試題 :
I. Identify the speakers of these passages.(20%)
------------------------------------------------
1. "All I know is that the hours are long, under these conditions, and
constrain us to beguile them with proceedings which –how shall I say–
which may at first sight seem reasonable, until they become a habit. You
may say it is to prevent our reason from foundering. No doubt. But has it
not long been straying in the night without end of the abyssal depths?
That's what I sometimes wonder. You follow my reasoning?"
2. "I had a unique touch…They came up to me and they said they were grateful.
Champagne we had that night, the lot. (Pause) My father nearly came down
to hear me. Well, I dropped him a card, anyway. But I don"t think he could
make it. No, I – I lost the address, that was it. ... Then after that,
you know what they did? They carved me up. Carved me up."
3. "What do you think, I'm a self-made man? No! I sat where I was told to sit.
I kept my eye on the ball. School? Don't talk to me about school. Top in
all subjects. And for why? Because I'm telling you, I'm telling you, follow
my line? Follow my mental? Learn by heart. Never write down a thing. And
don't go too near the water.And you'll find-that what I say is true. Because
I believe that the world..."
4. "I'd had enough, I was mad, I hate the bastards. I come out my front door
that morning and shout till my neighbors come out and I said, "Come on,
we're going where the evil come from and pay the bastards out."
5. "We've all come a long way. To our courage and the way we changed our lives
and our extraordinary achievements."
II. Discuss the following topics:(80%)
--------------------------------------
1. Describe some common features of the absurdist theatre and how it is
manifested in 'Waiting for Godot.'
2. Describe the "comedy of menace" in the context of 'The Birthday Party.'
3. Discuss feminism and socialism in 'Top Girls.' How does Caryl Churchill
criticize or portray these themes? Is the whole play in fact a backlash
against feminism?
4.(這邊有6~7題給學生選，如：
◎ Discuss the theme of the victim/victimizer in 'The Birthday Party;
◎ Discuss the absence of men and Howard Kidd's presence in 'Top Girls';
◎ Discuss the concept of tragicomedy in 'Waiting for Godot';
◎ Discuss the pseudo-couple relationships in 'Waiting for Godot,' such as
Pozzo/Lucky, Didi/Gogo, the Boy/Godot
其他我忘記了，如果有同學記得請幫我補上!)
-----
註：由於考試完要把試題交回去，所以這全部是原PO憑印象打出來的，
ID題應該是沒有問題，不過Essay部分就是有點rephrase，但是意思一樣，不外乎就
是在考comedy of menace、theatre of the absurd、feminism and socialism
等觀念，
如果有其他同學對第四大題的其他題目有印象，請幫我補充~
試題如有有其他疏漏也歡迎同學不吝指出，謝謝!!
