As a playwright,how different is Ben Johnson from Shakespeare?Johnson's theory of "humours" reduces his characters to types, who represent greed, vanity, falsehood, etc. They are flat, one-sided and have no development. Unlike him, Shakespeare digs deep into human nature and depicts the complexities of human relations. Also, Ben Johnson advocates classic Roman and Greek masters, strictly observes the three unities and disapproves of any mixture of the tragic with the comic, while Shakespeare creates according to his own judgment and the taste of the audience, and is very flexible in his handling of drama rules set by the predecessors.2. Please introduce the different periods of Shakespeare's literary career. Shakespeare's literary career may be divided into 3 major periods which represent respectively his early, mature and late period. In the first period(1590-1600),he created mainly history plays and comedies: such as Henry IV, The Merchant of Venice and The Twelfth Night. The second period (1601-1608) is the one of great tragedies, namely Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and King Lear. In the last period (1609-1612), he wrote dramatic romances.3. Please translate the following soliloquyTo be, or not to be- that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortuneOr to take arms against a sea of troubles,And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heartache, and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish'd.To die- to sleep.To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause.生存还是毁灭,这是一个值得考虑的问题;默然忍受暴虐的命运矢石交攻,还是拿起武器勇对无涯的苦难,通过抗争把它们根除,这两种行为,哪一种更高贵?死,就是睡眠就结束了;如果睡眠能结束我们心灵的创伤和肉体所承受的千百种痛苦,那真是生存求之不得的天大的好事。

