Can you please check the following questions as I need to prepare them for tomorrow. Thank you very much in advance.
1) Examine the main features of Queen Victoria's reign and its contributions to the shaping of modern Great Britain.
2) Explain how Catherine describes her love for Edgar in Chapter 9 of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights". In what way is it different from her love for Heathcliff?
3) Analyse Wuthering Height's narrative structure. Are the novel's narrators trustworthy?
4) Briefly summarise the role of women (or woman's role?) in the conventional society of Jane Austen's day. Then describe the character of Elizabeth pointing out what sets her apart from her other sisters.
5) Discuss the theme of love and marriage as emerges (?) from Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice".
All is great -- but in 5, it should be -- as it emerges . . .
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with these questions. Here are some explanations on how to approach each question:
1) To examine the main features of Queen Victoria's reign and its contributions to the shaping of modern Great Britain, you can start by researching Queen Victoria's reign as a monarch. Look for key events, policies, and reforms that occurred during her reign, such as the Industrial Revolution, the growth of the British Empire, and the rise of constitutional monarchy. Pay attention to how these developments contributed to shaping modern Great Britain.
2) To explain how Catherine describes her love for Edgar in Chapter 9 of "Wuthering Heights" and compare it to her love for Heathcliff, you'll need to read Chapter 9 of Emily Bronte's novel. Pay close attention to Catherine's words and actions as she expresses her love for Edgar. Look for specific quotes or passages that highlight the differences between her love for Edgar and her love for Heathcliff. Consider factors such as societal expectations, social class, and personal desires.
3) To analyze "Wuthering Heights" narrative structure and determine if the novel's narrators are trustworthy, you should first familiarize yourself with the different narrators in the book. Pay attention to their perspectives, biases, and motivations. Look for inconsistencies, contradictions, or unreliable details in their narration that may affect their credibility. It would be helpful to make notes on each narrator's reliability and analyze how their narratives shape the overall story.
4) To briefly summarize the role of women in the conventional society of Jane Austen's day and describe the character of Elizabeth Bennet, you'll need to research the social norms and expectations placed on women during that time period. Focus on themes like marriage, social status, and gender roles. Then, look for specific instances in Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" that reflect these societal expectations. In your summary, highlight the limitations and restrictions placed on women and how these factors influence the choices they make. Regarding Elizabeth Bennet, identify the qualities that make her stand out from her sisters and illustrate how she challenges or subverts societal norms.
5) To discuss the theme of love and marriage in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", you'll need to analyze the various relationships depicted in the novel. Look for examples of love and marriage, both successful and unsuccessful, and consider how they are portrayed. Examine the expectations and social pressures surrounding love and marriage during the time period. Pay attention to the characters' motivations and attitudes towards marriage, and how these attitudes influence their choices and relationships.
