How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Q.1.a) Answer any four of the following in two sentences only
08 marks
1."Not on thy sole but on the soul, harsh jew, thou make'st thy knife keen." Identify the speaker of the quotation and explain the pun used as figure of speech in it.[2]
Answer
The speaker is Gratiano, Bassanio's friend, in the trial scene of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (Act IV, Scene i). Shylock is whetting his knife on the sole of his shoe, and has just answered Bassanio's question about why he does it so earnestly by saying, "To cut the forfeiture from that bankrupt there."
The pun is on "sole" and "soul", two words identical in sound and opposite in meaning. "Sole" is the leather under Shylock's shoe, on which the blade is being sharpened; "soul" is his spirit. Gratiano's point is that the knife is not being given its edge by the leather at all but by the man's own hardness of soul.
