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>

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper." The front pattern does move and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. herself, trapped in her life.

Explanation:

The narrator of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a mentally ill woman - or, at least, that seems to be what her husband thinks and convinces her of. Trapped in her life, in her house, she is advised to get as much rest as possible and to control her vivid and wild imagination. She ends up developing a fixation for the wallpaper on the walls, in which she sees a woman that is a representation of herself, of her feelings and desperation. In the excerpt, she describes how the woman tries to climb out of the pattern, just to be strangled and suffocated. She is, in reality, describing the way she feels when she tries to be herself but is suffocated by others, their expectations and impositions. Just like the woman she sees, she wants to break free.

Your using the word dreadful do describe a perfect world. You are also using perfect.

Dreadfully means two things, one is very badly. Like the performers played the instruments dreadfully. The other is Extremely. Which would make sense in you case. And for the reason that perfect stands out is because there is no such thing as a perfect world. We are always going to make mistakes no matter what.
