Homework, my own interpretation of the confession.

My dear wife, my dear duchess
What do you think is a big pain for me: thinking about you or watching on your portraint on the wall, which is painted as if you were alive?
I suppose, that the worst thing is that none of this brings me any pain or suffering... and in general, I  remember about my guilt in front of you not so often. Am I an awful person or not, it does not make any scense for me... Surely you would now despair and ask me: "why", to which I would no doubt have reacted with cold silence.
Your potrtrait is beautiful, but the pain that you gave me stains it with the brightest colors.

My dear last Duchess,

I still remember you like if you’re alive. It still hurts though. Sometimes I still can see you or even hear your voice. You were so precious to me, but there are so many things’ people don`t know about us. You were so special to me but the question is: was I special to you, too? People said many things about you and it hurts me how they can see the truth without even trying, all of them knew everything behind this “curtains”. Remember how you were always so glad, so easily impressed, you liked whatever you looked at? I have always known, since the beginning, that you were not so innocent as everyone thought. I was so ashamed that I had to do something with all of this! The good thing is: at least you had dowry and your father still pays me some kind of a debt. Poor man though… Oh, and also, I have this picture of you now, it`s quite pretty, to be honest. Just look what you`ve done. It`s all your fault.

Love,

your last Duke.

I guess the characterization is quite fine. Written in an understandable language, expressing the specifics of the character, however, quite succinctly.
Translation:
Мистер Беннет был человеком, сочетающим в себе живой ум, саркастический юмор, сдержанность и непостоянство, поэтому его двадцатитрехлетней жене было достаточно сложно понять все особенности его характера. Она была менее развита умственно, воспринимала вещи поверхностно. Характер у нее был странный, она любила трепать себе нервы, а единственным делом ее жизни было выдать дочерей замуж. Единственным ее увлечением было принимать гостей и сплетничать.
I used a generalization as a translation technique and that was enough for me in this passage

# data[].attributes.body
The characterization of the characters is quite funny, these two are completely different and it's interesting how they get along together for so many years. The author very aptly notices the character traits of each character and adds humor to the description.
Translation:
В Мистере Беннете сочетались остроумие,  саркастический юмор, сдержанность и постоянно меняющееся настроение, что двадцати трех лет совместной жизни жене было недостаточно, чтобы понять его характер. Ее же характер был проще. Она - необразованная женщина с переменчивым настроением.  Когда она была чем-то недовольна, то воображала, что просто нервничает. Целью в ее жизни было выдать своих дочерей замуж. А утешением были визиты и новости.

# data[].attributes.body
The characterization is amazing. The language is simple but still great. It shows the main characteristics quite briefly.

В мистере Беннете ловко сочетались быстрота ума, саркастичный юмор, замкнутость и взбалмошность одновременно, поэтому даже за двадцать три года совместной жизни его жена так и не смогла привыкнуть к особенностям его характера. Однако в ее характере разобраться было куда проще. Она была невежественной, не разносторонней женщиной со сложным характером. Едва стоило ей на что-то обидеться, как тут же уверяла, что у нее не все в порядке с нервами. Целью ее жизни было удачно выдать своих дочерей замуж, а ее развлечениями были визиты и новости.

The text is quite simple to translate but it`s better to preserve the unique style and tropes which was typical for any victorian novel of the 19th century.

I think the description of the Bennetts is actually very interesting. They are totally different people, and because of that, their love story evokes interest and questions... I consider their description funny and maybe sarcastic. It says that Mrs. Bennet 20 years tried to understand her husband, but didn't succeed, so we understand that their life has to be funny or at least extraordinary.

Характер Мистера Беннетта сочетал такие качества, как остроумие, саркастический юмор, сдержанность и своенравие. Для его жены дадцатитрехлетнего опыта оказалось недостаточно, чтобы понять его характер. Ее же понять было гараздо проще. Миссис Беннетт была женщиной скромного ума, мало начитанной и нетвердого нрава. Когда она была недовольна, ей чудилось, что она начинает нервничать. Единственным смыслом ее жизни было выдать дочерей замуж; ее утешением были встречи и новости.

It was a little bit challenging for me to understand some words, but in the context I figured out the general meaning. I used some translating techniques for this passage, for example changed the word order and structure of the sentences to make them sound better in Russian.

Мр. Беннет представлял собой необычное сочетание остроумия, сарказма, сдержанности и причудливости. Его жене не хватило даже 23 лет совместной жизни, чтобы его полностью разгадать. Ее же ум понять было гораздо проще. Она была женщиной средней сообразительности, невеликой эрудиции и капризного нрава. Когда ее что-то не устраивало, она начинала сильно переживать. А делом всей своей жизни она считала замужество дочерей, так, ее утешением становились визиты и новости.

This chapter shows quite odd manner of writing which we are not used to. Still it is a great demonstration of 19th century's writing. In description of characters we can hear a lot of ironic notes. Whether it's Mr Bennet or his wife - they are both rather amusing. We can see that this description is introduced by the author as a narrator. This is characteristically for the literature epoch. The mood of writing is lightsome, and the text itself is very readable.

Мистер Беннет столь причудливо сочетал в себе остроумие и сарказм, сдержанность и порывистость, что его жене не хватило и двадцати-трех лет совместной жизни, чтобы разобраться в его характере. Ее натуру понять было не столь сложно. Она обладала узким кругозором, была недалекой и капризной. Если что-то вызывало ее недовольство, она охотно нервничала. Выдать замуж дочерей было делом всей ее жизни, а утешением - светские визиты и известия.

