Through Lady Bracknell's monologue, Wilde is mocking the hypocrisy of the Victorian society and their thoughts that money is the most important thing in life. Lady Bracknell didn't approve of Cecily and her marriage to Jack until she hears that Cecily is going to inherit a lot of money when she comes of age.

Lady Bracknell is a bit dissatisfied with Cecily but when she heard about Cecily’s inheritance, she gave her consent right away in Cecily and Algernon’s engagement. Wilde only showed here the discrimination when it comes to marriage: Social class and economic standing matters in marrying a person and the underdog remains at the bottom.

The root mal means bad or evil. Can you defermine what the word maleficent means by using
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The word maleficent means causing harm especially by supernatural means, and we can determine this because the root 'mal' means evil as stated, and maleficent is a term used for evil occurences (specifically in movies and stuff)

Explanation:

So you can determine that the adjective describes something evil or bad because of the use of the root :) Sorry if this isn't specific enough, but it's quite straight forward to me at least so I don't know how to elaborate if you need a more formal answer
