6. Lit Conventions - $500 • Name and analyze the significance of a major symbol in each of the four works: P&P, TTL, The Guide, and NLMG. • Answers will vary—Matheny will judge the validity of the response.

7. P&P - $100 • “She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I’m in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men” (Austen 12). • Indirect characterization of Darcy as prideful—he holds himself too highly to dance with Elizabeth. Austen doesn’t include the word “pride” but it is still part of the motif of prideful characterization of Darcy. There is a negative tone towards his pride and demeanor. Relates themes of the superiority of status and money

8. P&P - $200 • “Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance” (Austen 25). • Charlotte Lucas: presents a practical, businesslike approach to marriage…devoid of romantic affections or hopes; cynical tone…her physical assets and lack of beauty does not give her the luxuries of romance, as Elizabeth can afford . Exaggeration in “entirely”…sees no other reality or opportunity…Presents Charlotte as a foil to Elizabeth’s passionate and romantic character.

9. P&P - $300 • “She grew absolutely ashamed of herself. Of neither Darcy nor Wickham could she think without feeling she had been blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd” (Austen 251). • Thinking versusfeeling/Trying to sort out “thinking” - her reasoning, judgement, logic/Feeling - instinct, emotional shift Listing emotions shows confliction, inner turmoil. Shows a drastic shift from Elizabeth’s previous confidence--“absolutely ashamed”, “blind, partial, prejudiced, absurd”--shows humility in admitting her mistakes

10. P&P - $400 • “His affection for her soon sunk into indifference: hers lasted a little longer; and, in spite of her youth and her manners, she retained all the claims to reputation which her marriage had given her” (Austen 374). • This quote alludes to the introductory quote: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” Both Lydia and Wickham fulfilled this prophecy, yet neither in the end were happy. Austen depicts the reality of marriage, leaving a negative disappointing tone at the end of the book. This reflects how any marriage, arranged or not, ends in disappointments. This first statement reflects the opinions of society at the time, that marriage was the epitome of success, however Austen shows in conclusion that it is not the answer. Marriage does not solve problems and it does not rid any characters of their pride or prejudice completely. It is just another societal expectation that Austen critiques, expanding on its flaws.

11. P&P - $500 • “‘If Mr. Darcy is neither by honour nor inclination confined to his cousin, why is not he to make another choice? And if I am that choice, why may not I accept him?’ ‘Because honour, decorum, prudence, nay interest, forbid it’” (431). Questions pose a challenge - and a threat - to Lady Catherine’s tone of certainty—Use of “if” keeps things vague and hypothetical (Elizabeth’s way of protecting herself but still challenging Catherine) Repetition of honor - refers to the high respect or esteem you receive in the eyes of others--Lady Catherine is arguing that Darcy will lose his good standing in the eyes of the upper class if he chooses Elizabeth Contrasting tones: Elizabeth uses “if” and “why” to keep things less concrete and more casual, all theoretical questions. Lady Catherine uses “forbid” to stress her urgency and firm stance against this engagement

12. TTL - $100 • “‘But,’ said his father, stopping in front the drawing­room window, ‘it won’t be fine’” (Woolf 4). • This quote is the first introduction to Mr. Ramsay as he dashes James’s hopes about going to the lighthouse. It establishes him as practical and factual, but with no concern for other’s wishes and emotions.This scene as a whole establishes one of Woolf’s main themes throughout the book, the contrast between male sterility and female compassion and fertility

13. TTL - $200 • “He could see the white­washed rocks; the tower, stark and straight; he could see windows in it; he could even see washing spread on the rocks to dry. So that was the Lighthouse, was it? No, the other was also the Lighthouse. For nothing was simply one thing” (Woolf 186). • Upon arriving at the lighthouse, James realizes that it’s not the ideal, beautiful scene he had once envisioned. This is part of Woolf’s exploration of perspective ­ both people and landmarks can represent many things and be more than they seem. As James accepts the duality of the lighthouse, Lily is similarly considering the strengths and flaws of Mrs. Ramsay

14. TTL - $300 • “‘But how would it be, she thought, if neither of us did either of these things? So she sat there smiling” (Woolf 91) • At the dinner party, Lily reflects on social roles, wondering how it would be if she refused to speak with Tansley and relieve his awkwardness. Eventually, Mrs. Ramsay’s presence pressures her into doing so, but with this moment, Woolf foreshadows Lily’s ­ and the next generation’s ­ eventual defiance of traditional gender roles.

15. TTL - $400 • “With a sudden intensity, as if she saw it clear for a second, she drew a line there, in the centre. It was done, it was finished. Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my vision” (Woolf 209). • To The Lighthouse ends with the focus on Lily as she finally finishes her painting, symbolic of her freedom from her obligation to act the angel and provide sympathy to men. By drawing the final line in the center of the painting, a reference to her plans from the dinner party, she symbolically puts herself at the forefront of her life

16. TTL - $500 • “One wanted fifty pairs of eyes to see with, she reflected.” • In “The Lighthouse,” the final section of TTL, Woolf justifies her many narrative voices by making Lily reflect on the need for plurality of perspective to understand or artistically relate the real complexity of life.

