6）Biblical allusion. Parallel to phra the first, when Abraham and her where on the carriage. Similar to the biblical story where Abraham was to sacrifice his son, the family sacrificed Tess.
3. Comment on this ntence:“Justice’ was done,and the President of the lmmortals(in Aeschyleanphra )had ended his sport with Tess”.In what n is Tess’ story tragic?
(1)Tess is a typical victim of the society. Poverty of the family, inhumanity, injustice and hypocrisy of the society decide her tragedy. The two men— the one who takes away her virginity and purity, the other who takes away her love but derts her on the very weding night— though apparent rivals, join their forces in bringing about her final destruction.

s is a personal tragedy; it can also be a social one.(2)The tragic fate of Tess and her family was not that of an individual family, but it was symbolic of the disintegration of the English peasantry--- a process which had reached its final and tragic stage at the end of 19th century
铺的读音James Joyce Araby P171
1.What is the significance of the title of the story?
1. Araby is “a splendid bazaar” where Mangan’s sister recommends the boy to go. Thereafter the boy’s imagination izes upon the name Araby and invests its syllables with “an Eastern enchantment” in which his “soul luxuriates”
2. Araby becomes a place where his soul can find the mystical beauty lacking in his own mundane Church.
3. The boy feels a summons that has symbolic over-tones of a holy crusade.But when he arrives, Araby , the dream new world for the boy ,turned out to be “darkness” and “silence
”. His idealized vision of Araby is destroyed, along with his idealized vision of Mangan’s sister, and of love.
2.Chief qualities of the boy’s character?
The boy is a natural character with which to begin a book becau he posss so many qualities attractive to readers. First, he is nsitive — nsitive enough to experience a wide range of feelings in spite of his tender age, including apparently contradictory combinations like fear and longing (at the end of the story's first paragraph), anger and puzzlement (while falling asleep), and, especially, "a nsation of freedom" in respon to his mentor's passing that surpris him and us. "I found it strange," the narrator says, "that neither I nor the day emed in a mourning mood."
Second, he is intelligent — and not merely in the conventional n of the word. Sure, he is brainy enough to absorb much of the arcane information shared with him by the priest. (It makes n that he has grown into the articulate storyteller who shares the tale of Father Flynn's influence upon him.) But the protagonist of "The Sisters" also pos
ss an intuitive understanding of how other human beings feel, think, and act — emotional intelligence, you might call it.
It is no surpri that a boy so nsitive, so intelligent, would find himlf somewhat alienated from others — cut off, fundamentally, from his family and peers. He appears to lack altogether a connection with his uncle, much less Old Cotter, and it is said that he rarely plays "with young lads of his own age." Even when he is in the company of his aunt and the priest's sisters near story's end, the reader's main n of the boy is that he is alone.南瓜的功效与作用
