Analysis of short stories and novels (about 40 points)Example 1Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.QuestionsWhat can we learn from this short passage about Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet? What was the tone of the passage? Does this passage illustrate the style of Jane Austen?Example 2One evening I went into the back drawing-room in which the priest had died.It was a dark rainy evening and there was no sound in the house. Through one of the broken panes I heard the rain impinge upon the earth, the fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds. Some distant lamp or lighted window gleamed below me. I was thankful that I could see so little.All my senses seemed to veil themselves and feeling that I was about to slip from them, I pressed the palms of my hands together until they trembled, murmuring: O Love! O Love! many times.QuestionsWhat can we learn about “I” from this short passage? What was the meaning of the sentence “I was thankful that I could see so little.” ? What rhetorical device was used in this passage?Example 3“Justice was done, and the President of the Immortals (in Aeschylean phrase) had ended his spot with Tess. And the d’Urbervilles knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely. As soon as they had strength motionless: the flag continued to wave silentlyflag continued to wave silently. As soon as they they rose, joined hands again, and went on.QuestionsWhat is your understanding of the sentence “And the d’Urbervilles knight and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing”? Was justice really done?What is your understanding of the very end of the novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” by Thomas Hardy?3. Analysis of the poems (about 30 points)Example 1Little Lamb I’ll tell thee,Little Lamb I’ll tell thee!He is called by thy name,For he called himself a Lamb;He is meek & he is mild,He became a little child;I a child & thou a lamb,We are called by his name.Little Lamb God bless thee.Little Lamb God bless thee.QuestionsWho is “he ” in the third line of this stanza? What is the dominant feeling in this stanza? What are you understanding of the last two lines?Example 2Oh stay Oh stay, three lies in one flea spare, , three lies in one flea spare,Where we almost, nay more than married are.The flea is you and I, and thisOur marriage bed and marriage temple is; Though parents grudge, and you, we are met,And cloistered in these living walls of jet.Though use make you apt to kill me,Let not do that, self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.QuestionsWhat extraordinary metaphors (conceits) do you find in this stanza? Give an example and explain it. What is the central idea in this stanza?4. Paraphrasing (about 15 points)Example 1Certainly wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity; and single men, they e many times more charitable, because their means are less exhaust, yet on the other side, they are more cruel and hard-hearted (good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon.Example 2Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,Who is already sick and pale with griefThat thou her maid art far more fair than she.Be not her maid, since she is envious.Her vestal livery is but sick and green,And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.Example 3Thus conscious does make coward of us all, And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o ’er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pitch and momentWith this regard their currents turn awryAnd lost the name of action.。

What lessons can we learn from Bacon ’s< of studies> in our access to information?Our planet is developing forward. That is the external condition for our study, which we can appropriately make full use of. But what we have to keep in mind is that the eternal master of study is no one but ourselves in the process of studying.??就是随着时代的脚步进步，充分利?资源[2.] In what sense does reading make a full man?Reading makes a full man. Histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.3 P32 [Paradise Lost][John Milton]缺失4 P60 [I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud][William Wordsworth][1.] What is the relation between the poet and nature as described in the poem?Theme of Happiness.The poet is really enjoy the nature.[2. ] Do you think nature can have healing effect on mind?I think nature can have healing effect on mind, but the precondition is that the nature should be peaceful and earthly.5 P102 [Great Exception][Charles Dickens][1.]Magwitch the “the convict” takes the risk of being “hanged” when comes back to London to see Pip. How do you evaluate this meeting?To Pip，it’s a surprising and unwilling meeting.To Magwitch it is a willing meeting which he has been looking forwards to for a long period of time.[2.] What’s the meaning of “gentleman” in the contest of the novel?It mean a man who was poor but warm-hearted.6 P125 [Tess of the D’Urbervilles][Thomas Hardy][1.] How does Tess react to Clare’s s uggestion that they should leave their shelter?Why?She showed a strange unwillingness to move. Because she doesn’t want to put an end to all that’s s weet and lovely peacefulness and affection.[2.] What is the significance of Tess resting on an altar in the heathen temple?Her death is caused by human hypocrisy and foolishness, similar to that of a sacrifice. At the end, the only place which can accept her for who she is is death and sacrifice.