问题 Many critics of Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a romantic reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel’s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue for an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel’s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel’s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis(although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet. [br] The author of the passage suggests which of the following about Hamlet?
选项 A、Hamlet has usually attracted critical interpretations that tend to stiffen into theses.
B、Hamlet has elements that are not amenable to an all-encompassing critical interpretation.
C、Hamlet is less open to an all-encompassing critical interpretation than is Wuthering Heights.
答案 B
解析 Choice B is correct. This question asks the reader which of the three statements about Hamlet listed in the answer choices are suggested by the author of the passage.
Choice A is incorrect: the passage does not provide information about the characteristics of the usual critical interpretations of Hamlet.
Choice B is correct: Hamlet is mentioned only in the final sentence of the passage, which refers to "this respect" in which Hamlet and Wuthering Heights are similar. The previous sentence reveals the point of similarity referred to: Wuthering Heights has elements that resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretive framework.
Choice C is incorrect: the passage mentions only a feature shared between Hamlet and Wuthering Heights. It does not suggest anything about a difference in their openness to a particular critical interpretation.
