In what language were they written? - Romance: The term romance comes from the Anglo-Norman and Old French words romanz, which mean "a story of chivalry and love The term "romance" is widely used to describe romantic love." Romance is a genre in which stories and traditions about duty, courage, daring, wars, and damsels in distress are used to emphasize chivalry and courtly love As previously said, romance is a genre of literature that includes idealized love, chivalry, obsessive attachment to someone or an idea and mysterious adventures - Fabliaux is a short, humorous, and typically dirty poem They were popular in French poetry throughout the 12th and 13th centuries, and they were first used in English a century later The poetic form in French is usually always in octosyllabic couplets, while it varies in English The topics are mostly around home humour with sexual innuendo of the merchant and middle classes Although some of the themes are drawn from eastern cultures, many of them have a clear French basis or connection - Bestiaria: Bestiary is elaborately illustrated and describes animals They also included a moral lesson in their work and represented the writer's Christian views of these animals were wholly fantastical and incorrect, mostly due to the fact that the Word of God impacted the writer's interpretation of them In bestiaries, readers may expect to see numerous allusions to Christian art and religion PART 2: Working on the given literary works ( 40 points) Students will be given a literary works as follows: William Shakespeare: Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark Collect other researchers’ viewpoints and studies about the literary works Analyze the related historical background affecting the author’s writing art and ideas Analyze the related literary trends and background affecting the author’s writing art and ideas Identify the author’s message (intentions), his literary talents and give comments Identify the author’s styles of writing together with his/ her strong and weak points  Identify the influences of the literary works on the other aspects of society, culture and reader’s viewpoints and psychology (the educational values) Identify the significance, the fame or the cultural typical identities of the literary works Anwer: In My Opinion, The story of Hamlet is around a Danish prince who wants to kill his uncle because of his father dead He used plenty of tactics to this smoothly, including pretending insanity, staging a play portraying his father's death, and eventually stabbing him and forcing him to swallow poison, death, duty, honour, deceit, revenge, ambition, sexism, homoeroticism, language, and even the core of theatre itself I have come to marvel at the majesty of the finest of play Because no character has been interpreted in so many various ways Hamlet has taught me a lot about other people since no other character has been interpreted in so many different ways The profound majesty of the to be or not to be soliloquy, as well as the ghost element, have always struck me Someone did return from the afterlife to tell the tale What happened here? The author needed the ghost to advance the plot, but he could not it without addressing one of humanity's most serious issues? When compared to using the same energy on creative effort, the value of vengeance is clearly evident in 'Hamlet,' as exemplified by Pericles (495–429 BC) The entire play focuses on characters seeking vengeance on one another for the wrongs done to them All of them are successful in the end Despite the fact that Hamlet and Gandhi lived thousands of years apart, they all die, proving Gandhi true when he said, "An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind." Rather than seeking vengeance on the militarily weak Spartans, he chose to employ his people by creating the Acropolis, which, while in ruins, still stands as a symbol of modern Athens The same problem befalls Hamlet He is just concerned about catching Claudius at The Mousetrap and is careless with the proof he obtains After making what appears to be a threat to Claudius, he practically dances over the "evidence" that does not actually indicate that his uncle did anything illegal his isn't the first time Hamlet has experimented with this concept Hamlet's famous soliloquy, "To be, or not to be " has a naive interpretation: Hamlet is thinking about suicide He is obviously thinking about death, but not just suicide, and he is not fixated on suicide Despite the first statement, he is making a decision that isn't either/or In the lecture, he tries to strike a balance between the difficulties of life in general, and his own existence in particular, and the known and unknown aspects of death Because Hamlet's persona has fascinated subsequent generations, the play has prompted more debate, performances, and research than any other in world theatrical history Shakespeare's Hamlet is a depressing drama set in the Danish kingdom The play's plot revolves around vengeance Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, killed his brother King Hamlet, stole the throne, and married Hamlet's mother As a result of this, many people are killed Hamlet could not face his uncle about the facts of his father's murder because his wrath had engulfed him He pretended to be insane, rejected his love, and then murdered her father While Shakespeare's plays were obviously entertaining, they typically had a message or at least an overall theme Obviously, ambition destroyed Macbeth and that Lear's ego brought him down Every aspect of the play, including those previously dismissed as extraneous by critics, contributes to its essential value However, it is vital that we comprehend the message since it is the same lesson that sages and mystics of the past have long endeavored to impress on suffering humanity Shakespeare wrote Hamlet to deliver a powerful message to humanity This is definitely true because each scene in each act of Hamlet functions as a cohesive entity to express this point Shakespeare communicates the information in an unexpected manner, emotionally captivating us and allowing us to quickly experience its actuality Thus, Hamlet is a mystery play that is performed as a form of initiation, an experienced introduction to the underlying truths that lurk within our own depths PART 3: Taking Online Oral Test (30 points) The student when asked has to present briefly about the process of conducting the assignment The teacher and the student will discuss the assignment in contents, word choice, literary styles, methods of writing, cultural factors, meanings, viewpoints, message and genres The student may be asked to provide some positive or negative comments about the related literary works Right structures and good, logical formats : ( 10 points) ... together with his/ her strong and weak points  Identify the influences of the literary works on the other aspects of society, culture and reader’s viewpoints and psychology (the educational... seeking vengeance on one another for the wrongs done to them All of them are successful in the end Despite the fact that Hamlet and Gandhi lived thousands of years apart, they all die, proving Gandhi... always struck me Someone did return from the afterlife to tell the tale What happened here?
