UNIT IV

31. Analyze the structure of Northanger Abbey. Why do you think Austen chose to divide her

novel into two volumes?

32. Discuss the ending of Northanger Abbey. Did you think the marriage between Catherine

and Henry was inevitable? How does Austen describe their marriage?



34. In what ways does Catherine conform or fail to conform to the conventions of a typical

literary heroine?

35. Catherine's suspicions of Gothic evils turn out to be wrong, the fantasies of an

inexperienced, badly read adolescent--or do they? Is there actual evil in the novel (or do

the characters merely suffer from mutual illusions and misimpressions)? If there is real

evil, what is its nature, where does it lie, and what, if anything, is its connection with

Catherine's Gothic illusions?

36. Catherine is partly talked out of her Gothic fantasies by the kindly rationalism of Henry

Tilney? The source of Catherine's fantasies is fairly clear, but what is the source of

Henry's rationalism? Is it social convention? Is it the common-sense acceptance of the

real (and therefore the ordinary)? Can rationality also be heroic? For that matter, in the

long run, how rational is Henry's character? What are the appropriate limits of rationality

in general (and his in particular)?

37. Are the Thorpes thematically significant or even necessary to the plot? Are they merely

foils to set off Catherine and the Tilneys? Is it valid and useful to group the Thorpes as

characters? Do they share family resemblances? Does Jane Austen use the family as an

element of characterization and moral evaluation in the novel?

38. If families are important, what is the importance of relationships between generations in

the novel? Is the older generation authoritative? Is there a youth culture? (Does Jane

Austen see novel reading as the MTV of the 1790's?) If the stable realism of an older

generation restrains the illusions of youth, to what degree do the young expand and

develop the limitations of the old?

39. One way of looking at Northanger Abbey (related to the previous question) is to see it as

a novel of education, and in this light it appears as part of a tradition, going back to

Lennox's Female Quixote and Burney's Evelina, of novels dealing with the first

appearance of young women in society. Two obvious questions follow: (A) If Northanger

Abbey is part of a well established tradition, what gives the novel its liveliness in treating

its familiar theme? (B) If Northanger Abbey is a novel of education, what, in fact, does

Catherine learn, and what is the significance of the way she learns it?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

KASC- Englis

h (Unaid

ed)


And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

QUESTIONS

A) Where did that other road lead ?

B) What is the meaning of the final stanza?

C) What dilemma did the speaker face in the beginning?

D) Where did the road diverge?
