It is a typical example of irony. The word “benefit”, “pleasure”, and “advantage” actually mean theopposite. For the “benefit” of exercise, Oliver was whipped every mo rning in a stone yard; for the “pleasure” of society, he was carried every other day into the dinning hall and flogged as a public warning and example to the boys; and as for the “advantages” of religious consolation, he was kicked into the same apartment every evening at prayer time and listen to the boy?s prayer to be guarded against his sins and vices. The ironic statement is, in fact, a bitter denunciation and fierce attack at the brutal, inhuman treatment of the poor orphan by the workhouse authority.2.“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little,I am soulless andheartless? --- You think wrong!--- I have as much soul as you--- and full as muchheart…I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, or even of mortal flesh;---it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God?s feet, equal--- as we are!”Reference: The statement is taken from Charlotte Bronte?s masterpiece Jane Eyre. In this famous declaration, Jane proves herself a new, unconventional woman, a woman who believes in the basic human rights, in the independence and equality of people of all social classes. She is courageous enough to defy the social conventions that discriminate against the poor and the unfortunate and deprive them of their right to equality. It is not just a personal protest and declaration a governess makes to her master, but a declaration made on behalf of all the unfortunate middle-class working women, and of all the poor people in the world.3.“He flung himself into the nearest seat, and on myapproaching hurriedly toascertain if she had fainted, he gnashed at me, and foamed like a mad dog, and gathered her to him with greedy jealousy. I did not feel as if I were in the company of a cr eature of my own species…”Reference: The sentences are taken from Emily Bronte?s Wuthering Heights. It is a description of the mad, desperate love between Catherine and Heathcliff in her death scene. Heathcliff, seeing his love on the verge of death, was heart-broken. Though they two tortured each other with many a false charge, they were eager to cling to each other at this last moment. Heathcliff, in his eagerness to have her all to himself, now behaved like an animal greedily and jealously guarding his dear one or treasured prey. The terms “gnashed” and “foamed”, simple action words, vividly presents the image of a man desperate in his desire to take possession of his beloved and in his anxiety that someone would come and take her away from him.4.“Tho?/ We are not now that strength which in old days/ Moved earth and heaven;that which we are, we are;/ One equal temper of heroic hearts,/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to speak, to find, and not to yield.”Ref erence: These lines are taken from Alfred Tennyson?s “Ulysses”. In this poem, the old Ulysses is trying to persuade his old followers into setting upon further adventurewith him again. in these lines, he argues that great strength they used to have in their past glorious days, they still have the same strong will and the same heroic spirit to go on struggling and seeking new knowledge until the end of their life. his undying heroic spirit is admirable, indeed.5.“I repeat,/ The Count your master?s known mu nificence/ Is ample warrant that nojust pretense/ Of mine for dowry will be disallowed; / Though his fair daughter?s self, as I avowed/ As starting, is my object.”Reference: These lines are taken from Robert Browning?s “My Last Duchess”. The main idea is that even though, as I said at the very beginning, my real interest in the marriage is his beautiful daughter (it should be his niece) herself, my claim of the money and property that must come with the bride can?t be refused by your master, the Count, because he is such a rich man. The statement reveals the Duke?s unashamed greediness for wealth. From his word, the reader can easily come to the conclusion that his real purpose of the second marriage is not for love, but for money. The marriage is conditioned by his demand for profit. The sacred marriage between people has been commercialized by him.。
