Answer

The quoted lines are from the poem “The Seven Ages” by William Shakespeare. The poet has compared the world to a stage and men and women with actors.All men and women appear on the stage of the world to play various roles. They are just stage artists. Their birth marks their appearance on the stage and death

denotes their departure.

(b) And then the lover
Sighing like furnace__________.

Answer

The lines are taken from the poem “The Seven Ages” by William Shakespeare. With the help of a simile, the poet explains that on attaining adolescence, men fall in love. The passion of love becomes active like heat generated in a furnace. However, this surging passion also declines after crossing a certain point of time. In this line, the poet hints at momentary nature of human affairs.

(c) a soldier,__________Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth.

Answer

The quoted lines are from the poem “The Seven Ages” by William Shakespeare.

The poet has compared a young man to a soldier who takes his responsibilities very seriously and strives relentlessly when dedicated to a cause. In his youth, man seeks instant fame and is ready to take risks. However, when one seeks instant fame, there is a big risk of their reputation getting tainted, just like a bubble that rises and bursts instantly.

7. Read the poem again and note down the metaphors and similes. Copy and complete the following chart.

Item	Metaphor	Simile
World	All the world’s a stage
Men, women
school-boy
lover
soldier
reputation
voice

Which comparison(s) do you find most interesting? Why?

Answer 

Item	Metaphor	Simile
World	All the world’s a stage
Men, women	men and women merely players
school-boy		Creeping like snail
lover		sighing like a furnace
soldier		bearded like the pard
reputation	bubble reputation
voice	big manly voice

According to me school boy comparison is really interesting one. Here, poet shows a boy carrying a schoolbag but at the same time walking slowly towards school. He doesn’t want to go to school. This phase common in these days.

Summary

Through Jacques, Shakespeare puts forth the view that the world is a stage in which human beings play their part.
There are seven Acts like seven stages in a man’s life. A person performs multifarious roles in a single life-time. In the beginning, he is a baby crying in the arms of the nurse.
Infancy is followed by a school-going stage, when he is bright-eyed, trudging unwillingly to school. In the third stage, he grows into a lover, writing poems in praise of his beloved and sighing like a furnace. Then he plays the role of a soldier, who is rash, and who willingly sacrifices his life for honour. In the next role, he is a Judge, well-fed, prosperous, fat and fierce-eyed. He is always in a mood of impressing others and is full of wise maxims.
The next stage depicts man to be weak, thin, wearing spectacles and slippers. His clothes are loose, and legs are thin, and his voice is shrill like that of a child. At the end comes the last stage when he loses his memory, teeth, eyes, taste, in fact everything. It is like a second childhood as he has to depend on others for everything. Thus ends the drama of his eventful life.

3.    The poem ‘Lord Ullin’s Daughter’ depicts the clash between the impetuous nature of youth and the tyrannical authority of parents. Discuss by giving examples from the poem.

Ans. “O haste thee, haste ! the lady cries, though tempests round us gather I’ll meet the raging of the skies But not an angry father”. These lines clearly depict the impetuous nature of youth. The tyrannical authority of parents is evident from the lines – “And as the night grew drearer. Adown the glen rode armed men, their trampling sounded nearer.” These lines also show the reckless side of youth and cruel authority of parents – “Three days we have fled together, should he find us in the glen, My blood would stain the heather his horsemen (Lord Ullin’s) behind us ride “Then who will cheer my bonny bride when they have slain her lover?”

And that you are happyat your timely decision which helped you to get back your daughter.    [CBSE    2010 (Term II)]

Ans.

Dear Robert

You will be glad to know that I have forgiven my daughter. As I chased her and the chief of Ulva’s Isle I was able to reach the shore as they were about to board the boat to cross the glen in the raging storm. I prevented them from boarding the boat and convinced my daughter that I would not harm her Chieftain. I would accept him. The young people were so surprised that they could not believe their ears. I hugged them and embraced them and blessed them. Now I not only have my daughter safe and sound but also a brave fearless son-in-law.

I am so glad I have a family to live with and to leave behind to carry my name after my death well so long.

Yours sincerely,

Ullin

5.    Discuss ‘Lord Ullin’s Daughter’ as a ballad.

Ans. ‘Lord Ullin’s Daughter is a ballad of the folk tradition. It describes a story in the narrative style, dealing with the tragedy of Lord Ullin’s daughter, who is unlucky in love. As is typical of a ballad, the poem begins midway, when the lovers have already eloped and the chase of Lord Ullin’s men is on the way. The poem begins abruptly with the dialogue between Chieftain and the boatman. The poem contains lots of dialogues which are typical of a ballad. There is fast paced action, which culminates in tragedy for the lovers, who are drowned in the stormy sea. The language is very simple. But it is the rhythm and the
music which characterise the poem as a true ballad. The rhyme scheme throughout is ‘ab ab’ which adds to the music of the poem.

6.    You are Lord Ullin. You are greatly grieved by the loss of your daughter and wonder what it would have been if you had not been rigid about following the traditions of your clan. Write a letter to your friend on how you were the cause of this tragedy.

