List Of Important Questions From PAPER-III of C.U. English Honours

If you are trying to get hold on the list of important question from various books in Third Paper of C.U. English Honours Syllabus then check out this list.

Students should understand that most of the books prescribed by the Calcutta University (C.U.) for all the three years of English Honours course had been in circulations for a really long time. After each decade some of these books are changed but not all of it. The University of Calcutta had recently revised its syllabus in 2010. And no new questions are formed at all. If there is a new question in the exam, then it is just same question which is being 'asked in a different manner'. Then why they do it?

To test your knowledge and 'question interpretation skills'.

Most of the C.U. English Honours books have just three to five major questions which are repeated after a gap of two years.

Take for example 'Rape of the Lock'.

There are few major important questions like :

• Rape of the Lock as mock-epic.
• Character of Belinda
• The Eighteenth Century Society
• Game of Ombre
• Toilette Scene
• Use Of Supernatural Machinery

So these questions are used repeatedly after a gap of few years. Just have a look on the last year's Question Paper and prepare for those which were not included in it.
