What do you need in order to prepare for your SE?

Slide 1 - Carte mentale

There Grendel suffered a grevious hurt,
A wound in the shoulder, gaping and wide;
Sinews snapped and bone-joints broke,
And Beowulf gained the glory of battle.
Grendel, fated, fled to the fens,
To his joyless dwelling, sick unto death.
The stranger from afar, the stalwart and strong,
Had purged of evil (van kwaad gezuiverd) the hall of Hrothgar.
The token was clear when the bold in battle
Laid down the shoulder and dripping claw –
Grendel’s arm in the gabled (met ramen) hall!

Slide 3 - Quiz

To be, or not to be, that is the question: 
 
 Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
 
 The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
 
 Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 

And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep 
 
 No more; and by a sleep to say we end

JACK: Well, yes, I must admit I smoke. 

LADY BRACKNELL: 
 I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of 
 some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is. 
 How old are you? 
 
JACK: Twenty-nine. 

LADY BRACKNELL: 
 A very good age to be married at. I have always been of opinion 
 that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or 
 nothing. Which do you know?

Slide 7 - Quiz

Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
 
 And then thou must be damn'd perpetually!
 
 Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
 
That time may cease, and midnight never come;
 
 Fair Nature's eye, rise, rise again, and make
 
 Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
 
 A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
 
 That Faustus may repent and save his soul!

CATHERINE: A poor figure! Shame on you! The Serbs have Austrian officers 
 who are just as clever as the Russians; but we have beaten them 
 in every battle for all that. 

RAINA: Yes: I was only a prosaic little coward. Oh, to think that it was 
 all true! That Sergius is just as splendid and noble as he looks. 
That the world is really a glorious world for women who can see 
 its glory and men who can act its romance! What happiness! 
 What unspeakable fulfilment!

  JACK—(abruptly) Come to the point, Dad. 
  TOWNSEND—(confused) What? Eh? 
  JACK—(firmly) You didn't send Evelyn away in order that you might wax reminiscent; you know that, Dad. 
  TOWNSEND—(heaving a sigh of relief) You are quite right, I did not; but what I ought to speak about is such a deuced painful subject for both of us that I hardly dare speak of it—especially on your day of triumph when I should be the last one to bring up any unpleasantness.

 arrogant and full of malice. Or vague. She’s somewhere 
between the two. 

CLIFF: Why don’t you listen to that concert of yours? And don’t stand 
 behind me. That blooming droning on behind me gives me a
 funny feeling down the spine. 
 Jimmy gives his ears a twist and Cliff roars with pain.

 That hurt, you rotten sadist! (To Alison) I wish you’d kick his

on. Eat it up. It’ll do you good. 
 She goes to the sink, wipes a cup and saucer and brings them to the 
 table. 
 If you want to go out you might as well have something inside you. 
 Because you’ll feel it when you get out.

Slide 27 - Quiz

Which one is true?
A
In this play Wilde is not a bringer of serious messages and doesn’t bother with human emotions or moral matters. For this reason the title is ironic. ‘Earnest’ means ‘serious’. But there is absolutely nothing serious about the play. It is a farce, rather than anything else.
B
In this play Wilde is a bringer of serious messages and bothers with human emotions and moral matters. For this reason, the title is illustrative of the play’s content as ‘Earnest’ means ‘serious’. The play therefore discusses serious matters.
