答案是：Enlightenment is a progressive intellectual movement, which swept over England and other lands in Western Europe in the 18th century. Enlightenment freed and reformed the thinking of man. Enlighteners strove to clear away the feudal remnants and replace them by bourgeois ideologue.
|
|
Comedy：
|
答案是：One of the typical literary structures originates as a form of drama and later extends into prose fiction and other genres as well. Comedy, as Susanne Langer says, is the image of Fortune; tragedy, the image of Fate. Each sorts out for attention the different facts of life. Comedy sorts its pleasures. It pleases our egos and endows our dreams, stirring at once two opposing impulses, our vindictive lust for superiority and our wishful drive for success and happiness ever after. The dark impulse stirs the pleasure of laughter; the light, the pleasure of wish fulfillment.

|
Mystery play：
|
答案是：The Mystery plays of the Middle Ages were based on the bible and were particularly concerned with the stories of man’s creation, Fall and Redemption. They antedate Miracle Plays.Mystery Plays developed out of the Liturgy of the church and in particular out of the Quem Quaeritis trope of Easter Day. The earlier dramatizations were presented on the greater festivals of the church: Christmas, Easter,, Pentecost and Corpus Christi. At first they were in Latin and performed by the clergy in the church. There then came an increasing admixture of the vernacular, and lay folk also performed in them. This gradual secularization of the religions drama was accompanied by a corresponding physical move. The drama moved out of the church through the west door. Thus, what had been sacred drama became, literally, profane. From the church yard to the market place was the next logical step.

|
Essay：
|
答案是：A literary composition on a single subject; usually short, in prose, and non-exhaustive.

|
[简答题,10分] In which period did Shakespeare write his major comedies? What are they about?
|
答案是：Shakespeare wrote his comedies in his early period. In these comedies he portrayed the young people who had just freed from the feudal fetters. He sang of their youth, their love and ideal of happiness. The heroes and heroines were sons and daughters of the Renaissance. They trust not in God or king but in themselves. Usually there are two groups of characters in Shakespeare’s comedies. The first group is composed of characters of young men and young women. They live in the world of youth and dreams and laughter, and fight for their happiness. The second group consists of simple and shrewd clowns and other common people. These characters make the play full of humor and laughter. The success of Shakespeare’s comedies owes much to the appearance of clowns. Without them the plays would become dull and humorless. Shakespeare put women characters at a prominent place in his comedies. He showed great respect for the dignity, honesty, wit, courage, determination and resourcefulness of women. The young heroines in the comedies are independent in character and very frank. They are no longer controlled by their parents and husbands. They are of a new type. They are witty, bold, loving, laughing and faithful. They are happy and make others happy. They carry their own hands. In speaking, thinking and feeling they are equal or even superior to men. Shakespeare’s comedies are imbued with bourgeoisie ideas and show progressive significance.

Sonnet：
|
答案是：A fourteen-line lyric poem, usually written in rhymed iambic pentameter. A sonnet generally expressed a scheme, but are generally of two types: the Petrarchan or Italian sonnet and the Elizabethan or Shakespearian or English sonnet. The Italian sonnet is a form that originated in Italy in the thirteenth century. The Italian sonnet has two parts, an octave (eight lines) and a sestet (six lines). Its rhyme scheme is usually abbaabba, cde cde. The two parts of the Italian sonnet play off each other in a variety of ways. Sometimes the octave raises a question that the sestet answers. Sometimes the sestet opposes what the octave says, or extends it. The Italian sonnet is often called the Petrarchan sonnet, because the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch used it so extensively. He dedicated more than three hundred sonnets to a woman named Laura. Petrarch inspired the vogue of sonnet writing in Elizabethan England. It became conventional for English poets to address sonnets to a beautiful but cruel mistress whose eyes were stars, whose lips were cherries, and whose cheeks roses. Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” has been called anti-Petrarchan because he inverts the conventions, describing his mistress in realistic terms. The Shakespearian sonnet consists of three quatrains and a concluding couplet, with the rhyme scheme abab cdcd efef gg. A less important sonnet form is Spenserian sonnet. Its rhyme scheme is ababbcbccdcdee.

Satire：
|
答案是：A kind of writing holds up to ridicule or contempt the weaknesses and wrongdoings of individuals, groups, institutions, or humanity in general. The aim of satirists is to set a moral standard for society, and they attempt to persuade the reader to see their point of view through the force of laughter. The most famous satirical work in English literature is Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels.
|
|
Romanticism：
|
答案是：A movement that flourished in literature, philosophy, music, and art in Western culture during most of the nineteenth century, beginning as a revolt against classicism. The romanticist portrays people, scenes and events as they impress him or as he imagines them to be. A Romantic work has one or more of the following characteristics: an emphasis on feeling and imagination; a love of nature; a belief in individual and common man; and interest in the past, the unusual, the unfamiliar, the bizarre or picturesque, a revolt against authority or tradition. It expresses the ideology and sentiment of the classes and strata that were dissatisfied with the development of capitalism. There have been many varieties of romanticism in many different times and places. Some ideas of English Romanticism were expressed by the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and some were showed by Shelley, Byron and Keats.

|
Pastoral：
|
答案是：From Latin pastor, a shepherd. The first pastoral poet was Theocritus, a Greek of the 3rd century B.C. The pastoral was especially popular in Europe from the 14th through the 18th centuries, with some fine examples still written in England in the 19th century. The pastoral mode is self-reflexive. Typically the poet echoes the conventions of earlier pastorals in order to put "the complex into the simple," as William Empson observed in Some Versions of Pastoral (1935). The poem is not really about shepherds, but about the complex society the poet and readers inhabit.

|
Romance
|
答案是：Any imaginative literature that is set in an idealized world and that deals with heroic adventures and battles between good characters and villains or monsters. Originally, the term referred to a medieval tale dealing with the loves and adventures of kings, queens, knights, and ladies, and including unlikely or supernatural happenings. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the best of the medieval romances.

[简答题,10分] Tell the main idea of The Merchant of Venice.
|
答案是：The Merchant of Venice depicts the heroin Portia’s wittiness, bravery in an emergence in disguise of a lawyer to defeat that evil plot of the most cunning and wicked Jew Shylock. From this play, Shakespeare reflected the sharp contradiction between Antonio, a rising bourgeoisie, and the old-fashioned money usurer, and praised the friendship, love, good-ness as well as condemned the greedy and cruelty.
|
|
[简答题,10分] Make comments on the heroines in Shakespeare’s comedies.
|
答案是：In Shakespeare’s comedies we find an expression of his ungrudging, equalitarian attitude toward women. The young ladies depicted by Shakespeare are always independent in character, prudent, cultured, witty and take their own way of life. There is Portia in Merchant of Venice, who, in order to save her husband’s friend Antonio, rises in emergence in disguise to be a lawyer to deal that wicked and heartless Jew’s conspiracy to put Antonio to death by cutting off a pound of flesh from his breast. Another one Rosalind, the heroin of As You Like It, is also independent, witty and resourceful. They are happy and make others happy. They carry their destinies with them and in speaking and thinking as well as in feeling are men’s equals or even superiors. In a word, they are the daughters of the Renaissance.