[CBSE 2010 (Term I)]

Dear friend,

I am writing this letter to you to share my feelings about the irreparable loss that I faced today. Now there is nothing left for me to live for my dear daughter, my only child is gone – gone forever – she would never come back and all because of my inhuman cruelty, my unforgiving nature, my dictatorial ways and my in keeping tradition of the clan. If I had not been so cruelly dictatorial she would be alive now, full of laughter and full of life. Not only my daughter but I would also have got a son — the chieftain of Ulva’s Isle — so brave, so fearless, so loving and devoted to my daughter. Oh God! why could I not foresee the consequences of my harshness. But nothing can be done now. She will never come back again. I will never see her, never hear her voice. Now there is nothing left but a lifelong regret and heartache.

Your friend

Ullin

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

1.    Lord Ullin is revengeful, having a dictatorial nature, but is soft at heart. Discuss.

Ans. Lord Ullin’s daughter wanted to marry the chieftain of Ulva’s Island. He did not approve of it. The lovers elope. Lord Ullin is furious. Along with his boatmen he goes after them. This picture of a stern father is one side of facts. The other is that he loved his daughter as is evident from the lines his wrath was changed to wailing “Come back! come back! he cried in grief’ And I’ll forgive your highland chief, “My daughter! my daughter!” he cried in grief. His anger cools down as he sees his daughter in danger. He is ready to forgive her and her lover.

2.    Why do you think the boatman was ready to risk his life, knowing fully well that there was a storm in the sea?    (CBSE    2010)

Ans. The boatman was fearless and faithful. He agrees to take them across the lake not for the sake of the silver pound but for the sake of the lovely bride and her chieftain-lover. He shows no fear in the face of the raging waters. The spirit of the water shrieked fury as the boatman took out the boat — a bad omen but the boatmen remained undisturbed and brave.

3.    Discuss the dramatic importance of the role played by the boatman. Do you think he was responsible for the tragic death of the lovers ?

Ans. No, the boatman was not responsible for the tragic death of the lovers. He lost his life as well. In fact he took a brave and bold decison to help the young lovers. In any case they had no option for they were not ready to face Lord Uillin and his men. May be if Lord Ullin had caught them he would have slain the Chieftain and the
young bride would have been left lamenting.

4.Why    was Lord Ullin left lamenting in the end?

(CBSE 2010)

OR

Why was Lord Ullin in despair at the end of the poem ?    [CBSE    2010 (Term I)]

Ans. When Lord Ullin saw his only child perishing in the stormy waters of the lake he was devastated with grief and guilt. He felt if he had not been so strict may be his daughter would have lived. The loss of his daughter was a tragedy he was not able to face. When he saw her drowing, he wanted to save her but the stormy waves rose so high that neither he could give them any help nor they could of their own will come back to the safety of the shore, so there was nothing left for him but to lament.

5.    Why was the Chieftain of Ulva in a hurry? Who tried to help him ?    [CBSE 2010 (Term I)]

Ans. Chieftain of Ulva married Lord Ullin’s daughter against her father’s wishes. So they ran away to escape his wrath. Being chased by Lord Ullin and his men, both the lovers reach the shore of a river. They request the boatman to row them to the other shore. The river was furious with storm. At first the boatman refused but seeing the helplessness of the two lovers he agreed to help them.

6.    What did the Chief of Ulva offer the ferryman to row them across ?    [CBSE    2010    (Term    I)]

Ans. The chief of Ulva and her bonny bride were being chased by Lord Ullin and his men. They reached the shore of a tempestuous river and requested the boatman to row them across the river. When the boatman showed his reluctance, the chieftain offered him a silver coin to row them across.

7.    What was the dilemma of the lady in the poem

‘Lord Ullin’s Daughter’ ? What choice does she finally make?    [CBSE    2010 (Term I)]

Ans. The dilemma that Lord Ullin’s daughter faces is which was the lesser evil — the storming waters or the raging Lord Ullin and his men. Whom to face? Who would give them reprieve? Who would give them a chance to survive? Would the storm be kind to them and let them reach the other shore safely or will Lord Ullin be kind and forgive her and give her lover and herself a reprieve. She chooses the raging sea instead of facing a raging father.

8.    What did the Chief of Ulva fear would happen if they did not cross the Lochgyle ?

[CBSE 2010 (Term I)]

Ans. After marrying Lord Ullin’s daughter, the chief of Ulva had invited his wrath. They tried to run away from there by crossing river Lochgyle. Lord Ullin and his men were chasing them. The chief of Ulva thought that if they were unable to cross the river, Lord Ulva and his men would kill the chieftain and there would be no one to take
care of his bonny bride.

9.    I’ll meet the raging of the skies;

But not an angry father.

Mention the reasons for the speaker’s unwillingness to meet an angry father.    [CBSE 2010 (Term I)]

Lord Ullin’s daughter is a determined lady who loves the chieftain, despite many odds. She knew her father’s nature well that he would never accept the chieftain as her groom and would never bless her alliance with him. When she elopes with her lover, she is well prepared to face dangers that would result. They have been fleeing for three days. There is no place, where they can escape the wrath of her father, unless they cross the Lochgyle. The tempest, the menacing waves, the mighty wind, the dark raging skies do not deter her. She and her lover try to cross the sea. Even when she is in the grip of death, her one arm is around her lover. This was more than she could have bargained for. It was better than being alive and be separated from her lover. At least they were united in death.