[3. ]Comment 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?Tess is a typical victim of the society. The tragic fate of Tess and her family was symbolic of the disintegration of the English peasantry.7 P173 [Araby][James Joyce][2.]Chief qualities of the boy’s character?He is sensitive and intelligent— sensitive enough to experience a wide range of feelings in spite of his tender age,and not merely in the conventional sense of the word.8 P179 [Mrs. Dalloway][Virginia Woolf][1.] How does Woolf present Mrs. Dalloway to the reader?In Mrs. Dalloway, Woolf’s emphasis is not on plot but onthe inner lives of the characters. As the ebb and flow of personal impressions, feelings, and thoughts are described, the characters unfold themselves vividly in front of the reader.Woolf doesn’t limit herself to one consciousness, but slips from mind to mind.“And then, thought Clarissa Dalloway,…”“A Charming woman, Scrope Purvis thought…”“Such fools we are, she thought,”[2.] What is the function of Big Ben?The passing of hours is indicated by the chimes of Big Ben. It reminds the reader of the actual reality of the physical world and also the different stages of Mrs. Dalloway’s life.The implication of “strikes” and “circles”.The novel is a life story of Mrs. Dalloway, is about the human life and is about its tension between misery and happiness.PART three 术语解释1.Heroic couplet or couplet： It is a term in poetry applied to two successive line of verse that form a single unit because they rhyme; the term also is often used for lines that express a complete thought or form a separate stanza. Couplets in English are usually written in ten-syllable (decasyllabic) lines, a form first used by the 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. This evolved into the so-called heroic couplet, two rhyming iambic pentameter lines, is also called a closed couplet because the meaning and the grammatical structure are complete within two lines.英雄双?体A rhyming couplet of iambic pentameter, often “closed”, i.e. containing a complete thought, there being a fairly heavy pause at the end of the first line and a still heavier one at the end of the second. Commonly there is a parallel orantithesis within a line, or between the two lines. It is heroic because in England, especially in the eighteenth century, it was much used for heroic (epic) poems.举例Th e Canterbury Tales Chaucer 1386-1400He wore a fustian tunic stained and darkWith smudges where his amount had left mark;He had just come back from his voyageAnd now was going on this pilgrimage.2.Soliloquy is a speech that reveals a character’s innermost feelings and plans while other characters remain unaware of what he is saying.独?A dramatic speech intended to give the illusion of unspoken reflections举例Hamlet Shakespeare 1601Hamlet To be or not to be-that is a question:…….And lose the name of action.3. Sonnet derives from the Italian sonetto a “little sound” or “song”. The ordinary sonnet consists of fourteen lines, usually in iambic pentameters with considerable variations in rhyme scheme.The three basic sonnet forms are: a) the Petrarchan which comprises an octave rhyming abbaabba and a sestet rhyming cdecde or cdcdcd, or in any combination except a rhyming couplet; b) the Spenserian of the three quatrains and a couplet, rhyming abab, bcbc ,cdcd, ee; c) the Skakespearen, again with three quatrains and a couplet, rhyming abab, cdcd, efef, gg.四?诗A verse form consisting of 14 lines with a fixed rhymescheme举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?…….So long lives this,and this give life to thee4.Shakespearean Sonnet: Also called Elizabethan sonnet or English sonnet, this sonnet form is perfected by Shakespeare. It is structured of three quatrains and a terminal couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg.莎??亚?四?诗A sonnet consisting three quatrains and a concluding couplet in iambic pentameter with the rhyme pattern abab cdcd efef gg举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Th ou art more lovely and more temperateRough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date…….So long lives this,and this give life to thee5.Iambic pentameter: Iambic: an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable Its pattern is like this :U ／pentameter: five feetAn example:Shall I compare thee to a summer’ day?U / U / U / U / U /Thou art more lovely and more temperate:U / U / U / U / U /As shown above, the syllables are arranged in the pattern of the unstressed and stressed (U /), so the meter is iambic. And each of the lines contains 5 iambic unit (iamb), so the lines are iambic pentameter.五步抑扬格A metrical unit with unstressed-stressed syllables 举例Close to the sun in lonely lands.close\sun\lonely都是扬声.to\in\lands是降调.举例Sonnet 18 Shakespeare 1609Shall I compare thee to a sum mer’s day?举例Th e Canterbury Tales Chaucer 1386-1400He wore a fustian tunic stained and darkWith smudges where his amount had left mark;He had just come back from his voyageAnd now was going on this pilgrimage.6.Symbol：Literally, something that stands for something else. In literature, any word, object, action, or character that embodies and evokes a range of additional meaning and significance. Version 2. It is something which represents an idea, a physical entity or a process but is distinct from it. The purpose of a symbol is to communicate meaning. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a picture of a tent might represent a campsite. Numerals are symbols for numbers. Personal names are symbols representing individuals.A red rose symbolizes love and compassion.