1) Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

Ionesco protested against the imputation that he was a deliberate antirealist, that he maintained the impossibility of
communication by language. ‘The very fact of writing and presenting plays is surely incompatible with such a view. I simply
hold that it is difficult to make oneself understood, not absolutely impossible.’ After a dig at Sartre (as the author of political
melodramas), Osborne, Miller, Brecht, et al., as auteurs du boulevard‐ representatives of a Left Wing conform‐ism which is
just as lamentable as the Right Wing sort’, Ionesco stated his conviction that society itself formed one of the barriers
between human beings, that the authentic community of man is wider than society. ‘No society has been able to abolish
human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute;
it is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa/ Hence the need to break down the language of
society, which ‘is nothing but clichés, empty formulas and slogans’. That is why the ideologies with their fossilized language
must be continually reexamined and ‘their congealed language … relentlessly split apart in order to find the living sap
beneath’.

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A : Sartre is a right‐wing playwright of the absurdist tradition

1) Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Greek Tragedy

Greek tragedy in its oldest form dealt only with the sufferings of Dionysus [. . .] all the celebrated characters of the Greek
stage – Prometheus, Oedipus and so on – are merely masks of that original hero [. . .] this hero is the suffering Dionysus of
the mysteries, the god who himself experiences the suffering of individuation [. . .] This suggests that dismemberment, the
true Dionysiac suffering, amounts to a transformation into air, water, earth and fire, and that we should therefore see the
condition of individuation as the source and origin of all suffering and hence as something reprehensible. (Nietzsche 1995:
51–2)

That is to say, Nietzsche traced back the origin of Greek tragic theatre to a ritual, a very particular ritual, in fact: a
sacrificial ritual, the ritual of dismemberment. Such an idea was unacceptable to his contemporaries. It not only equated
Greek culture with ‘primitive’ culture, and negated the value of the individual, moreover, it also completely disregarded
the role and significance of the great texts handed down to us. In nineteenth century Germany, theatre was predominantly
defined by its capacity to convey or mediate literary works of art. A theatrical performance was only awarded the status as
a work of art if it fulfilled this function. Otherwise it simply served to entertain the audience. The idea was raised, albeit
sporadically, that a theatrical performance as such might be seen as an autonomous work of art as, for example, Goethe
suggested of opera in On the Truth and Plausibility of Works of Art (1798), an idea which Richard Wagner took up and
developed even further when defining the performance of a musical drama as the only conceivable and valuable artwork of
the future (The Artwork of the Future, 1848). (Besides, it was Richard Wagner’s music theatre, which Nietzsche hailed and
celebrated as the resurrection of the temporarily dismembered, tragic theatre in Birth of Tragedy.) The majority of
Goethe’s and Wagner’s contemporaries, however, believed that only the performed dramatic text could secure the status
of a work of art for a theatrical performance. Even as late as 1918, the critic Alfred Klaar wrote: ‘Theatre will only succeed
in maintaining a position of great importance when dramatic poetry adds its substance.’
