ReplyDeletewhat exactly is millies role and what kind of question could come related to millie?
In this extract,Millie Crocker Harris simply provides a means for Taplow to skip detention. In the original book, she has a more significant role to play.
Deletemaam,
ReplyDeletewhat exactly is millies role and what kind of question could come related to millie?
was there anything between millie and frank?
Well, we could ask you how she helped Taplow out or her description. Nothing more from the exam point of view. She's more important in the context of the original play, but not for class XI exams.

ReplyDeleteSorry, that's not the point of this site :)
Read the chapter well. Good luck.
Why is the title Browning Version?
ReplyDelete@Dolan: In this extract, the version of the Greek tragedy 'Agamemnon', which Taplow is supposed to work on, was translated by Robert Browning. Hence, the name.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter is an extract. The title won't make much sense until you read/watch the complete play where this version of 'Agamemnon' becomes a parting gift for Crocker-Harris.
could u tell why Frank gets infinitely relieved on seeing Mille?? Does relieved here have another meaning?
ReplyDeleteWell, in the original novel, Frank was at Crocker Harris' quarters to meet Millie with whom he is having an affair. One explanation may state that he was 'happy' to see her, therefore relieved, especially since Harris was expected to arrive any time.
DeleteHowever, it might also indicate a welcome interruption from a situation where he had begun to enjoy and join in with Taplow's comments about a fellow master.
