Hamlet

1,Hamlet is considered the first modern play partly because of the psychological depth of its main character -- Hamlet suffers from melancholy, self-doubt, and even delusions(妄想). The audience never quite knows what Hamlet is thinking, or what is real. In fact, Hamlet himself declares again and again

2,"To be or not to be"

Hamlet is musing about death, but whose death, or what kind of death, is frustratingly difficult to pin down. He is perhaps contemplating suicide, perhaps thinking about the risks he must run in order to fulfill the task of revenge. He has an audience of Ophelia, Polonius and Claudius, who are eavesdropping on him; but he most likely does not realize that they are present.

3.(1) Hamlet is a humanist, a man who is free from medieval prejudices & superstitions. He has an unbounded love for the world rather than for heaven. He cherishes a profound reverence for man & a firm belief in man’s power over destiny. Such a delight in nature & man is characteristic of the humanists of the Renaissance.(2) His intellectual genius is outstanding. He is a close observer of man & manners. His quick perception drives him to penetrate below the surface of things & question what others take for granted. So he is forever unmasking his world.(3) Hamlet is not a mere scholar, simply meditative by nature. On the contrary, Hamlet is a man of genius, highly complicated & educated, a man of profound perception & sparkling wit. He is a scholar, soldier, and statesman all combined. His image reflects the versatility of the men of the Renaissance.

4.What do you learn about Hamlet’s mental conflict and character through this soliloquy?

(1) In this soliloquy, Hamlet is detached, reflective, analytic and moral. His thoughts were philosophical rather than practical; his concerns were on the nature of things rather than any specific plans for actions;

(2) his feelings were of a deep sorrow over the injustice and vanity, “a sea of troubles” which brought pains into human life.

(3) His melancholy and procrastination are also revealed. Here he is pondering on the question of life and death. He is thinking of committing suicide.

(4) But he hesitates for he doubts whether death can give him rest and peace. Besides, he is not sure whether the world of death would be better than this one.

(5) He gives the reasons why he wants to commit suicide. Apart from his personal revenge (not be mentioned in this soliloquy), he can’t bear the social injustices and grievances.

(6) He is conscious of his own weakness of thinking too much which makes him dilatory, allowing many opportunities to slip away.

Donne

1.Death Be Not Proud

one of Donne's Holy Sonnets, an almost Startling put-down of poor death. Staunchly Christian in its bare expectation of the resurrection, Donne's poem personifies death as an adversary swollen with false pride and unworthy of being called "mighty and dreadful."

Donne gives various reasons in accusing death of being little more than a slave bossed about by fate, chance, kings and desperate men-a craven thing that keeps bad company, such as poison, war and sickness. Finally, Donne taunts death with a paradox: "death, thou shall die." The sonnet is written in the strict Petrarchan pattern. Abbaabba It reveals the poet's belief in life after death: death is eternal.

John Milton

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is a long epic divied into 12 books.the original story is taken from Genesis (创世纪)3:1-24 of the Bible.The theme is the “Fall of Man(人类的堕落)”i.e. man’s disobedience (不服从)and the loss of Paradise,with its prime cause----Satan.In Heaven,Satan led a rebellion against god.defeated,he and his rebel angels were cast into Hell.However,Satan refused to accept his failure,vowing that”all was not lost”“很有希望“and that he would seek revenge(报复)for his downfall(垮台).the poem goes on to tell how Satan took revenge by tempting(劝诱)Adam and Eve,the first human beings created by God,to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge(区别善恶的树)against god’s instructions(教诲).For their disobedience,Adam and Eve were driven out of Paradise.They wre sorry for what they has done and prayed to God.In the last book they were given the hope for redemption(被赎回).The poem ended with Adam and Eve walking away from(从。。。旁边走过,轻易的胜过)Paradise,hand in hand,and the gates of Eden (伊甸园)were closed behind them.

