The answer is indeed letter C) Miss Prism. No married man is ever attractive except to his wife.

"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a play written by Oscar Wilde. It revolves around characters who make up imaginary friends or even pretend to be other people in order to deceive those around them. The characters lie when they feel like escaping society, freeing themselves from the boring company of their friends.

"The Importance of Being Earnest" is the most famous comedy of manners of all time. A comedy of manners satirizes society, criticizing social standards and manners. There is usually a love affair or some other sort of scandal in the plot. The dialogs are full of witty remarks and sarcasm.

As for the options, letter C is the one that best supports the affirmation that this play is a comedy of manners. It's a remark made by the character Miss Prism, who has a love interest in Reverend Chasuble. She tries to convince him that he should marry, that a single man is a constant temptation to women. By marrying, according to her, he would be doing what is best for the Church. She goes on to say that older women would be a better choice (she is an older woman). Wilde probably used her character to criticize the desperation of older women of that era when it came to marriage.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Passionate love between young pair

Each person takes one's own life because of unfortunate misunderstanding

There are too many events in the plot of "Pyramus and Thisbe" from which William Shakespeare draws the story of "Romeo and Juliet". Some more similarities in both the stories are;

Kept apart by their family who hate each other

Both pairs decide to elope

Both pairs decide to run away together

Female protagonists are thought to be dead, so male protagonists take their own lives.

Female protagonists use the same blades (used by their beloved) to kill themselves.

Select two quotations that best support the theme of gaining one's freedom from
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!

There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a nght to impose a private will upon a fellow creature.

Explanation:

The two excerpts above impose a sense of knowledge, power and freedom. This is because we can see that the above excerpt shows a narrator free to act, feel and think according to his own conception and his own principles, using his own opinions. This ability is achieved when an individual is able to free himself from an interminably limiting and weighting oppression.
