An Analysis on Rabeca in Vanity Fair

In this novel, the main character, Becky was emphasized to depict and criticize. She is an orphan without social position or noble family, but in order to step into the high levels of society, she made full use of her charm and tricks and became a conscienceless, vain and greedy liar. She was a clever, quick-witted and beautiful woman. She took advantage of the two superiorities to obtain wealthy and stable positions at her early age and she was ready to gain noble positions. Such as compared to those sons and daughters of rich family, she can only use her head to change her fate. This point reflected her brilliance.

Rebecca was the most vivid and best-created image in Vanity Fair. Although she was as sharp as a needle, Rebecca Sharp was such a sparklingly clever and resilient woman that her marvelous ability to scheme and maneuver almost won the admiration of the readers. Born with no advantages, in a society that values rank and wealth, Becky

makes her way to the highest levels of society through her own resources, with determination, intelligence, hard work, and talent. She is resourceful and bounces back from every reversal. At the same time, her behavior and character are morally indefensible; she constantly manipulates others, she lies, she cheats, she steals, she betrays Amelia, and perhaps she even commits a murder. From her earliest years, she had to live by her wits. We know that at first she was just a poor orphan then a governess, later a Mrs. Rawdon and Mrs. Joseph. No one could not blame her badness for her employing all possible means for her sole purpose of gaining money. But what she had done really showed her great capability. When she was still at school, Miss. Pinkerton, the mistress of the school, her enemy, had to say that Sharp was capable indeed. When she served as a governess in Sir Pitt Crawley, she read over all those law papers for Sir Pitt and copied many of his letters. Later she was her husband’s worthy “teacher”. Even her husband admired her.

Why did Thackeray give Becky this kind of character? In my view, the author wanted to stress the tragic consciousness and moralize the readers and instruct them to avoid stepping in her way. We could see although Becky was shrewd, strong-minded, vigorous, she would never achieve her dreams and never be happy. Obviously, Thackeray portrayed a conscienceless, hypocritical adventurer instead of a hero. Becky undertook the tragic mission as a heroine. As a young girl, she suffered in poverty, so when she grew up, she desired to step into the upper society at the expense of everything, however, after a short hedonistic period, she was deserted by her husband, son and friends. So she was doomed to live a lonely later life and a tragic character. The tragedy was brought about by the ugly social reality. At the end of the story, the author sighed that: "Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum, which of us is happy is this world? Which of us has his desire? Or, having it, is satisfied? "It was tinted with the tragedy of reality. And author uses her to reveal the ugly unbearable

society, and then reflect bourgeois ruthless. Ambitious, selfish, hypocrisy and greed fickle are also the whole characteristic features for bourgeoisie. Becky exists as a mirror , her any unbearable behavior can reflect the essence of the bourgeois.

第2单元威廉?莎士比亚 Hamlet 1.Why sleep is so frightening,according to Hamlet,since it can“end”“the heartache and the thousand natural shocks”?

Key:According to Hamlet,because that people don’t know what lying there waiting for them in the unknown world,maybe something more terrible than that in the mortal world. 3.What,after all,makes people lose their determination to take action?Please explain in relation to the so-called hesitation of Hamlet.