Paradise Regained shows how mankind,in the person of Christ,withstands(经得住)the tempter(脾气)and is established once more in the divine favor.Christ’s temptation(诱惑)in the wilderness is the theme,and Milton follows the account in the fourth chapter of Matthew’s gospel.Though Paradise regained has many passages of noble thought and splendid imagery equal to the best of Paradise Lost,the poem as a whole falls below the level of the first(翻不出),and is less interesting to read. Defoe笛福

The character Robinson is not common sailor. He is a businessman who takes overseas business as his cause.

Robinson is a bourgeoisie with adventurous spirit

Robinson is a bourgeoisie of practical spirit.

Robinson is bourgeoisie of colonizing character.

Jonathan Swift乔纳森斯威夫特

1.Gulliver’s Travels serves as a biting satire, and Swift ensures that it is both humorous and critical, constantly attacking British and European society through its descriptions of imaginary countries. Robert Burns 彭斯(A Red red rose rose)

1. How dose the narrator in the love song express his love?

to use many figures of speeches: simile, metaphor, repetition

2 .Why is this poem so touching to the readers?

1) original flavor in fiery and direct expression: directly passionate

2) artistic recreation; imagery presentation: newly sprung rose/ sweetly played melody

3) in repetition to stir an echoing effect

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5f3970946.html,ment on A Red, Red Rose

This is one of the world famous love poems, and also one of Burns’best poems. With its simple Scotch language, Burns expresses his love with strong emotions in effective words and haunting rhythm. The language of the poem is quite simple and such Scottish words like “luve”, “las”, “gang”, make it melodious and immortal. So, the poet’s own emotions are expressed with such vividness and simplicity that they appeal directly to the readers’heart.

This poem is written by a man for his lover. In the last stanza we see that he is going away somewhere and “fare the weel”. The narrator keeps the poem simple as he does not want to complicate the expression of his feelings, his only desire is to proclaim his love for his partner, like a rose, soft, delicate, beautiful and innocent, in its simplicity, it sums up this man’s feelings

for someone he adores.

William Wordsworth 威廉华兹华斯

Wandered Lonely as a cloud 我如行云独自游

This is simply a superb poem depicting poet's love for nature. It is a lyric poem focusing on the poet's response to the beauty of nature. The poet is never alone when he is with nature.Poet never felt himself isolated in the company of nature. He is truly a Pantheist, who loves nature as a mother.

Wordsworth 's observations are very deep and may be crowd of Daffodils seems to him as heads of angels. Personification is also used by the poet and his intellect is reflected in this poem. All images are full of life and mood of poem is joyous.

拜伦Byron

Percy Bysshe Shelley 雪莱

西风颂here Shelley‘s rhapsodic狂想的and declamatory tendencies find a subject perfectly suited to them. The autumn wind, burying the dead year, preparing for a new Spring, becomes an image of Shelley himself, as he would want to be, in its freedom, its destructive-constructive potential, its universality. "I fall upon the thorns of Life! I bleed!"

艾米莉·勃朗特Emily Bronte

呼啸山庄

.Heathcliff

Found, and presumably orphaned, on the streets of Liverpool, he was taken to Wuthering Heights by Mr. Earnshaw and reluctantly cared for by the rest of the family. He and Catherine later grew close, and their love became the central theme of the first volume; his revenge and its consequences were the main theme of the second volume. Heathcliff is typically considered a Byronic hero.

Catherine Earnshaw

First introduced in Lockwood's discovery of her diary and etchings, Catherine's life was almost entirely detailed in the first volume. She seemingly suffers from a crisis of identity, unable to choose between nature and culture (and, by extension, Heathcliff and Edgar). Her decision to marry Edgar Linton over Heathcliff has been seen as a surrender to culture, and has implications for all the characters of Wuthering Heights.

In 55 B.C., Britain was invaded by Julius Caesar. The Roman occupation lasted for about 400 years. It was also during the Roman role that Christianity was introduced to Britain. And in 410 A.D., all the Roman troops went back to the continent and never returned. 3. The English Conquest At the same time Britain was invaded by swarms of pirates(海盗). They were three tribes from Northern Europe: the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. And by the 7th century these small kingdoms were combined into a United Kingdom called England, or, the land of Angles.
