Read the excerpt from "shakespeare's sister and answer the question.
next i think that you may object that in all this i have made too much of the importance of material things.
even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind
should rise above such things; and that great poets have often been poor men. let me then quote to you
the words of your own professor of literature, who knows better than i do what goes to the making of a
poet. sir arthur quiller-coach writes: "the poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred
years, a dog's poor child in england has little more hope than had the son of an athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." that is it. intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.
select all that apply.
in this excerpt, woolf supports her argument by and
anticipating an objection her audience might have
developing the idea of "a lock on the door into an extended metaphor
exposing a romantic view of poverty as "great poets have often been poor"
making a counterargument
