Chose the best answer 15’Ⅲ. Appreciation 40’1. to a sky larkAuthor: Percy Bysshe Shelley(1)This stanza is quoted from Shelly‟s To a Skylark.(2)Shelly is an English romantic poet with revolutionary thought. He published the works which expressed the rebellious spirits against English politics and conservative values. His works produced a kind of connection with the politics. Most of his works reflected the revolutionary and optimistic belief for the future. Shelley is listed into the younger generation of English romantic poets including Byron and Keats while William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey were listed into the older generation. The older generation was labeled by simple ideas and a reverence for nature, while the poets of the younger generation came to be known for their sensuous aestheticism, their exploration of intense passions, their political radicalism, and their tragically short lives.(3)In this poem, the poet expresses his yearning for freedom. When the poet heard the beautiful song of the skylark, he also was moved by the song and shar ed the same happy feeling with the bird. “Blithe spirit” symbolizes the skylark. Shelley considered the skylark as the “blithe spirit”. The song of the skylark was so beautiful that the poet believed that it was an immortal bird. The poet expressed his yearning for freedom and wanted to get rid of all human fetters.2. Pride and prejudiceAuthor: Jane AustenLiterary style: RealismStory about: It is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility during the Georgian era. Mr.Bennet is an English g entleman with his overbearing wife. The Bennets‟ five daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia. Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr.Bennets dies, their house will be inherited by a distan t cousion whom they have never met. The family‟s future, happiness and security is dependent on the daughter‟s making good marriages. The main plot is about the five daughters,especially the main character Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy as they deal with matters of upbringing, marriage, moral rightness and education in her aristocratic society.3. Break, Break, BreakAuthor: Alfred TennysonThe “hand” and the “voice” refer to the hand and voice of the poet‟s dead friend Arthur Hallam.The poem is one of Alf red Tennyson‟s lyrics. The lyric is composed at the poet‟s best friend‟s sudden death. Here, the poet contrasts his own feeling of sadness over the loss of a dear friend, combining the nature and his inner world with the joys of the children and the unfeeling waves of the sea that break on the shore and the insensate ships that enter a harbor. The language is musical and rather beautiful.4. My last duchessAuthor: Robert browning(1) comments:In this poem, Browning creates a character of chilling coldness and cruelty. The speaker is a Duke who is conducting negotiations for a bride, a new duchess. He is talking with the representatives of potential father in law. Almost casually, he shows them the picture of the …last‟ duchess whom he had killed becaus e he could not dominate her.●The poem provides a classic example of a dramatic monologue:●the speaker is clearly distinct from the poet;●an audience is suggested but never appears in the poem;●and the revelation of the Duke's character is the poem's primary aim.(2)Character analysis:. the duke: proud, possessive, cruel, despotic jealous, hypocritical, selfish, narrow-minded; a lover of the arts. the duchess: gentle, kind, beautiful, noble-minded, democratic;(3)Meter"My Last Duchess" is in iambic pentameter6. Rhyme: Heroic Couplets(4)Type of Work: Poem as Dramatic MonologueThe form of a dramatic monologue.During his discourse, the speaker makes comments that reveal information about his personality and psyche, knowingly or unknowingly. The main focus of a dramatic monologue is this personal information, not the topic which the speaker happens to be discussing.(5)ThemeThe theme is the arrogant, authoritarian mindset of a proud Renaissance duke. In this respect, the more important portrait in the poem is the one the duke "paints" of himself with his words.Ⅳ. Terms 15’1. The subtitle of Vanity FairThe subtitle may suggest:1) No heroic people in this novel;2) No predominantly unique character in the novel, i.e. lots of characters will appear as a gallery;3) No more prominent male character in the story-telling or in other words, this book will be a book of women instead of men.2.Critical realismThe critical realism of the 19th century flourished in the forties and in the beginning of the fifties the realists first and foremost set themselves the task of criticizing capitalist society from a democratic viewpoint and delineated the crying contradictions of bourgeois reality. But they did not find a way to eradicate social evils. Charles Dickensis the most important critical realists.3. The Victorian lady noveliststhe Bronte sisters and Gorge Eliot.Charlotte Bronte and Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte had a great fondness for literature. Charlotte‟s first novel The Professor was rejected by the publisher, but her second one Jane Eyre won immediate success when it appeared in 1847; the same year, Emily‟s single and unique work Wuthering Heights and Anne‟s Agnes Grey were also published. Soon they were followed by Anne‟s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. After the death of Emily and Anne, Charlotte continued writing and published her next important novel Shirley. Another novel Villette appeared in 1853, her most autobiographical work, largely based on her experience on her experience in Brussels.George Eliot, pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans, was born into an estate agent‟s family in England. Her most popular novels, Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss(1860), and Silas Marner (1861), all drawn from her knowledge of English country life and notable for their realistic details, pungent characterization and high moral toneⅤ. Comments 20’1. The gothic elements in Wuthering HeightsThe Gothic novel is a literary genre, in which he prominent features are mystery, doom, decay, old buildings with ghosts in them, madness, hereditary curses and so on.The setting is prominent in Gothic Literature. In this way, a Wuthering heights follows the convention of Gothic Literature. Wuthering heights is describes as a morbid place. ”Wuthering”, being the operative word, is used to show the great winds that pass through this area. Also, the actual structure of the house was built, ”strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones”. Thus, the architectural structure of the house has a gothic nature.Heathcliff, the main male protagonist in the novel, shows aspects of Byronic Hero, a figure that has become familiar to fans of Gothic. His past is shrouded in mystery; his parentage is never discovered, and the reader knows only that old Mr.Earnshaw found him wandering the streets of Liverpool as a young boy. His lack of surname stresses the mystery of his background, and even as he grows older he maintains this air of secrecy---for example, when he returns to Wuthering Heights he becomes a wealthy man after a long absence and no one is ever able to say where he made his money. When heathcliff grows older he is nothing more than a villain. For example, he take advantage of Isabella; He locks young Catherine up in Wuthering Heights forcing her to marry her cousin, while her father lies dying at Thrushcross Grange. His only motive is revenge.A mysterious and ghostly atmosphere does pervade the novel. Not only does Lockwood experience Catherine‟s ghostly presence via his dream, but he also make other references to spiritual creatures---at the end of the novel, the house is to be shut up “for the use of such ghosts as choose to inhabit it”, and despite the positive nature of the union between young Cathy and Hareton, the novel ends on a more somber note with a visit to graves of Catherine, Heathcli ff and Edgar:” I lingered round them…and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unique slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.”2. The main achievements of Robert Browning(1)Robert B rowning‟s main contribution to the English literature is the introduction of a new form to poetrywriting-----Dramatic Monologue(2)Dramatic Monologue is a kind of poem in which a single fictional or historical character other than the poetspeaks to a silent “audience” of one or more person. Such poem reveal not the poet‟s own thoughts but the mind of the impersonal character, whose personality is revealed while the implied presence of an auditor distinguishes it from a soliloquy.。