I find the characterisation of Mr Bennet and his wife to be succinct and humorous, as it gives us a very clear understanding of what these characters are like and how their dynamic might play out in a witty manner, similiar to the rest of the chapter. The combination of the reader's knowledge (at least, what is assumed to be common knowledge) with a few stereotypical elements creates a vivid picture of these characters in just a few sentences.

Perhaps the translator should know how to translate bookish words, some information about the writer. Maybe it also would be useful to know historical realities of that time, because it helps to see the context, in which the book was written.

# data[].attributes.body
Jane Austen for me is sombebody who absoulutely changed the form of the novel and created some kind of "women novel". i do not think that is was safe and typical for her to raise and develop such unusual topics, and, what I think is the most unusual is how discreetly and professionally she did it, so even many years ago people are trying to clear her mind

Dear Duchess,
this letter might be a bit late. I know that. I know either that you won“t be able to read it, to understand all my emotions and feelings which I suffer from. And this is not for the unappeling reason that you“re gone but rather for the fact that I feel nothing towards you. I must admit you were a clever woman but not clever enough to see the consequences of your arrogant behavior. I would never name the reason of your death to anyone though I would be very glad to make people believe that you died from your hypocrisy. Do I sound quite angry? I must apologize and then repeat that I feel nothing. Although there is one thing which I suppose I can convey from my disappointed heart. This is the power which I got after your death. The power to turn your image in whatever I want. I can imagine that you were kind and virtuous (which I will never do) or I can describe you as a butterly (beautiful, but tragic because of the short lifespan) or I can make you nothing - saying to my guests just a few words about your portrait and then moving on the next picture like if you were just a part of my collection. Honestly, maybe you actually were. And if you were then I must notice that you might feel unspecial and lonely, but, unfortunately, I don“t care about that because I“m deeply in love with my collection. I should end this before I feel a shadow of guilt. With all my respect.

P.S. Is it honourable enough for you to be the last?

Homework: The Hobbit (Analysis) - Kristina Bozhukhina

Homework: The Hobbit (Analysis) - Kristina Bozhukhina

# data[].attributes.body
1. At the beginning, the author tells about the place where the hobbit lives. In this way, he prepares the reader, taking him away from the ordinary situation and pointing out to him that a fictional story is being offered to his attention. The reader understands that the events of this story take place in an unknown place.
2. The narration does not begin immediately, at first the author gives his arguments, and does not introduce the reader to the characters and their lives. It is also unusual that a dialogue immediately follows, and not the usual description.
3. These are two different ways of starting a narrative. Tolkien uses the second one, he immediately sets the tone of the story and brings the reader up to date. but Jane Austen, it seems to me, uses the first method, so after reading the first sentences in "pride and prejudice", so  the reader finds a reason to reflect, to think about what the author is writing about.
4. Давным-давно однажды тихим утром по какой–то странной случайности, когда было меньше шума и больше зелени, а хоббиты все еще были многочисленны и процветали, Бильбо Бэггинс стоял в дверях после завтрака, курил длинную деревянную трубку, которая доходила почти до его шерстистых пальцев ног (аккуратно причесанных) - мимо проходил Гэндальф.
The words "long ago" and "one morning" resemble the beginning of a fairy tale, this is such a formula for the beginning of a fictional story. And usually when the author begins the narrative in this way, then the adventures begin.
5. 1) The mother of our particular hobbit ... what is a hobbit? - Мать нашего хоббита… постойте, кто такой хоббит?
2) and Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast smoking an enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed) - Бильбо Бэггинс стоял в дверях после завтрака, курил длинную деревянную трубку, которая доходила почти до его шерстистых пальцев ног (аккуратно причесанных)
3) Bungo, that was Bilbo’s father, built the most luxurious hobbit-hole for her (and partly with her money) that was to be found either under The Hill or over The Hill or across The Water, and there they remained to the end of their days - Банго, отец Бильбо, отстроил для нее (и отчасти на ее деньги) роскошную хоббичью нору, какую нельзя было найти Под Холмом, ни За Холмом, ни По Ту Сторону Реки, и жили они там до конца своих дней.
4) Gandalf! If you had heard only a quarter of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale - Гэндальф! Если вы слышали хотя бы четверть того, что слышал о нем я, а я слыхал лишь малую часть того, что рассказывают, то вы были бы готовы к любой самой удивительной истории.
5) Still it is probable that Bilbo, her only son, although he
looked and behaved exactly like a second edition of his
solid and comfortable father, got something a bit queer
in his makeup from the Took side, something that only
waited for a chance to come out - Но вероятно, что Бильбо, ее единственный сын, хоть по виду и поведению был копией своего солидного и спокойного отца, получил от Туков в наследство что-то странное, что ждало случая проявиться наружу.
6) I should think so – in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them, said our Mr. Baggins, and stuck one thumb behind his braces, and blew out another even bigger smoke-ring - Еще бы, в этих краях! Мы простой мирный народ, нам не нужны приключения. Они приносят одно беспокойство и неприятности! Опоздаешь из-за них к обеду! Не понимаю, что в них находят, - сказал наш мистер Бэггинс и, заложив большой палец за подтяжки и выпустил еще одно большое кольцо дыма.
