8. “The door of the jail being flung open from within, there appeared, in the first place, like a
black shadow emerging into sunshine, the grim and gristly presence of the town-beadle, with a
sword by his side, and his staff of office in his hand. This personage prefigured and represented
in his aspect the whole dismal severity of the Puritanic code of law, which it was his business to
administer in its final and closest application to the offender. Stretching forth the official staff in
his left hand, he laid his right upon the shoulder of a young woman, whom he thus drew forward,
until, on the threshold of the prison-door, she repelled him, by an action marked with natural
dignity and force of character, and stepped into the open air as if by her own free will. She bore
in her arms a child, a baby of some three months old, who winked and turned aside its little face
from the too vivid light of day; because its existence, heretofore, had brought it acquaintance
only with the grey twilight of a dungeon, or other darksome apartment of the prison.”
9. “Almost five thousand years agone, there were Pilgrims walking to the Cœlestial City, as
these two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their Companions,
perceiving by the path that the Pilgrims made, that their way to the City lay through this Town of
Vanity, they contrived here to set up a Fair; a Fair wherein should be sold all sorts of Vanity, and
that it should last all the year long.”
10. “The Harivansa says, „An abode without birds is like a meat without seasoning.‟ Such was
not my abode, for I found myself suddenly neighbor to the birds; not by having imprisoned one,
but having caged myself near them.”
II. Explain FOUR of the following literary terms in about 50 words for each. (20 points)
1. English Renaissance
2. Allegory
3. Satire
4. Enlightenment
