Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.

English
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Lady Bracknell says her maid is trustworthy but has to bribe her to get help.

Lady Bracknell says it is wrong to be honest with her husband.

The names of the college and class seem reasonable to Gwendolen’s father.

Explanation:

The three statements above are a representation of sharp critique of Victorian society present in the book 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'

The first statement reveals <u>how deep the corruption of people runs where bribing a person who is considered trustworthy</u> is standard practice.

The second statement says <u>the truth about much coveted Victorian family values </u>in which the Lady willfully is not honest with her husband.

The names of the college and Course<u> are absurd  to the point of utilitarian extremity of Victorian thought.</u>

Explain how the use of specific poetic devices makes “Counting Small-boned Bodies” satirical.
marishachu [46]
<span>"Counting Small-Boned Bodies" is a short poem of ten lines and, as its title suggests, plays upon official body counts of dead Vietnamese soldiers. The poem's first line, "Let's count the bodies over again," is followed by three tercets, each of which begins with the same line: "If we could only make the bodies smaller." That condition granted, Bly postulates three successive images: a plain of skulls in the moonlight, the bodies "in front of us on a desk," and a body fit into a finger ring which would be, in the poem's last words, "a keepsake forever." One notes in this that Bly uses imagery not unlike that of the pre-Vietnam poems, especially in the image of the moonlit plain.</span>
