English

Kobotan [32]4 years ago
5 0

In the play The Importance of Being Earnest, which is a is a trivial, comedy written by the Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde and performed for the first time on 14 February 1895 at St James's Theatre in London, food is used as a symbol.

In this play,  <em>the consumption of food is used as a symbol which represents excess, or overindulgenc</em>e. For instance, the fact that Algernon cannot stop eating cucumber sandwiches, or muffins when they are put in front of him, might suggest that his appetites are just as excessive as his extravagant airs.

Similarly, <em>every occasion when food is mentioned it is related to conflict, which might represent another carnal desire: sex.</em> For example Algernon’s opening discussion of wine with his servant and the guys’ climactic fight over muffins.

"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole
Stels [109]

The writer uses the historical fact that women have been denied the right to vote to convince the reader that the nation has not lived.

The Greek term for "word" is logos. It is the source of the term "logic." Aristotle refers to "reasoned discourse" or "the argument" when he talks about logos. When we try to persuade others of anything using logic rather than trying to appeal to their emotions, we are using logos.

Logos or Logical arguments include things like data, statistics, and common sense. For instance, the writer in this paragraph employs logos, or historical information, to show that by denying women the right to vote, the nation has not lived as they make up half of the population.
