similarities between their lovemaking and the mingling of their blood within the flea. “It sucked me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.” This argument shows the woman that the same physical exchange, which takes place between her and a flea, is the same type of union that he has in mind. In lines 5-6 ofstanza 1 the speaker persuades the woman that their act could not be considered a sin because a fleabite isn’t considered one. This act could not be considered a loss of innocence because it is so common that if it were to be true, nearly everyone would have lost his or her innocence. Therefore this lady should not be troubled about giving herself to him before they marry, because their only act is the mixing of their blood. The poet introduces the idea of the baby in the final lines of stanza 1. “And pampered swells with one blood made of two, And this, alas! Is more than we would do.” This line describes the physical changes that happen to a fle a’s body after it fills with blood. The flea is now considering the baby produced by their bloods.In the second stanza the speaker asks the women to spare the life of the flea because if she kills it she would kill three lives as well. Not only that, the flea (the baby) has joined them eternally, the same way marriage would join them. “Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, yea more than, married are. This flea is you and I, and this Our marriage bed and marriage temple is.” Since they h ave already the marital bond, making love would not be considered a sin. Lines 14 and 15 of stanza 2, “Though parents grudge, and you, we are met, and cloistered in these living walls of jet,” describes how her parents do not accept that what he says is marriage. But last lines of stanza 2, the speaker argues that if she kills the flee she would be committing murder. “Though use make you apt to kill me, Let not to that, self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.” She would kill the symbolic marriage realm and the baby. In addition to those murders, she would be killing herself.In the last stanza, the woman has killed the flea and in doing so she has killed the child. “Cr uel and sudden, hast thou since purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?” The speaker then brings up the point that the child is innocent and all the baby did wrong was choosing her as a mother. “Wherein could this flea guilty be, Except in that drop which it sucked from thee?” The next two lines indicate that she is happy, but the speaker says that she should not. “Y et thou triumph’st, and say’st that thou Find’st not thyself, nor me, the weaker now.” She should not be cheerful because her choice to kill le d to her loss of innocence. And the speaker ends the argument in the subtext of the third stanza saying that since she has already los s her innocence by killing the flea, she might as well give into him because she cannot lose her innocence again. “The Fl ea” by John Donne, an English poet and clergyman, was one of the greatest metaphysical poets. His poetry was marked by conceits and lush imagery. The Flea is an excellent example of how he was able to establish a parallel between two very different things. Donne adopts a cynical and rather flippant tone towards his woman, using his wit to try to belittle and overcome her moral arguments for immediate pleasure.ConceitConceit, an unusually far-fetched or elaborate metaphor or simile presenting a surprisingly apt parallel between two apparently dissimilar things or feelings. Under Petrarchan influence, European poetry of the Renaissance cultivated fanciful comparisons and conceits to a high degree of ingenuity, either as the basis for whole poems or as an incidental decorative device. Poetic conceits are prominent in Elizabethan love sonnets, in metaphysical poetry, and in the French dramatic verse of Corneille(高乃依,法国17世纪剧作家)and Racine(拉辛,法国17世纪剧作家). Conceits often employ the devices of hyperbole, paradox, and oxymoron.1. Why does the poet say that “this cannot be said a sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead”?T he woman doesn’t reject the flea entrée to her body, yet she denies the advancements of t he speaker. The speaker shows the similarities between their lovemaking and the mingling of their blood within the flea. “It sucked me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.” This argument shows the woman that the same physi cal exchange, which takes place between her and a flea, is the same type of union that he has in mind. Their act could not be considered a sin because a fleabite isn’t considered one. This act could not be considered a loss of innocence because it is so common that if it were to be true, nearly everyone would have lost his or her innocence. Therefore this lady should not be troubled about giving herself to him before they marry, because their only act is the mixing of their blood.2. What do you think is the addressee’s parents’ attitude toward the poet’s wooing?Lines 14 and 15 of stanza 2, “Though parents grudge, and you, we are met, and cloistered in