Question
Critically analyze the significance of any two of the following quotations. Discuss their dramatic context, thematic relevance, and stylistic features:
a) DAISY: I never knew you were such a realist-I thought you were more poetic. Where's your imagination? There are many sides to reality. Choose the one that's best for you. Escape into the world of imagination.
b) MRS. ALVING: It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them.
c) SHEN TE: To be good to you, my son, I shall be a tigress to all others.
d) VLADIMIR: I don't understand.
ESTRAGON: Use your intelligence, can't you?
Vladimir uses his intelligence.
VLADIMIR: (finally) I remain in the dark.

Mrs. Alving’s statement in Henrik Ibsen’s *Ghosts*—“It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them”—occurs at a crucial moment in the play when the veneer of social respectability has begun to crack. The dramatic context is one of revelation. Mrs. Alving, who has spent years maintaining the illusion of her late husband’s moral uprightness, confronts Pastor Manders and articulates her growing awareness that society is governed not merely by biological inheritance but by oppressive moral conventions. The remark comes as she reflects upon the destructive consequences of concealment, hypocrisy, and obedience to public opinion. Her son Oswald’s inherited illness—syphilis contracted from his father—serves as the literal embodiment of hereditary “ghosts,” yet Mrs. Alving expands the metaphor to include ideological inheritance. Thematically, the quotation crystallizes Ibsen’s critique of nineteenth-century bourgeois morality. The _________ ______ _________ _________ _________.
