    M. A. (Previous) EXAMINATION, 2021
    ENGLISH
    Paper Second
    (Drama)
    Time : Three Hours
    Maximum Marks : 100
    Note : Attempt questions are compulsory.

    1. Explain with reference to context any five of the


    following passages not exceeding 250 words.
    (a) Faustus, these books, they wit, and our experience,
    shall make all nations to canonize us.
    As Indians Moors obey their Spanish lords,
    So shall the spirits of every element
    Be always serviceable to us three;
    (b) I charge thee to return and change thy
    Thou art too ugly to attend on me, shape,
    Go, and return an old Franciscan friar;
    that holy shape becomes a devil best.

    P. T. O.
    [2] ED–2302

    (c) Now, Faustus, must


    Thou needs by damned, and canst thou not be saved!
    What boots it, then, to think of God or heaven ?
    Away with such vain fancies, and despair:
    Despair in God and trust in Belzebub!
    (d) The spirit that I have seen
    May be a devil i and the devil hath power,
    To assume a pleasing shape; yea and perhaps
    Out of my weakness and my melencholy,
    As he is very potent with such spirits,
    Abuses me to damn me.
    (c) To be or not to be – that is the question
    Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer,
    The slings and arrows of Outrageous fortune
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
    And by opposing and them ?
    (d) O what a noble mind is here overthrown!
    The courtier‟s, scholar‟s, eye, tongue, sword
    The expectancy and rose of the fair state.
    The glass of fashion and the mould of form.
    (e) O Hamlet, speak no more!
    Thou turn‟st mine eyes into my very soul;
    And there I see such black and grained spots
    As will not leave their tinct.
    [3] ED–2302

    (f) O! this is the poison of deep grief; it springs


    All from her father‟s death,
    O Gertrude, Gertrude!
    When sorrows come, they come not single spies
    But in battalions.
    (g) Mad as the sea and wind, when both contend
    which is the Mightier. In his lawless fit‟
    Behind the arras hearing something stir,
    Whips out his rapier, cries, rat, a rat!
    And, in this Brainish apprehensions kills the unseen
    good old Man.
    (h) Here she come in faith full sail, with
    her fan spread and streamers out
    and a shoal of fools for tenders.
    Ha, no, I cry her mercy!
    (i) Oh, I ask your pardon for that – one‟s
    cruelty in one‟s power, and when
    one parts with one‟s cruelty, one
    parts with one‟s power and when
    one has parted with that, I fancy
    one‟s old and ugly.
    (j) A fellow that lives in a windmill
    has not a more whimsical dwelling
    than the heart of a man that is
    lodged in a woman. There is no
    point of the compass to which they
    cannot turn and by which they
    are not turned for motion not
    method is their occupation.
