17. Yet both illustrate human nature.Poetry pleases and instructs by illuminate human nature.

19. ‘’Rape of the Lock.’’

22. It takes the major questions for granted, and we cannot learn from it:

27. To hold a view of literature which is at once imitative and didactic or instructive one must be a very special kind of optimist. ‘’some the eighteenth century writers May have had this kind of optimism, but Johnson certainly did not.

29. they all seem sometimes to talk as though the poet provides new exploration the human situation and at other times as though he simply illustrated effectively and convincingly what we know to be true. Keats’ ‘’almost a Remembrance.’’ we can recognize what we had not previously known. When we see new knowledge rendered in the special way the poet employs, we see it both as new and as familiar, and our reaction combines recognition with insight.
