Answer any two of the following questions in 80 – 120 words each:
(a) What is your opinion of Margolin as a doctor?
(b) What are Milton’s arguments against building a monument for Shakespeare?
(c) What, according to Shaw, will happen if we allow a person to have control over us?
(a) Dr. Solomon Margolin is a skilled and principled Jewish doctor in New York. He is through an atheist but he treats the members of his community free of charge and is also involved in various Jewish activities. Dr Margolin has treated rabbis, refugees, and Jewish writers without charge and also, he supplies them medicines and other essential vaccines in case of any emergency and also provides hospital bed if necessary. All these traits show that Dr. Margolin is a kind and conscientious doctor who is very successful in his profession.
(b) According to John Milton, there is no artificial (made by human) monument which can be suitable to give a tribute to Shakespeare’s achievements. He described that Shakespeare himself has created the most durable or enduring monument which is indeed appropriate to his wittiness and generosity i.e. the readers of his plays. People who have been reading and seeking his plays from a very period of time who are filled with wonders and amazement surely become the living monuments for him which can be renowned over a long time.
(c) According to Shaw, if we allow a person to have a control over us we will end up being his slaves and this will end our natural freedom of living. The person will control us according to his own will and make us to do his work by force or by fraud or any other tricks. They will regulate our slavery, feed the greed of us within limitations and among this democratic world we will not live as freer than we were before. Slavery under humans is oppressive, exploitive and demeaning. The controller has the ability to create a sense of false comfort in the minds of slaver which leads to poor man to do his slavery forever and leave himself to suffer alone. So, one must not let any person to get control over his freedom of natural living and should live according to his on wishes.
