In the hall tne monster killed many ministers and the King asked Beowulf to fight with Grendel ,thus their long-time fight began. Beowulf had gone through many places and dangerous situations in chasing the and beat the monster.3.Shakespeare is a great _dramatist_________ living in the ____Elizabethan__________ period.Can you list out four famous tragedies and four comedies of Shakespeare?Tragedies: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, and King LearComedies: Midsummer Night’s Dream, Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, and Twelfth Nights4.Where does the sentence “to be or not to be, that is a question”come from?

Shelly______________. Please resent your viewon the “west wind” in the ode.9.Match the writers with their masterpiece.10. Jane Eyre in your eyes.Jane Eyre was a girl who pursued freedom and equality, whose unusual thought and behavior violated women’s ethics at that time, which had become the apotheosis of women who strived for liberty. When we think of the girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament, but a huge charm of personality.She had some good virtues that really affect me.Although she experienced lots of difficulties and hardships in the process of growing up, she was fearless, always keeps her chin up and insists on pursuing freedom and equality. Her aunt felt disgust of her, though she was a liar and tried to drive her away. Jane spoke directly when she left, “If I was a liar, I would say I loved you. But I don’t---I hate you…If anyone asks how you treated me, I will tell them the truth…”Her goodness also touched me. She grew in strength. She distinguished herself at Lowood School because of her hard work and strong intellectual abilities. She went to teach in Thronfield to be independent. After so many ups and downs, she still loved and stayed with Rochester even when he lost arms and blinded in eyes. When she was a child, she was isolated, powerless, lived with her aunt and cousins who dislike her. At last, her aunt confessed all the evils she had done to her in the past, she forgave her aunt even if her aunt still didn’t like her.From of old, women have the image of effeminacy, painfulness and they look after the protection of men. While Jane Eyre is independent and tough, she represents the heroic spirit of women. To end with, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. She is an unforgettable role in literary history, and she will always has a great influence on the liberty of women, even on the liberty of the world.。
