Question

Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.

Answer 1

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 how deep the corruption of people runs where bribing a person who is considered trustworthy is standard practice.

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

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