Answer 1

I haven't read this play. I gave you a couple of links when you posted these before, and I'll give you another that may actually be more helpful:

http://nfs.sparknotes.com/
Click on the title of the play you want, then click on the act and scene. You'll find original Shakespearean language on the left and a modern-day "translation" on the right.

Answer 2

Thank you very helpful

Answer 3

You're welcome!

Whoever decided to put that NFS website together is brilliant, IMO!! The translations really help students understand Shakespeare's language much better!

Answer 4

To verify the correctness of your answers, let's go through each question together:

1. Cardinal Wolsey's remark that he is "bound" to be charitable (lines 55-56) is a reference to his
A. vows as a priest
B. loyalty to the king
C. duties as a statesman
D. gentleman's code of honor

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the context of the lines. In the given lines, Cardinal Wolsey expresses his feeling of despising someone but is unable to act on it due to being "bound in charity against it." This suggests that his obligation to be charitable is tied to a specific aspect of his life. Considering the options, the most relevant connection is his vows as a priest. Therefore, your answer of A. vows as a priest is correct.

2. In lines 68 and 69, Cardinal Wolsey states that rather than blush from guilt upon hearing the charges against him, he would blush from
A. fear for himself
B. indignation for the king
C. regret for being careless
D. embarrassment for Surrey

To find the correct answer, we need to focus on Cardinal Wolsey's statement in the mentioned lines. He challenges his opponents to present their objections, stating that if he blushes, it would be due to something else. In this case, he specifically refers to seeing a nobleman lacking manners. Considering the options, the most appropriate answer would be D. embarrassment for Surrey, as Wolsey indicates that his blush would result from Surrey's lack of manners.

3. The Earl of Surrey's comment, "I had rather want those than my head" (line 70), is an indirect reference to the
A. fate of Wolsey
B. powerlessness of the king
C. emotional aspect of Wolsey
D. necessity for calm reasoning

To determine the correct answer, we need to examine the context of the given line. The Earl of Surrey states that he would rather lose certain things than lose his head, implying that the mentioned things are of lesser importance than his life. Considering the options, the most fitting answer would be A. fate of Wolsey, as losing one's head is a reference to execution or death, which connects to Wolsey's potential fate.

Based on the analysis, it appears that your answers for questions 1 and 3 are correct (A. vows as a priest and A. fate of Wolsey, respectively). However, for question 2, your answer of C. regret for being careless does not align with the context. The correct answer for question 2 is D. embarrassment for Surrey.
