Past Paper Novel 2005 | M.A. English Part I (PU) | Eureka Study Aids

Attempt any FOUR questions. All questions carry equal marks.
1. Faithful observation, personal detachment and a fine sense of ironic comedy are among Jane Austen's chief characteristics as a writer.
2. Trollope preferred to describe his characters before showing them in action and sometimes his initial descriptions of them are more interesting than their own subsequent bahaviour. Discuss.
3. The character of Adam Bede is built up from the firm foundation of Native Sagacity and an indomitable sense of justice. Comment.
4. Unlike Hetty, Adam Bede is a man we are called upon to understand in depth; where she is static and bewildered, he is evolving and aware.
5. Symbolism leads additional meanings to those which are apparent on the surface. Discuss with special reference to A Tale of Two Cities.
6. Through a series of events over which Clym has very little control, he come to feel responsible for the deaths of his mother and wife. Discuss.
7. Write critical notes on any TWO of the following topics:
(i) Jane Austen's Limited Range
(ii) Trollope's Art of Characterization
(iii) Edgon Heath symbolizes the whole cosmic order in which man is but an insignificant particle
(iv) There was a revolution in the life of Dickens which corresponds to the external revolution.
