Attempt any FOUR questions including Question No. 1 which is COMPULSORY. All questions carry equal marks. Be brief and to the point.
1. Explain with reference to the context any FOUR of the following passages:
(i) "What may this mean? Language of men pronounced.
By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed?
The first at least of these, I thought denied
To beasts, whom God on their creation-day
Created mute to all articulate sound;....
(ii) Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
And rest can never dwell, hope never come
That comes to all.
(iii) My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts doe in the faces rest,
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without sharp west?
(iv) What moved my mind with youthful lords to roam?
Oh! Had I stayed, and said my prayers at home
'Twas from my trembling hand the patch-box fell;
(v) Thus, for our guilt, this jewel have we lost;
The earth his bones, the heavens possess his ghost.
(vi) Well liked by all and intimate was he
With Franklins everywhere in his country
And with the worthy women of the town
(vii) The faithful wife, without debate,
Such sleeps as may beguile the night:
Content thyself with thine estate,
Neither dish death, nor fear his night.
(viii) Since thou and I sigh one another's breath
Whoe'r sighs most, is crudest, and
Hastes to the other's death.
2. Give a detailed critical analysis and appraisal of any one of the poems of Surrey: On Wyatt's Death, The Means to Attain a Happy Life OR
Wyatt's most perfect poems are not, them, his most original in form. Discuss.
3. Draw a character sketch of Belinda as portrayed in the Rape of the Lock.
4. Who, do you think is responsible for the fall of Man Adam or Eve? Illustrate from Book-IX of the Paradise Lost.
5. Discuss the variety of Moods in which Donne treats Love in his love poetry.
6. Write a note on Chaucer's female pilgrims as presented in the Prologue.
7. Dr. Johnson remarked about Milton's Paradise Lost that "its perusal is a duty rather than a pleasure". Do you agree?