these living walls of jet,” describes how her parents do not accept that what he says is marriage. Her parents are against such a marriage.3. What is the real purpose of the poet to say that in killing the flea “thou” are actually killing three lives?Three lives refer to you, me and the flea (implying our baby). The speaker argues that if she kills the flee she would be committing murder. She would kill the symbolic marriage realm and the baby. In addition to those murders, she would be killing herself. When the flea is killed, the speaker purposefully turns to another argument. The killing has done no harm tothem. Likewise, their secret union will do no harm to them. They should not worry about their union. Their fears are false.Death, Be Not Proudment on the poem.This poem reveals the aut hor’s belief in life after death. Here death is compared to rest or sleep. Death is but momentary while happiness after death is eternal. This religious idea is curiously expressed in the author’s supposed dialogue with “death”, as various reasons are given in the poem against the common belief in death as “mighty and dreadful”. According to the author, “death” is a slave and will die. The sonnet was a typical work of the school of metaphysical poetry.2.How do you understand lines 5-8?Apparently, Donne is saying that relaxation and slumber are desirable things in life, and death offers human beings eternal “rest” and “sleep”, and therefore “much pleasure”. By saying “which but thy pictures be”, Donne refers to the fact that our image of Death is rest and sle ep. Of course, all men and women, not just the “best men”, eventually walk with Death. Donne means to say that even the best among us will perish in the end. No one is safe, but that’s not necessarily the way to look it. Death is not something we should fear, for it is part of a natural cycle. It is the preface to our final sleep, which offers “freedom” (and final delivery) for the soul. Here Donne is implying that our life offers only imprisonment for the soul, and in this sense Death would be more powerful.Paradise Lost1.Where is the story taken from? Tell the story briefly.The story is taken from the Old Testament. Satan and other angels rebel against God, but they are defeated and driven from Heaven into Hell. Even amidst the furnace of Hell, Satan is determined to fight back. He assumes the shape of a snake and comes to the Garden of Eden, a paradise where Adam and Eve live. God, after knowing Satan’s plot, sends the Archangel Raphael to warn Adam and Eve of Satan. However, Satan still succeeds in seducing Eve to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which has been totally forbidden by God. As a result, Adam and Eve are exiled by God from the paradise and thereafter live a life full of hardship.2.The general subject(总的主题)is briefly stated in Book I, from which the excerpt is taken. What is the general subject? The general subject is man’s disobedience and the loss thereupon of Paradise, with its prime cause, Satan, who, having revolted from God, has been driven out of heaven. Satan is represented with his angels, lying on the burning lake of hell. He awakens his legions, comforts them, and summons a council. Pandemonium, the palace of Satan, is built.mon on the character of Satan in Book I of Paradise Lost?Satan in Book I is in some ways an appealing figure. Most of us admire the rebel, especially the rebel who will not bow down to another even in defeat. He is a good military leader. And when he feels sorrow at the sad plight(状态)of those he had led to so terrible a punishment, we cannot but sympathize with his state of mind. Satan is at the most notable in Book I because he has about him the last flickers(闪烁)of heavenly radiance(光辉), the traces of his ruined greatness. There is undoubtedly something thrilling as he summons up his defeated powers, c ollects together the scattered legions (军团)of the lost angels, addresses them with words of defiance of God, and draws forth response of militaristic(穷兵黩武的)assent as his troops “Clashed on their sounding shields the din of war, / Hurling defiance towards th e vault of heaven.” But even in Book I the effects of his sin are beginning to show. He blusters(吓唬,狂吹). He presents the commonest excuse the wrongdoer who has failed can make: he says more than once that he had no way of knowing God was so strong when he rebelled since no one had ever tried His strength. He lies when he claims to have emptied Heaven, for only a third of the angels rebelled. In spite of the terrible defeat he has just suffered, he refuses to acknowledge the power of God. He will continue the battle, even though he should realize that all he can get out of his fight is further pain for himself and for his fellows. For all this self-delusion(自欺), however, Satan’s defiance of the Divine Will is indispensable to the continuance of his identity, a predicament that raises him to tragic status.4. Where are the serpent and his followers condemned after their defeat?They are driven from Heaven into hell.5. What are the God’s punishments for those