Allegory is a tale in verse or prose in which characters, actions, or settings represent abstract ideas or moral qualities. Thus, an allegory is a story with two meaning, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.4. Metaphysical poetry: the poetry of John Donne and other 17th-century poets who wrote ina similar style. It is characterized by verbal wit and excess, ingenious structure, irregular meter, colloquial language, elaborate imagery, and a drawing together of dissimilar ideas .5. Naturalism is a post—Darwinian movement of the late 19th century that tried to apply the laws of scientific determinism to fiction. The naturalists went beyond the realists’ insistence onthe objective presentation of the details of everyday life to insist that the materials of literature should be arranged to reflect a deterministic universe in which a person is a biological creature controlled by environment and heredity.6. Sonnet is a verse form of fourteen lines, in English characteristically in iambic pentameter and most often in one of the two rhyme schemes: the Italian(or Petrarchan) or Shakespearean ( or English ).7. Comedy of manners is a kind of comedy representing the complex and sophisticated code of behavior current in fashionable circles of society, where appearances count for more than true moral character. Its humor relies chiefly on elegant verbal wit and repartee. In England, the comedy of manners flourished as the dominant form of Restoration comedy in the works of Etheredge, Wycherley and Congreve. It was revived in a more subdued form in the 1770s by Goldsmith and Sheridan, and later by Oscar Wilde.8. Byronic hero is a character-type found in Byron’s narrative Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. He is a boldly defiant but bitterly self-tormenting outcast, proudly contemptuous of social norms but suffering for some unnamed sin. Emily Bronte’s Heathcliff is a later example.Ⅴ. Short-answer questions. (24%)1. The distorted, alienated and ill relationship between man and nature, man and society, man and man, and man and himself.2. Tom Jones is the pattern of the good-natured unheroic hero of the age. He is a very handsome young man of manly virtues: kind, frank, generous, high-spirited, loyal and courageous, but impulsive, wanting prudence and full of animal spirits and sensuality. He represents everyman. (He is of manly virtues and yet not without fault.)3. 1) The hero is usually a knight using sword, who sets out on a journey to seek adventures and accomplish some goal. He is devoted to the church and the king.2) It lacks general resemblance to truth or reality. (liberal use of the improbable or even the supernatural things)3) It exaggerates the vices of human nature and idealizes the virtues. (standardizedcharacterization)4) It lays emphasis on the supreme devotion to a fair lady. (Romantic love is an important part of the plot.)4. Wordsworth:the great theme remains the world of simple, natural things, in the countryside or among people.Coleridge: his interest is towards the strange, the exotic, and the mysterious things. Shelley: expresses two main ideas --- the external tyranny is the main enemy; the inherent human goodness will eliminate evil form the world.Byron: example of a personality in tragic revolt against society; prototype of romantic hero. Keats: his poetry is a response to sensuous impressions; cares about beauty.5. The two books hold the similar subject matter, but the tone, emphasis and conclusion differ.1) Songs of Innocence is a lovely volume of poems, presenting a happy and innocent world, though not without its evils and sufferings.2) Songs of Experience paints a different world, a world of misery, poverty, disease, war and repression with a melancholy tone.6. Religious (Christian) poetry and secular (pagan) poetry.1) Religious poetry is mainly on biblical themes and saints’ lives, represented by Caedmon and Cynewulf.2) Secular poetry emphasizes the harshness of the circumstance and the helplessness of humans before the power of fate, represented by Beowulf.7. 1) the emphasis on imagination2) the idealization of nature3) the praise of individualism4) the glorification of the commonplace5) the lure of the exotic8. Both are modernist novelists. James Joyce is interested in technical innovation. He introduced three new techniques into English literature: the use of myth, stream-ofconsciousness and epiphany. Lawrence is interested in the tracing of the psychological development of his major characters and the criticism of the dehumanizing effect of industrialization on human nature.Ⅵ. Essay question. (10%)Part IV. Short questions. (20 points)1.The story shows strict class system, the differences and lack of communication between the rich and thepoor.2.The story is comprised of four episode, which are quite unified with Gabriel’s frustration, and eachepisode witnesses more serious conflict than the previous, thus, it is a climaxing order in terms of structure.3.Tess is a pure woman, although society and other people believed otherwise. She has done nothingwrong. She is seduced, but does not have sex of her own accord with Alec. She is sacrificed to society, yet she has no evil intensions when she go across the threshold of her parents’ and enters the world. She is a victim.4.An example of symbolism would be the ribbon Tess wears at the may day dance, the read spot of bloodon the ceiling at the Herons, Sandbourne, that the landlady sees, the Stonehenge, the black flag at Tess’s hanging, the spoiled milk by garlic, or the dying pheasants Tess sees in the woods.5.a). The two houses embody the two major principles of life in the book: storm and calm. WutheringHeights is located on a hill and is constantly attacked by wild winds. The inhabitants are constantly being torn by strong passions and violence is their natural language. Thrushcross Grange is comparatively sheltered from the wild elements. It is delicate and refined. The people of the Grange are gentle and seek not so much wild sparkle and dance of life. b). They also represent nature and culture.6.The poem expresses Yeats’ thought that modern civilization is in a state of decay, and that a long cycleof history is ending while another is approaching. But the new historical age might be led by a monster.It expresses his disillusionment of the civilization of his time.7.The west wind is both a destroyer and a preserver because it destroys in autumn (blowing the leaves offthe trees and bury them beneath the earth) in order to revive in the spring (the seeds grow and bring new life to the Earth). It marks the cycle of the seasons. It is around this image the poem weaves various cycles of death and regeneration—vegetational, human, and divine.8.marriage and women’s fate, self-acknowledge, manners, virtue and sense of responsibility9.Richard thinks the party childish and he thinks that it is foolish of Clarissa to like excitement in spite ofher heart; Peter thinks her snobbish, liking to have famous people around her. But to Clarissa, the party is an offering, to combine and to create. The parties are her effort to create some human connection and dialogue. She hopes to be remembered even after her death.10.It helps to create a chaotic world of confusion. The crowd gather under the portico to seek shelter; theyrepresent slice of society of people from different social strata. It also provides a opportunity for themain characters to meet in an unlikely circumstance.KeysFinal Examination for Grade 2002History of English LiteratureⅠ.

Examples are Dickens’s David Copperfield and James Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.5.Naturalism: a post--Darwinian movement of the late 19th century that tried to apply the laws of scientific determinism to fiction.

Conceit: a kind of metaphor that makes a comparison between two startlingly different things. A conceit usually provides the framework for an entire poem. An especially unusual and intellectual kind of conceit is the metaphysical conceit, used by certain 17th-century poets, such as John Donne.。
