The analyses of a text #1
The narrator recalls his childhood.
He lives with his mother, Peggotty the only maid of his house, his stern stepfather Mr. Murdstone, and Mr. Mudstone's eccentric elder sister in his late father's house.
The gloomy taint that was in the Murdstone blood darkened the Murdstone religion, which was austere and wrathful. I have though, since, that its assuming that character was a necessary consequence of Mr. Murdstone's firmness, which wouldn't allow him to let anybody off from the utmost weight of the severest penalties he could find any excuse for. Be this as it may, I well remember the tremendous visages with which we used to go to church, and the changed air of the place.
[David Copperfield by Charles Dickens]
I'd like to know why those are "Murdstone blood" and "Murdstone religion," not "Murdstone's blood" and "Murdstone's religion."
I'd like to "it" refers to "Murdstone blood."
And I'd like to know "Be this as it may" is an imperative sentence.
Thank you in advance for your help.
