The correct answer is option letter A. The poem “It’s This Way” by the Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet reflects a soulful humanistic theme. After facing several incidents in his life, such as his imprisonment, Hikmet traveled from Turkey to Romania and then moved to Russia. While he lived there, he thought about a different poetry, a new kind of poetry. Hikmet changed his attitude towards human relations and events and humanism became one of the characteristics of his works. The poet included some basic concerns of people such as the meaning of life, death, and sadness. In the poem “It’s This Way”, Hikmet expresses his desire for living and not giving up his principles by keeping the focus on the future, even though his life is complicated. A clear example of this idea of living is expressed in the following clauses: “being captured is beside the point, the point is <u>not to surrender</u>”.

Examine Dr. Faustus’s status as a tragic hero. Does he deserve this label? Explain your answer. Your answer should be at least 1

Dr Faustus can be considered a tragic hero for various reasons. Firstly, we can conclude that he is not completely bad or evil, he just makes a critical error and decides to sell his soul to the devil due to his thirst for knowledge. This makes us relate to him due to his imperfect nature and hunger for knowledge and consequently we pity him more. Secondly, he is of high standing and is a great scholar, which makes us question how these things can happen to such people and this makes his tragic destiny seem even more gloomy to us. When we look at Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero where he defines him as someone not 100% good or bad who makes us feel sorry for their miserable fate, the character of Faustus fits this definition perfectly. All in all, his human vices paired with his inquisitive nature are the main reasons why we are obliged to consider Dr Faustus a tragic hero.
