enemy of the people questions & answers

Question 1. Mayor Peter Stockmann is a contrast to Dr. Thomas Stockmann. Justify. Answer: There are lots of good things you can say about Dr. Stockmann, the protagonist of ‘An Enemy of the People’.

Despite his troubles, he wishes to make the world a better place. Most importantly, the doctor is a man of principles willing to fight for justice no matter what it costs.

The Sign of the Four

The Sign of the Four begins rather controversially with Holmes engaging in the then-legal pastime of cocaine injections, much to Watson’s disapproval. Mary Morstan, a single young woman who desires Holmes’ advice, soon visits the two. Miss Morstan proceeds to explain that after her father disappeared under mysterious circumstances some ten years ago, she began receiving a large pearl in the mail at annual increments. Mary goes on to explain that she has received a letter instructing her to go, with the accompaniment of two friends, to Lyceum Theater. The letter itself hints that some injustice has been done to her. Holmes and Watson agree to accompany Miss Morstan, and it appears that Watson and Mary are attracted to one another. When the three journey to the Lyceum Theater, Holmes, Watson, and Mary are whisked away in a darkened carriage to a strange house. Within, they find an eccentric gentleman named Thaddeus Sholto. Sholto reveals that not only has Mary’s father died, but also she...

father returning home

Father Returning Home: about the poem Father Returning Home by Dilip Chitre is probably the most famous poem by this Indian poet. It is an autobiographical poem where the poet shows the loneliness and world-weariness of an old man in the modern society by depicting a picture of his own father returning home from work. The poem is a true account of the poet’s father Purushottam Chitre’s life in 1957 when they moved from Baroda to Mumbai. The poem is expressive of the poet’s feeling for his father at a later stage. He realized how neglected and uncared-for his father was, even after being the lone bread-earner for the family. But the poem ‘Father Returning Home’ has gone beyond its autobiographical significance. It is now an account of any old man who does the hard work for his family but leads a monotonous life where no one is there to take care of him, to converse with him or to understand his feelings. The poem consists of two stanzas of 12 lines each. It is written in free verse with...
