Lady Bracknell hopes the marriage will result in social and economic advancement.

<h3>How can we understand this?</h3>
  • She reveals a lack of interest in marrying her daughter to someone who does not have a good economic condition.
  • She does not wish to marry her daughter to someone who is not of high social class.
  • She prepared her daughter to belong to high society.

In the text, we can see that Lady Bracknell states that her daughter was raised with great care and zeal, to suit high society and for that reason, she should not marry in a cloak-room. This underscores Lady Bracknell's desire to marry off her daughter in a pompous, sophisticated, and excess wedding that promotes the family's social and economic advancement.

If you are referring to this point: Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family.

I believe the correct answer is: “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

 

     In his dramatic work “The Importance of Being Earnest”, Oscar Wild often uses irony and humor to critique the norms and “moral” of the society in Victorian era. One of the examples for that is this line:

“To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

     As it shows the needless concern of the type of the bag Ernest was found in, but which indicate the wealth of the family to Lady Bracknell. Ernest states that there is no contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life when you are born in a hand-bag, no matter if it was large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it or not.

strojnjashka [21]
The correct answer is that these lines talk about the immortality of art.

Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats is often interpreted as the celebration of art and its immortality. The figures depicted on the urn have passed long before the narrator examines the urn on which their lives were depicted. Even though they perished their story has been preserved on the urn, and in a sense they have become immortal through the art, which is that which remains long after we are gone.
