A2. Describe: (02)

 Inner beauty v/s Outer beauty in context with the above extract.

Ans : 

The poet creates this balance by starting out to praise the womanโ€™s physical features and then moving on to appreciate her inner beauty. In the first stanza of the poem, the poet focuses on the physical attributes of the woman. In the last two lines of the second stanza, the poet shifts focus to the womanโ€™s thoughts. This is the first time he describes something other than her outer beauty, her thoughts, which serenely express the purity of the womanโ€™s mind. In the third stanza, the poet continues this thought by saying that the womanโ€™s facial features, her winning smiles, and her glowing skin, express her inner goodness; they show how her mind is at peace with everything and her heart is full of innocent love. This gives us a glimpse of the womanโ€™s untainted and righteous character.

A3. Personal Response: (02)ย 

โ€œDo not judge a book by its cover,โ€ do you think this proverb justify this extract. Share your views in about fifty words. 

Ans : This is a very common saying and probably has got its perception in almost every aspect of our life. outward appearance cannot be an indicator of someone or somethingโ€™s value or worth. We cannot know what someone or something is like just by looking at the person or thingโ€™s appearance. The quality or character of someone or something cannot be judged just by looking at them and this is the reason that while describing the outer beauty, the poet has successfully drawn the attention of readers towards the inner beauty of the lady.ย
