ENG101

ENG101 Assignment Solution
Question 1:

The words that are used to express taste and preferences, to express decisions and choices, to criticize and evaluate, to advise, warn, persuade, praise, and encourage. Their function is to guide our own choices and those of other people by commending or prescribing. Typical examples are “good,” “right,” and “ought,” but any word, if used evaluatively, might count as a value word. Value words can be negative or positive. Judgments that contain value words are value judgments. Value words form the web of moral discourse, and the analysis of their implications and connections is one of the main jobs of moral philosophers, especially those concerned with meta-ethics.“The words with which moral philosophers have especially to do, which are usually called ‘value-words’, play many important parts.” similarly are the time relators like early late, past, present etcQuestion 2ParagraphThose 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” injustices examples. In fact, these scholars have merely protests victimized characters 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 enlist is enough to subject a character to critical whips. Yet it should be remembered that the Renaissance writer Matteo Bandello strongly forced the injustice of the severe misdoing issued to women for acts of disobedience that men could, and did, further with virtual impunity. Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Webster often commit their readers on the side of their tragic heroines by describing penalties so cruel that readers cannot but join in protest.
