She DweltAmong The Untrodden Ways

William Wordsworth

She dweltamong the untrodden ways

Beside thesprings of Dove,

A maid whomthere were none to praise

And veryfew to love:

A violet bya mossy stone

Half hiddenfrom the eye!

Fair as astar, when only one

Is shiningin the sky.

She lived unknown,and few could know

When Lucyceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and oh,

The difference to me!

What type of sonnet is illustrated Milton’s poem “When I Consider How MyLight Is Spent?

When I ConsiderHow My Light Is Spent

 When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent o serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest He returning chide; “Doth God exact day-labor, light denied? ”I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need Either man’s work or His own gifts. Who best Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His stateIs kingly: thousands at His bidding speed, And post o’er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait.”

Proverbs are hard to define, but one could do worse than the pithy definition offered by an 18^th-century British statesman, Lord John Russell. A proverb, Russell is said to have remarked at breakfast, is “one man’s wit and all men’s wisdom.” Proverbs have been identified in all the world’s spoken languages, and– unlike Lord Russell’s adage – they are almost always anonymous. Interestingly, similar sayings seem to have developed independently in many parts of the world. For example, the English saying, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” has counterparts in Romania, Spain, and Iceland.

Which of the following best expresses the author’s attitude toward Lord Russell’s definition of a proverb?

When the parent asks the teacher what the children are doing, the teacher is likely to explain that ___.

If a teacher uses only basal readers for teachings her students to read, she is most likely believes in _____.

What is even more troublesome is disagreement among critics about just what standards are to be applied. Two “straight” readers, seeing the ghosts as real and the story as an attempt to “turn the screws” of horror as thrillingly as possible, might flatly disagree with each other about whether the literary experience of thrilling horror is good or bad for “us,” or for a given immature reader, or for a former governess now incarcerated in a mental institution.

            Because of all this variety, we have to ask our questions as if we were dealing not with one The Turn of the Screw but many different ones.

What literary theory or approach is shown in the following passage?

Not only James’s governess fit the classic profile of the female sexual hysteric, she also experiences the “hysterical fit” observed by turn-of-the-century clinicians. That her first hallucination precipitates a “nervous explosion” of some intensity is clear from her own account. Like that of the classic hysteric, her “mental activity...is split up, and only a part of it is conscious.” Her initial fantasy of her handsome employer is conscious, but his transformation into a figure embodying her fear of sexuality is generated by deep-rooted unconscious inhibitions.