rebellious angels as described by Milton in lines 59-74?Satan looks around and finds himself in a horrible dungeon. There is a great furnace in the dungeon. What is burning is sulfur, with flames, but without light. Through the visible darkness, he can discover sights of woe, regions of sorrow,mournful shades, where peace and rest can never live. Hope goes everywhere except to this place. It is such a place as Eternal Justice had prepared for those rebels. It is far away from God and light of Heaven.6. What is considered by Satan as “ignominy” and “shame” (line 115)?To bow and sue for grace with suppliant knee and deify his power. To give in to God, to fall down on one’s knees to beg for mercy submissively, worship God’s power, become scared for God’s authority and power, lose confidence.7. What is Satan advising the serpent and his followers to do in this part of Paradise Lost?He is defeated in the battle against God, but he does not lose heart. He w ill not bow down to God. Instead, he is advising the serpent and followers to rise up again and fight another battle.Unit 5* 辉格党(Whig)和托利党(Tory)是17世纪末在英国出现的两个正在形成中的政党。

Led by Julius CaesarComplete control over the land in 43 A.D.Leaving in around 410 A.D.10.The English conquest11.The Norman conquest1)The year 1066: Norman Conquest.2)The social situations soon after the conquest.A. Norman nobles and serfs;B. restoration of the church.12.The church reformation13.The bourgeois revolution14.The Glorious revolution15.The industrial revolution16.The French revolution回答问题1.What makes the poet think that"thou"can be more beautiful than summer and immortal in "Sonnte 18"?A:On the one hand,"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, and summer's lease hath all too short a date;"on the other hand,"Sometime too hot the heaven shines, and often is his gold complexion dimmed."So from the above two aspects the poet thinks that "thou" can be more beautiful than pared with immortal, "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee." So in this case, "thou" in the poem can be regarded as female because love can beauty eternal. Or "thou" can be referred to male, for friendship can make beauty everlasting.2.What are the most striking qualities of Robinson Crusoe’s character?A:First of all, he is adventurous. Unlike common people, Robinson is eager to take adventures. So he is brave under most circumstances and curious about new things. Even when he was left in a deserted island, he was not afraid of what he was confronted with.3.How the narrator in”A Red,Red Rose”express his love?A:To use many figures of speeches: simile,hyperbole, repetition.1)Simile: He comparing his love to a red rose and a piece of melody.2)Hyperbole:In the last line of the stanza, he presents his love to his girl withhyperbole.3)Repetition: The poet addresses his girl as a red red rose for many times.4.What do you think of the title of “She Walks in Beauty”? How do you understand the comparison between the woman and the night.A:1)a.”She walks in beauty”is the theme of the poem, the poet used the enumeration of certain qualities that he considered to give her beauty to describe his cousin—a young lady.b.The word ”walk” gives a connotation of advancing, not only in space, butalso in time.2)The poem used images of light and darkness interacting to describe thelady’s personality and looks: She wore a black dress. She was quiet like night with a peaceful mind, and that was the inner beauty of her.ment on this sentence: ”Justice’was done, and the President of the immortals( in Aeschylean phrase) had ended his sport with Tess”. In what sense is Tess’ story tragic?A:1)Tess is a typical victim of the society. Poverty of the family, inhumanity, injustice and hypocrisy of the society decide her tragedy.The two men—the one who takes away her virginity and purity, the other who takes away her love but deserts her on the very weding night—join their forces in bringing about her final destruction.Hers is a personal tragedy; it can also be a social one.2)The tragic fate of Tess and her family was not an individual one, but it was symbolic of the disintegration of the English peasantry--- a process which had reached its final and tragic stage at the end of 19th century.6.The excerpted part of Pygmalion shows that Eliza, the flower girl, now is admired by people for her way of speaking. What do you think of this? Do you think that learning a language can change a person?A:1) I don’t believe that the admiration from people at party for Eliza is true. It is not based on their own experiences and feelings, but based on the shallow views from others. It revealed the shallowness and hypocrisy of the upper class at that time.2)自行补充7.What is the significance of the title of “Araby”? Is anything gained by the boy through his frustration and humiliation?A:1)Araby is a splendid bazaar where Mangan’s sister recommended the boy togo. In his imagination before he went to there, Araby was “An Eastern enchantment” in which his “soul luxuriates”.2) He at least realized that the true life is not as perfect as what he thought to be.。
