1.3 随堂测验
1、填空题：
Terminology: bathos
答案: 【 a figure of speech employed by writers to make a sudden change from a serious or great subject or feeling to something silly or trivial】
2、填空题：
Name at least one reason why the first sentence of Pride and Prejudice has been regarded as one of the top ten great beginnings of novels?
答案: 【 First of all, the novelist has employed a figure of speech here, that is, bathos. The unexpected strong contrast makes people burst into laughter.
Secondly, the two commas cause the reader to read the sentence with patience, which certainly makes him believe the narrator begins her story with confidence and composure. As a matter of fact, they add comic effect to the use of bathos.
Thirdly, the author has chosen to use ‘want’ as a noun, not a verb,for ‘I want a wife’ sounds quite subjective while ‘in want of a wife’, objective.
The last point is the second use of irony. After he finishes the novel, the reader will find that it is actually all about husband hunting. In fact, the point the novel has conveyed is that it is a single young lady in possession of a small fortune, must be in want of a wealthy husband.
It is just the opposite to the point he gets in the beginning of the story.】
