Question: 5

 

Those examples of poetic justice that occur in medieval and Elizabethan literature, and that

seem so

satisfying, have encouraged a whole school of twentieth-century scholars to "find" further examples.

In

fact, these scholars have merely forced victimized character into a moral framework by which the

injustices inflicted on them are, somehow or other, justified. Such scholars deny that the sufferers in

a

tragedy are innocent; they blame the victims themselves for their tragic fates. Any misdoing is

enough to

subject a character to critical whips. Thus, there are long essays about the misdemeanors of

Webster's

Duchess of Malfi, who defined her brothers, and he behavior of Shakespeare's Desdemona, who

disobeyed her father.

Yet it should be remembered that the Renaissance writer Matteo Bandello strongly protests the

injustice

of the severe penalties issued to women for acts of disobedience that men could, and did, commit

with

virtual impunity. And Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Webster often enlist their readers on the side of

their

tragic heroines by describing injustices so cruel that readers cannot but join in protest. By portraying

Griselda, in the Clerk's Tale, as a meek, gentle victim who does not criticize, much less rebel against

the

prosecutor, her husband Waltter, Chaucer incites readers to espouse Griselda's cause against

Walter's

oppression. Thus, efforts to supply historical and theological rationalization for Walter's persecutions

tend

to turn Chaucer's fable upside down, to deny its most obvious effect on reader's sympathies.

Similarly, to

assert that Webster's Duchess deserved torture and death because she chose to marry the man she

loved and to bear their children is, in effect to join forces with her tyrannical brothers, and so to

confound

the operation of poetic justice, of which readers should approve, with precisely those examples of

social

injustice that Webster does everything in his power to make readers condemn. Indeed. Webster has

his

heroin so heroically lead the resistance to tyranny that she may well in spire members of the

audience to

imaginatively join forces with her against the cruelty and hypocritical morality of her brothers.

Thus Chaucer and Webster, in their different ways, attack injustice, argue on behalf of the victims,

and

prosecute the persecutors. Their readers serve them as a court of appeal that remains free to rule, as

the

evidence requires, and as common humanity requires, in favor of the innocent and injured parties.

For, to

paraphrase the noted eighteenth-century scholar, Samuel Johnson, despite all the refinements of

subtlety

and the dogmatism of learning, it is by the common sense and compassion of readers who are

uncorrupted by the characters and situations in mereval and Dlizabetahn literature, as in any other

literature, can best be judged.

It can be interred from the passage that Woodrow Wilson's idea's about the economic market

 

A. encouraged those who "make the system work"

B. perpetuated traditional legends about America

C. revealed the prejudices of a man born wealthy

D. foreshadowed the stock market crash of 1929

E. began a tradition of presidential proclamations on economics

 

Answer: B
