  I think that the literary device used in the title of Oscar Wilde´s play is Pun.

  A pun is a play on words that produces a humorous effect by using words that suggest two or more meanigns or by exploiting similiar sounding words with different meanings.

  In the title "The Importance of Being Earnest" there is a pun in the word Earnest because it is a synonim of honest and sincere and sounds like Ernest, the firstly false name that the principal character, Jack used to have another life far away of his obligations.

  I hope that this answer help you. Greetings.

Do you capitalize grandparents
Len [333]
No, grandparents is a common noun, therefore you don't capitalize it. It would be different if you had the names of the grandparents. Like if your grandma is named Martha. You would have to capitalize their name since it is a proper noun
