ASSIGNMENT
BRITISH LITERATURE
Programme: BAG/2021/2022
Course Code: BEGC 133
Max. Marks: 100
Answer all the questions in this assignment.
SECTION A
I Explain the following passages with reference to the context.
1. “I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on th’ other.”
2. “Out, damned spot: out I say!
One, Two: Why then ’tis Time to do’t.
Hell is murky. Fie,
My Lord, fie: a Soldier, and affear’d?
What need we fear? Who knows it,
When none can call our Power to accompt”?
3. “How strange it is to be talked to in such a way! You know, I’ve
always gone on like that. I mean the noble attitude and the thrilling
voice. I did it when I was a tiny child to my nurse. She believed in
it. I do it before my parents. They believe in it.”
4. “Thou hast betray’d thy nature and thy name,
Not rendering true answer, as beseem’d
Thy fealty, nor like a noble knight:
For surer sign had follow’d, either hand,
Or voice, or else a motion of the mere.”

a. Thomas Hardy and the fictional region of Wessex.
b. Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King” and the Arthurian Legend.

d. The ‘Victorian Conflict’ as expressed in the poems of Tennyson.
III. Write short essays on the following: 10×2=20