He may make no secret of describing sexual love and man’s selfish desire. He not only discarded the traditional morals, but used the language any nasty circumstances needed without scruple.2—4答案见教材PART TWOII.

(Because Shylock has made a strange bond that requires Antonio to pay him a pound of flesh if he can’t repay him, the money that he bo rrowed for his friend in due time.)6、1) In most of his works, Defoe gave his praise to the hard-working, sturdy middle class and showed his sympathy for the lower-class people. Robinson Crusoe was such a character.2) Robison goes out to sea, gets shipwrecked and marooned/landed on a lonely island, struggles to live for 24 years there and finally is saved by a ship and returns to England. During the period Robinson leads a harsh and lonely life and survives by growing corps, taming animals, etc. growing from a nave young man into a hardened man.3) With a great capacity for work, inexhaustible energy (精力充沛), courage and persistence in overcoming difficulties（在克服困难方面持之以恒）, in struggling against nature, Crusoe becomes the prototype / representative of the empire builder, the pioneer colonist. （他是大英帝国缔造者的完美典范，同时也是殖民者的先驱）．4) In the novel, Defoe glorified human labor and the puritan fortitude which the middle class praised highly, so he can be regarded as a spokesman of the bourgeois.7、(本题属于超纲题，书上没有现成的答案，可忽略不计)8、She doesn’t like the old world ---European life.

Petrarch was regarded as the fountainhead of literature by the English writers. Wyatt introduced the Petrachan sonnet into England and Surrey brought in blank verse.2) The Elizabethan drama, in its totality, is the real mainstream of the English Renaissance. The Greek and Roman Drams had a great influence on the Elizabeth Drama, especially on Shakespeare’s tragedies. E.g. Hamlet, the first of the great tragedies, is regarded as Shakespeare’s most popular play on the stage.3) Francis Bacon, the first important English essayist, is best known for his essays which greatly influenced the development of his literary form. He was the founder of modern science in England.10、1) Allegorically, Young Goodman Brown becomes an Everyman called Brown, who will be aged in one night by an evil adventure, and the evilness makes everyone a fallen idol in the world.2) "My Faith is gone" is a pun, it means my wife has disappeared or my faith to God has gone. In the angle of Symbol: "Brown look up to the Heaven and resist the wicked one" symbols Brown has the force to resist the evilness of the Nature and he still has the faith to God; but "he is alone in the forest" symbols the society is the place full of sins and evilness, Brown’s strength is not enough at all; then after returning, he lives a dismal and gloomy life symbols he has been crushed down by the social evilness and lost his belief in goodness and piety.。
