1) Zeal-of-the-land Busy, a character in Ben
Jonson’s play Bartholomew Fair, is one of the typically hypocritical Puritans whom Jonson
so often satirizes in his works. Jonson disrespected the Puritans for
criticizing the alledged sins of others while being so full of flaws
themselves. Thus, the first extended description of Busy suggests that although
he is ostensibly opposed to gluttony, he is himself a glutton. Another
character reports that he is cleaning his beard (which is presumably dirtied
with food droppings) and says,
“I found him, fast by the teeth, i’ the cold
Turkey-pie, i’ the cupboard, with a great white loaf on his left hand, and a
glass of Malmsey [that is, wine] on his right. (29; citations are to pages of
the early Yale edition [see link], which does not provide continuous line numbers.
Quotations are modernized.)” the character is---
A) Littlewit: A mutual friend of all the
fairgoers. As his name suggests, he is not as clever as he thinks he is.
B) Winwife: A friend of Littlewit. He is
initially interested in Dame Purecraft but soon decides he wants to marry
Grace.
C) Quarlous: A close friend of Winwife. He
plots with Winwife to steal Grace away from her fiancé, Cokes.
D) Grace Wellborn: A young woman engaged to
marry Cokes. She despises him because of his childish behavior and lack of
intelligence and wants nothing more than to get out of marrying him.
E) Bartholomew Cokes: A well-to-do young man
whose childlike simplicity and fascination with trinkets, which serves to
constantly frustrate Wasp.
F)Humphrey Wasp:

The BOOK was published in 1841 along with short stories in his weekly serial Master Humphrey's Clock, which lasted from 1840 to 1841. ThE NOVEL tells the
story of Nell Trent, a beautiful and virtuous young girl of 'not quite
fourteen.' An orphan, she lives with her maternal grandfather (whose name is
never revealed) in his shop of odds and ends. She lives a lonely existence with
almost no friends her own age. Her only friend is Kit, an honest boy
employed at the shop, and whom she is teaching to write. Secretly
obsessed with ensuring that Nell does not die in poverty as her parents did,
her grandfather attempts to make Nell a good inheritance through gambling at cards. He borrows heavily
from the evil Daniel Quilp, a malicious,
grotesquely deformed, hunchbacked dwarf moneylender. In the end, he gambles
away what little money they have, and Quilp seizes the opportunity to take
possession of the shop and evict Nell and her grandfather. Her grandfather
suffers a breakdown that leaves him
bereft of his wits, and Nell takes him away to the Midlands of England, to live
as beggars. Convinced that the old man has stored up a fortune for Nell, her
wastrel brother Frederick convinces the good-natured but easily-led Dick Swiveller to help him track
Nell down so that Swiveller can marry her and the two can share Nell's supposed
inheritance. Kit has found new employment with Mr and Mrs Garland. Nell is trapped by Quill but escapes. He comes
to know about the whereabouts of Nell. But when he reaches there, Nell is
dead due to arduous journey and her grandfather has turned insane. He
