ENGLISH PAPER III Note : This paper consists of two parts - (A and B). All questions are compulsory. PART A Note : D 3004 This part has ten short essay type questions of 16 marks each to be answered in about three hundred words each. 2 PART A 1. A poem and a prose passage are given below. Choose one of them and answer the four questions given at the end : You planned to tame a swallow, to hold her In the long summer of your love so that she would forget Not the raw seasons alone, and the homes left behind, but Also her nature, the urge to fly, and the endless Pathways of the sky. It was not to gather knowledge Of yet another man that I came to you but to learn. What I was, and by learning, to learn to grow, but every Lesson you gave was about yourself. You were pleased With my body s response, its weather, its usual shallow convulsions. You dribbled spittle into my mouth, you poured Yourself into every nook and Geanny, you embalmed My poor lust with your bitter sweet juices. You called me wife, I was taught to break saccharine into your tea and To offer at the right moment the vitamins, covering Beneath your monstrous ego I ate the magic loaf and became a dwarf. I lost my will and reason to all your Questions I mumbled incoherent replies. The summer Begins to pall. I remember the ruder breezes Of the fall and the smoke from burning leaves. Your room is Always lit by artificial lights. Your windows always Shut. Even the air-conditioner helps so little, All pervasive is the male scent of your breath. The cut flowers In the vases have begun to smell of human sweat. There is No more singing, no more a dance, my mind is an old Play-house with all its lights put out. The strong man s technique is Always the same, he serves his love in lethal doses, For, love is Narcissus at the waters edge, haunted By its own lonely face, and yet it must seek at last An end, a pure, total freedom, it must will the mirrors To shatter and the kind night to erase the water. (a) What is the old play house suggestive of ? 4 (b) Comment on the role of the female in the poem. 4 (c) Bring out the qualities of the man and how are those expressed in the poem ? 4 (d) Would you call it a feminist poem ? Substantiate your answer with examples. OR D 3004 3 4 P.T.O. Imperialism s culture was not invisible, nor did it conceal its wordly affiliations and interests. There is a sufficient clarity in the culture s major lines for us to remark the aften scrupulous notations recorded there, and also to remark how they have not been paid much attention. Why they are now of such interest as, for instance, to spur this and other books derives less from a kind of retrospective vindictiveness than from a fortified need for links and connections. One of the imperialism s achievement was to bring the world closer together and, although in the process the separation between Europeans and natives was an insidious and fundamentally unjust one, most of us should now regard the historical experience of empire as a common one. The task then is to describe it as pertaining to Indians and Britishers, Algerian and French, Westerners and Africans, Asians, Latin Americans, and Australians despite the horrors, the bloodshed, and the vengeful bitterness. (a) What does the author mean by the visibility of the imperial culture and how does it make its presence felt ? 4 (b) What is the achievement of imperialism and to what commonality does the author refer to ? 4 (c) Bring out the two different ways of looking at the imperial experience. 4 (d) Why is it important for the writer to look at the rulers and the ruled despite such suffering involved ? 4 D 3004 4 D 3004 5 P.T.O. 2. Bring out the blending of humour and irony in General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales. OR Comment on the dramatic relevance and importance of the soliloquies in Macbeth. D 3004 6 16 D 3004 7 P.T.O. D 3004 8 3. Consider The Duchess of Malfi as a play representing a reversal of the revenge mode. OR Do you agree with the view that Milton idealises Satan in The Paradise Lost, Book I ? Give reasons for your answer. D 3004 9 16 P.T.O. D 3004 10 D 3004 11 P.T.O. 4. Bring out the elements of neo-classical criticism as reflected in Johnson s criticism of the Metaphysical poets. OR Would you consider Jonathan Swift a misanthropist ? Give a reasoned answer. D 3004 12 16 D 3004 13 P.T.O. D 3004 14 5. Examine Wordsworth s views on creative process and the use of language as reflected in his Preface to the Lyrical Ballads. OR What elements of realism do you find in the novels of Jane Austin ? Discuss with reference to any of the novels you have read. D 3004 15 16 P.T.O. D 3004 16 D 3004 17 P.T.O. 6. Bring out the conflict between doubt and faith in the poetry of Tennyson. OR Critically comment on the portrayal of child life in the novels of Dickens. D 3004 18 16 D 3004 19 P.T.O. D 3004 20 7. W.B. Yeats s major concern in his poetry is transience of life and permanence of art. Elucidate. OR Examine the poetic elements in the fictional prose of D.H. Lawrence. D 3004 21 16 P.T.O. D 3004 22 D 3004 23 P.T.O. 8. The poetry of Ted Hughes emphasises the pitiless and violent forces of nature. Examine. OR Consider William Golding as a novelist who combines fantasy with psychological realism. D 3004 24 16 D 3004 25 P.T.O. D 3004 26 9. What importance does Aristotle attach to character in a drama ? OR Examine Richards s views on the two uses of language. D 3004 27 16 P.T.O. D 3004 28 D 3004 29 P.T.O. 10. New Historicism is a reciprocal concern with the historicity of texts and the textuality of history. Examine OR Reader response critics of all theoretical persuasions agree that, at least to some considerable degree, the meanings of a text are the production or creation of the individual reader. How far do you agree with this ? D 3004 30 16 D 3004 31 P.T.O. D 3004 32 PART B Note : 11. This part has only one question of 40 marks to be answered in about (800) Eight hundred words.
