Answer:
Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.
Explanation:
Given the novel’s title, it is no surprise that courage—defining it, desiring it, and, ultimately, achieving it—is the most salient element of the narrative. As the novel opens, Henry’s understanding of courage is traditional and romantic. He assumes that, like a war hero of ancient Greece, he will return from battle either with his shield or on it. Henry’s understanding of courage has more to do with the praise of his peers than any internal measure of his bravery. Within the novel’s first chapter, Henry recalls his mother’s advice, which runs counter to his own notions. She cares little whether Henry earns himself a praiseworthy name; instead, she instructs him to meet his responsibilities honestly and squarely, even if it means sacrificing his own life.

A. I guess that the character from The Importance of Being Earnest that resembles Wilde most would be Algernon.
He is flamboyant, and a party-maniac, and loves to make fun of other people who are not like him. Wilde was like that in his real life too - he was a Victorian man but completely against that period, and he loved to express himself in a manner that would often weird out other people. Algernon is Wilde's voice in the play - he comments on other characters and criticizes them for their exaggerated Victorian values that Wilde hated with a passion.
B. Verbal irony is a sarcastic way of saying opposite of what you actually mean. Dramatic irony is when the readers know something that the characters in the play are unaware of. Situational irony occurs when expectations of what is going to happen and what actually happens do not match.
As for the examples, I don't have the play on me, just use these definitions and find them for yourself. :)
Black wires grow on her head would be the best example of imagery because it uses descriptive words to describe a sight
The book is titled "Finished"