英国文学史(上册) 第一章安格鲁—撒克逊时期(450—1066) 1.历史背景 不列颠群岛最早的居民是凯尔特人,他们最初居住在莱茵河上游地区,大约在公元前600年,他们移居到了不列颠群岛。在大约公元前400到公元前300年时,凯尔特人的一个分支——布立吞人,来到了不列颠群岛,“不列颠”这个名字便是由他们所取。凯尔特人的文化属于铁器文化的早期阶段,他们知道如何铸造铁剑和种植庄稼。关于他们的信仰,我们所知甚少,但是我们能了解到他们五月节的宗教典礼和槲寄生(一种植物)的祭奠仪式,这些已经成为英国人民民族传统的一部分。 从公元前55年到公元407年,不列颠群岛在罗马帝国的统治之下。那时,罗马帝国是奴隶社会,它统治了整个欧洲,并且有很高的文明水平。罗马人打败了凯尔特人,成为了不列颠群岛的主人,伦敦就是在罗马人的统治时期内建成的。 第一个来到不列颠的罗马将领是著名的尤里乌斯.凯撒,公元55年,在他取得高卢战役的胜利后,带领一万名士兵跨过英吉利海峡来到那里。但是他只在哪儿待了几个星期,虽然他在第二年又来到了不列颠,他并没有在岛上驻扎军队,因为他当时正忙于平息欧洲大陆的叛乱,还有罗马帝国的内战。在罗马人对不列颠扩大征服之前,就这样过去了一个世纪。罗马人统治了不列颠三个半世纪,他们筑寺庙、修大路、砌城墙、建军营,但是,对凯尔特人的文化生活却影响不大。他们建成了四、五十个城邑,如今无论何时,如果你在英国听到一个城镇的名字是以“切斯特”或“卡斯特”结尾的,那么毫无疑问,它一定是坐落在一个罗马军队曾经的屯兵之地上。因为这样的词来源于拉丁语“卡斯楚”,它的意思是“要塞、堡垒”。大部分我们所知道的罗马统治时期的不列颠,都来源于凯撒的《高卢战记》,和普布里乌斯?克奈里乌斯?塔西佗的《日耳曼尼亚志》。 大约公元450年,大批的安格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人入侵不列颠群岛,他们定居在英格兰,把凯尔特人赶往威尔士、苏格兰和爱尔兰等周边地区。安格鲁人和撒克逊人是日耳曼部落,他们占据着易北河的两岸,也就是现在丹麦和德国的地方,这两个部族之间的语言也大致相同。从他们特有的的部族名字我们可以得知他们是非常勇敢的海上民族。古散克逊语“安古尔”意思是“钩子”,从中我们可以得知他们住在海边,以捕鱼为生。而“撒克逊”这个名字则源于“希克斯”,意思是短剑,从这个名字我们可以判断他们是坚强勇敢的战士。尽管遭到凯尔特人的奋勇抵抗,安格鲁—散克逊人最终还是将他们击败,成了不列颠群岛的新主人,也是现在英国人的祖先。 在大约公元500年,在对抗韦塞克斯王国的建立者——国王瑟迪克的过程中,一个传奇人物,凯尔特人的亚瑟王,名声大噪。在都城索美塞特夏,他的宫殿卡米洛特,亚瑟王召集了一批最勇敢的追随者,也就是著名的圆桌骑士。他为他的王国同安格鲁—撒克逊侵略者英勇作战了24年,后来他的故事也成了英国骑士文学的题材。 在从欧洲大陆移民之前,安格鲁—撒克逊人明显还处在部落社会的晚期,在他们移往不列颠之后,部落社会逐渐解体,封建社会开始形成。在将近公元6世纪时,在英格兰已经有7个较大的王国。 从8世纪后期开始,丹麦人,也就是维京人,开始入侵英格兰,起先只是沿着东海岸,

英国文学选读课后答案

The Tiger P50 1.Why does the poet mention the Lamb? Do you think both the Lamb and the Ti ger can illuminate each other? The Tyger is corresponding to The Lamb. Both the poems show the poet ’s exploration, understanding and plaint of the mysterious creation. In this poem, the author implies that the Tiger is created by God as well as the Lamb. S o either the Tiger or the Lamb is essential to God. I think both the Lamb and the Tiger can illuminate each other. Although the Lamb can represent the kind “innocent society”, it will be lack of enough motivation to make progress. While the Tiger will caus e social misery, unrest or even disruption, but it can make people release their creativity. So the poet believes that the Tiger is the symbol of strength and courage. And he also praises its passion, desire and all the lofty beauty. 2.What is the symbolic meaning of the tiger? What idea does the poet want to express? The symbol of the Tyger is one of the two central mysteries of the poem (the other being the Tyger ’s creator). It is unclear what it exactly symbolizes, but scholars have hypothesized that the Tyger could be inspiration, the divine, artistic creation, history, the sublime (the big, mysterious, powerful and sometimes scary. Read more on this in the "Themes and Quotes" section), or vision itself. Really, the list is almost infinite. The point is, the Tyger is important, and Blake’s poem barely limits the possibilities The tiger is the embodiment of God's power in creation: the animal is terrifying in its beauty, strength, complexity and vitality. The poem is divided into six parts. In the first part, the author imagined that he met a terrible tiger on a dark night and was frightened by its awful eyesight. There are creations and creators. How great the creator is that he could create such an awful creation like tiger! In the second part, the author continues to ask, where comes the eyesight like fire, sea or sky? The following two parts, the author describes the creator as a smith. He creates the tiger. What behind the questions is the frightening and respect of the author to the creator. In the fif th part, the author changes his tone and asks when the stars throw down their spears, why they are not happy? The last part is as same as the first part, the creator is too mysterious to understand. The tiger shows its outstanding energy. It’s the vitality which the author thinks highly of. The key sentence of the poem is "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" It challenges the one-track religious views of the 18 ’s century. The view only concluded that god create the lame, he is so kind a father. But it didn ’t know god also create the tough tiger. He can also be very serious. The god is someone who can’t be truly understood by human beings. Ode to the West Wind P83西风颂 第一节 哦,狂暴的西风,秋之生命的呼吸!你无形,但枯死的落叶被你横扫, 有如鬼魅碰到了巫师,纷纷逃避:黄的,黑的,灰的,红得像患肺痨, 呵,重染疫疠的一群:西风呵,是你以车驾把有翼的种子催送到 黑暗的冬床上,它们就躺在那里,像是墓中的死穴,冰冷,深藏,低贱, 直等到春天,你碧空的姊妹吹起她的喇叭,在沉睡的大地上响遍,

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) 乔叟He was born in 1343 in London. He died in 1400 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, thus founding the “Poets Corner”.The father of English Poetry and one of the greatest narrative poets of England.“The Canterbury Tales” (1387-1400) It is Chaucer?s masterpiece and one of the monumental works in English literature.
