our sufferings.
4No, no! To die is not
to sleep. Perhaps to die is to dream. In the
sleep of death both good dreams and bad
dreams may come.

us hesitate.

full of such ba

wrong and the insolence(

活下去还是不活，这是个问题；
要做到高贵，究竟该忍气吞声
来容受狂暴的命运矢石交攻击呢，
还是该挺身反抗无边的苦恼，
扫它个干净？死，就是睡眠
——
就这样；而如果睡眠就等于了结了
心痛以及千百种身体要担受的
皮痛肉痛，那该是
天大的好事，
正求之不得啊！死，就是睡眠；
睡眠也许要做梦，这就麻烦了！
我们一旦摆脱了尘世的牵缠
2
在死的睡眠里还会做些什么梦，
一想到就不能不踌躇。这一点顾虑
正好使灾难变成了长期的折磨。
谁甘心忍受人世的鞭挞和嘲弄，
忍受压迫者虐待、傲慢者凌辱，
忍受失恋的痛苦、法庭的拖延、
衙门的横暴、做埋头苦干的大才
受座位的小人一脚踢出去，
如果他只消自己来使一下尖刀
就可以得到解脱啊？谁甘心挑担子，
拖着疲累的生命，呻吟，流汗，
要不
是怕一死就去了没有人回来的那个从未发现的国土，怕那
还不知会怎样，因此意志动摇了
，
因此就宁愿忍受目前的灾殃，
而不愿投奔另一些未知的苦难？
这样子，顾虑使我们都成了懦夫，
也就这样了，决断决行的本色
蒙上了惨白的一层思虑的病容；
本可以轰轰烈烈的大作大为，
由于这一点想不通，就出了别扭，
失去了行动的名份。

miseries physically and spiritually.
4.
What is death compared to? What make

It
is the mysterious feature of death that confuses

Too much thoughts weaken one?s
resolution and will,

delayed.

internal conflict that Hamlet is going through?
Hamlet is in a dilemma. What should he
do, take revenge on the

and
live with humiliation and suffering
in mind?
9. When, where and how should
he punish the murderer and bring
justice back to the world? Give your
personal ideas.

the
shock
of
a
personal
wrong
to
an
awakening
of
his
great
responsibility in reforming the world as a whole.
But to realize his ideal in his own
time was beyond him.
Thus, this is the
cause of Hamlet’s profound melancholy and
his delay in revenge.
So his
profound melancholy shows the crisis of humanism,
at
the
end
of
the
16th
and
the
beginning
of
the
17th
centuries.

First
person perspective, distant view to closer
greetings, setting and
inner moments of
Jane
First Person (Central Narrator)
The
narrative
point-of-view
seems
pretty
straightforward
here:
our
protagonist, Jane Eyre, tells us her
own story in a novel called
Jane
Eyre
.
It’s
written
in
the
first
person,
and
the
central
character
is
doing the talking (or maybe writing).
But Jane is
–
well, not
exactly
an unreliable narrator (in
fact, she pays a lot of attention to giving us
accurate detail),
but
sometimes you
have to read between the
lines
.
Jane’s pretty good at
telling us what’s going on around her, but not
always too good at telling us what’s
going on in her head.

On the one hand, R was driven by his
curiosity to find out one-year
absence
of Jane, on
the other, R was irritated,
and trying to smooth
away
his
outrage
and
at
the
same
time
R
was
jealous
of
Jane’s
encounter in the Rivers, showing R’s
strong emotional attachment t
o
Jane by ―seemingly
urging
Jane
to
marry
Rivers.‖ Rochester’s way
of
confession with interval of intentionally
irritating Jane to show to
R’s grief,
madness, remorse without Jane.

Rochester,
in
the
situation
of
being
cared
and
comforted,
he
was
humble,
self-consciousness,
self-critical

a

as
well
the
reluctance
to

Jane.
R’s

of
demanding
Jane
too
much,
conversely
a
way
to
say:
―I
love
you,
Jane.
Loving you too much to let you go off
m
y sight.‖
Personally: Rochester wants to be
reassured and convinced.
Personally: R aggressive and arbitrary,
dominating exclusively in his
love for
Jane.
Spontaneously
Rochester let out the volcanic flow of his
attachment
to Jane, from suffering from
once losing Jane, being too arrogant and
aggressive
to
now
his
fortunate
regaining
Jane
at
his
side.

Expressing
his

his
sullenness,

his

he

Jane
in
his
life
time) and
his desolation, afflicated state of
mind, all demonstrated,

an

Rochester,
physically depended on Jane
for
his blindness and daily
care,
mentally
Jane
turned
out
to
be
the
winner
of
equality
with
Rochester:
aspiration
for
equal
love,
final
search
for
ultimate success in marriage; also,
Rochester, equally humble
and modest, a
perfect pair enjoying the mutual understanding
and true love through all the ups and
downs.
Author: pure independent lady
Tone
Transparent
Because there is so much
autobiographical material in
Jane
Eyre
, it’s
often difficult
to separate Charlotte Bront?’s authorial tone from
the
narrative
style
of
her
protagonist.
Often
the
author’s
voice
and
attitude
seem
to
get
caught
up
in
the
story,
making
it
more
like
a
8
memoir than a
novel. We’re calling this a
we
seem
to
be
looking
straight
through
the
author’s
personality
at
the first-person
narrator.
Writing Style
You
don’t
have
to
read
very
far
in
Jane
Eyre
to
notice
that
the
syntax and style of
the
sentences are complex; phrases and clauses
are
elaborately
interwoven,
but
still
feel
balanced
and
exact.
For
example, at
the very
beginning of the
novel Jane tells us
tha
t she’s
glad
she
can’t
take
a
walk
with
her
cousins:
never
liked
long
walks,
especially
on
chilly
afternoons:
dreadful
to
me
was
the
coming
home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and
toes, and a
heart saddened by the
chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by
the
consciousness
of
my
physical
inferiority
to
Eliza,
John,
and
Georgiana Reed
saying,
never
liked
long
walks.
I
hate
coming
home
in
the
dark
and
having
cold
fingers
and
toes,
and
I
hate
getting
yelled
at
and
feeling pathetic
compared to
my cousins.
But
Jane’s sentences are
refined;
we
can
tell
that
she’s
educated,
that
she
never
over-
simplifies
her
ideas,
and
that
she
likes
to
give
us
a
series
of
ideas
in
an
interconnected
web,
instead
of
a
group
of
short
statements.

Even

like

More
situations in the story: e.g.
Dickens
creates a universe of darkness, such that whenever
there
is any light (whether from the
sun or from some other artificial
source), we sit up right away and pay
attention.
On the marshes
,
Joe’s forge is like a
beacon
of warmth and light that bleeds out
onto the marshes.
It
almost reminds us of a lighthouse,
serving
to
guide
Pip
along.
Similarly,
Miss
Havisham’s
house
is
completely dark inside,
and the only way Pip gets
around is by
following
the
candle-bearing
Estella.
There

other
moments

Estella,
whose

often
described
as
bright and radiant. This confuses us,
because we usually
associate light with
the good and darkness with the bad,

Estella

Pip’s
life.