17. The Guide - $100 • “This resolution gave him a peculiar strength…. ‘If by avoiding food I should help the trees bloom, and the grass grow, why not do it thoroughly?’ For the first time in his life he was making an earnest effort; for the first time he was learning the thrill of full application, outside money and love; for the first time he was doing a thing in which he was not personally invested” (Narayan 246) • Narayan demonstrates a partial transformation in Raju’s view of himself in the world as he undertakes a challenge for the greater good with no thought of future, personal benefit. Living in the moment for the good of his people allows Raju to act independently of his previous life. Narayan asserts how while the past might never vanish from one’s mind, one maintains control over one’s actions in the present—always with the potential for redemption.

18. The Guide - $200 • “Her art and her husband could not find a place in her thoughts at the same time; one drove the other out” (Narayan 126) • Narayan discusses the choice of the modern female between male-dominated tradition and liberal artistry. #lilybriscoe Narayan crafts Rosie as a character still in the midst of transforming herself into an independent artist, relying on Raju and his obsession with her physical beauty as a stepping stone to future solo success.

19. The Guide - $300 • “Raju felt like an actor who had come on the stage, and, while the audience waited, had no lines to utter or gestures to make. [...] ‘I have to play the part expected of me; there is no escape,’” (Narayan 37) • The ultimate irony is that although Raju is a Swami, a nearly divine figure with power and authority in his words, he is portrayed as an “actor,” who is controlled by the desires of the audience. Narayan is suggesting that Raju is not the one who is guilty of deceiving the people, rather, they are deceiving themselves through their expectations

20. The Guide - $400 • “I was slipping into a fool’s paradise. [...] The world outside Rosie seemed so unreal that it was possible for me to live on such an assumption.” (Narayan 126) • Narayan portrays Rosie as a distraction for Raju, symbolizing the distractions and temptations of western culture and concepts of wealth, influence and power. Those concepts eventually displaced the traditional values in Raju’s life, represented by his old house and his mother.

21. The Guide - $500 • “…If I have to pawn my last possession, I’ll do it to save you from jail. But once it’s over, leave me once for all; that’s all I ask. Forget me. Leave me to live or die, as I choose; that’s all.” (Narayan 176) • Narayan explores the role of women within relationships and their struggle to break free from societal roles. Women were always seen as supporters who were there to make life easier for the men. Rosie tries to be this woman, as she will do anything to help Raju out of jail. But we can also see her breaking away from her stereotypical role as she wants to separate herself from Raju and be her own person. She does not want to depend on a man anymore; she wants to be independent and live for herself.

22. NLMG - $100 • “Afterwards, when we discussed it, some of us were sure she was dying for someone to ask: ‘Why? Why is it so much worse for us?’ But no one did. I’ve often thought about that day, and I’m sure now, in the light of what happened later, that we only needed to ask and Miss Lucy would have told us all kinds of things. All it would have taken was just one more question about smoking” (Ishiguro 69) • Convention/Motif/Theme: unknown, fear of the unknown, victim of your own making, generational gap, self-delusion Ishiguro comments on how easy it is to blame a big institution—such as education or the government—for societal ignorance, but on some level, it’s society’s fault for not questioning a system that doesn’t make sense or doesn’t seem ethical. An individual’s ignorance cannot be blamed entirely on a single entity or institution.

23. NLMG - $200 • “Even then, it was mainly a nostalgia thing, and today, if I happen to get the tape out and look at it, it brings back memories of that afternoon in Norfolk every bit as much as it does our Hailsham days” (Ishiguro 173) • Conventions/Motifs/Themes: nonlinear narrative, nostalgia, memory, symbol of the tape, innocence. Ishiguro uses the tape to add to the tragic nature of Kathy’s character, which isn’t inherently the fact that she is a clone, but it is the her ignorance of how isolated her life is. Her entire life consists of three different “eras” so a small, seemingly insignificant outing to a small town blows up substantially in her mind.

24. NLMG - $300 • “It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you’ve made” (Ishiguro). • Motif of chess: Kathy sees her relationships, especially with Ruth, as a game of chess with every move thought out (foreshadowing to the fact that she is not the one playing the game, but is the pawn). Kathy’s characterization: Kathy focuses so much on relationships because that is all she has – she never gets to have a career or find out what she is really passionate about besides art

25. NLMG - $400 • “We’re modelled from trash. Junkies, prostitutes, winos, tramps” (Ishiguro). • Trash motif: the clones are like trash because they are just thrown to the side of society because people don’t want to know the truth…Juxtaposition with their art: shows their value despite the outside world not recognizing it, builds frustration, allowing Ishiguro to critique this culture…Clones represent marginalized groups in society, such as prostitutes, junkies, winos, tramps, etc. who are pushed off to the side because people don’t want to make direct contact with the ones that they have to marginalize to get what they want, because it makes people uncomfortable (Madame crying, spider motif). Hailsham closes because they don’t want the “lower class” to rise up above them.

26. NLMG - $500 • “Do I go too far?” (Ishiguro) • Rhetorical question: for Miss Emily but also for all of society, questioning if society has taken things too far. Seems to be the first time she questions the society she lives in, Ishiguro uses it to critique the lack of critical thinking when we look at scientific advancements. Vague language shows that Madame does not know how to stop what she started, affecting a hopeless mood.
