2. Read this passage from "Dover Beach." What is the main idea of this passage? ...for the world, which seems
To lle before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
The world is full of promise
The world is our enemy
The world is a land of dreams
The world offers us nothing
