On page 10, Gwendolen meets Jack for the first time, who introduced himself as Ernest. Gwendolen says: "The moment Algernon first mentioned to me that he had a friend called Ernest, I knew I was destined to love you." This is an example of how Oscar Wilde makes women seem picky and naive.
On page 16, Algernon says that "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her, if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain." This is a perfect example of how Wilde makes men look like pigs.
Okay, so I am not going to write this whole thing for you, however I will compare and contrast the two.
Lady Macbeth
She really wants her husband to carry out the murders bc she is thirsty to be queen
Macbeth
Kinda hesitant to do it, questions if he can but let's his wife persuade him into doing it. After murdering Duncan, Macbeth kinda freaks out and leaves the daggers in Duncan's room and Lady Macbeth has to go back and fix her hubby's mistake

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise
because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible. It is important to keep in mind that when you
are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there
are in a sentence. Thus, it is always
best to communicate with the fewest words possible. Let’s take a look at another example. Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball
is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting
next to you tries to warn you by saying the following: “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming
in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into
contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because
ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you
should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.” How would that work? Now, compare that to the more exact/precise
sentence of “Duck!” See how that
works?