象征An arbitrary sign that has acquired a conventional significance Something visible that by association or convention represents something else that is invisible举例Tyger William Blake 1794The tiger is the embodiment of God's power in creation: the animal is terrifying in its beauty, strength, complexity and vitality. The poem is divided into six parts. In the first part, the author imagined that he met a terrible tiger on a dark night and was frightened by its awful eyesight. There are creations and creators. How great the creator is that he could create such an awful creation like tiger! In the second part, the author continues to ask, where comes the eyesight like fire, sea or sky? The following two parts, the author describes the creator as a smith. He creates the tiger. What behind the questions is the frightening and respect of the author to the creator. In the fifth part, the author changes his tone and asks when the stars throw down their spears, why they are not happy? The last part is as same as the first part, the creator is too mysterious to understand.7. Irony is a statement in which the intended meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning.讽刺A trope that involves incongruity between what is expected and what occurs举例Great Expectations Charles Dickens 1860“Gentleman”Tess of the D’Urbervilles Th omas Hardy 1891Tess A pure woman8.Bildungsroman：The Bildungsroman, or novel about upbringing and education, had its beginning in Goethe’s work, Wilhelm Meister Iehrjahre ,(Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship 1796歌德《威廉.迈斯特的学习时代》德国教育?说的典范) which is about the process by which a sensitive person discovers hisidentity and place in the big world. This kind of novel often starts with the main character as a child, and then presents the child’s growth and development towards adulthood. This rebellious character goes through a sequence of tests and finally comes to a better understanding of himself and the world. This type of novel is often autobiographical, such as Somerset Maugham’s Of Human Bondage(1915) and James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). It frequently uses first person narration.In form, Great Expectations fits a pattern popular in 19th century European fiction: the bildungsroman, or novel depicting growth and personal development, generally a transition from boyhood to manhood such as that experienced by Pip. Great Expectation depicts a process of maturation and self-discovery through experience as a protagonist moves from childhood to adulthood.成长?说A novel about the early years of somebody's life, exploring the development of his or her character and personality举例Great Expectations Charles Dickens 1860A novel about Pip formative years9.Dramatic Monologue：A monologue is a lengthy speech by a single person. In a play, when a character utters a monologue that expresses his or her private thoughts, it is called a soliloquy. Dramatic Monologue, however, does not designate a component in a play, but a type of lyric poem that was perfected by Robert Browning. In its fullest form, as represented in Browning’s “My Last Duchess”, ”The Bishop Orders His Tomb”, “Andrea del Sato”, and many other poems戏剧独?A poem or other literary work consisting of words supposedly spoken by a character, often in a specific situation, either directly to the reader or to a listener举例My Last Duchess Robert Browning 1842Th at’s my last Duchess painted on the wallLooking as if she were alive……诗歌语??语化，夹叙夹译10.Antihero: The chief person in a modern novel or play whose character is widely discrepant from that which we associate with the traditional protagonist or hero of a serious literary work. Instead of manifesting largeness, dignity, power, or heroism, the antihero is petty, ignominious, passive, ineffectual, or dishonest. The use of nonheroic protagonists occurs as early as the Picaresque novel of the sixteenth century, and the heroine of Defoe’s Moll Fl ander(1722) is a thief and a prostitute. The term “antihero,” however, is usually applied to writings in the period of disillusion after the Second World War, beginning with such protagonists as we find in John Wain’s Hurry on Down(1953) and Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim (1954). Notable later instances in the novel are Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch -22 (1961), Humbert Humbert in Vladimir Nobokov’s Lolita (1955).反英雄The central character in a story who is not a traditionally brave or good hero，a protagonist who lacks the characteristics that would make him a hero举例Ulysses James Joyce 1922A novel described Bloom a layfolk’s day life .11.Epiphany means “a manifestation,” or “showing forth,”and by Christian thinkers was used to signify a manifestation of Go d’s presence within the created world. James Joyce adapted the term to secular experience, to signify a sudden sense of radiance and revelation that one may feel while perceiving a commonplace object.顿悟A divine manifestation举例Araby James Joyce 1905O I never said such a thing ……Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.12.The “stream of consciousness” is a narrative method of capturing and representing the inner workings of a character’s mind. The term was first used by William James in his Principles of Psychology(1890)意识流A literary style that presents a character's continuous random flow of thoughts as they arise举例[Mrs.Dalloway] Virginia Woolf 1925For having lived in westminster how many years now Over twenty……物的意识交错在没有度量的?理时间PART four 作者思想1 Full wise is he that can himselven knowe——Geoffery Chaucer[1343-1400]知者智2 What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving,how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! thebeauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.——William Shakespeare [1564-1616]类是?件多么了不起的作品！他的理性多么?贵！才能多么?限，动作多么敏捷，体形多么令?赞叹！?为像天使，悟性像天神！宇宙之?美，众?之灵长.This passage has provoked bitter scholarly battles—over its punctuation. Is Hamlet saying that man is like an angel in apprehension (understanding), or like a god in apprehension? The different placement of commas in the early texts of the play makes all the difference.3 All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility.——William Wordsworth[1770-1850]切好诗都是强烈情感的?然流露?这种情感又是经过在宁静中追忆的。
