Attempt any FOUR questions including Question No. 1 which is COMPULSORY. All questions carry equal marks.
1. Explain with reference to the context any THREE of the following passages.
(i) I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.
(ii) I agree. What you've just said makes sense.
So tell me the nature of the damage
You claim you're suffering because of me.
(iii) O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feed on
(iv) The story of your romantic origin, as related to me by mamma, with unpleasing comments, has naturally stirred the deeper fibres of my nature. Your Christian name has an irresistible fascination. The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me.
(v) Here, stand behind this bulk; straight will be come:
Wear thy good rapier bare, and put it home:
Quick, quick; fear nothing; I'll be at thy elbow:
It makes us, or it mars us; think on that,
And fix most firm thy revolution.
2. Do you thin it is fair for Oedipus to call himself 'the most worst of men' in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles? Why or why not?
3. Discuss "Doctor Faustus" as a tradegy.
4. Discuss and analyze Leontes's jealousy in Shakespeare's play "The Winter's Tale".
5. Explore Oscar Wilde's Play "The Importance of Being Earnest" as a comedy.
