English
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
3 0

Oscar Wilde mocks the Victorian society, he thinks the society is pretentious, full of self-importance, ignorance, and idleness. He thinks that upper-class Victorian society has some ideas that are nonsensical.

His character Ernest/Jack leads a double life, he was discovered as a baby in a handbag in the cloakroom of Victoria Station. He was adopted and leads a double life because he portrays himself as a major landowner and a number of servants that hide his poor past. He creates a false brother that is an irresponsible black-sheep, so he can lead a scandalous life without getting in trouble.

Jack has a respect for all these Victorian rules and societies social rules - such as marriage and the money that comes with it - even though he knows they are false the same way he is. He pretends to disapprove his own behaviors as a way to portray a right and just character to the Victorian society.

What is the theme of the show must go on how do specific detail shape the theme and affect Tessa‘s attitude as a story progresse
Alexandra [31]

The moral of the story The Show Must Go On is that although though some people and circumstances may seem like challenges when they first enter our life, we should remain positive and see them as chances to improve both ourselves and our job.

Tessa is first upset when she is partnered with Varick since, contrary to her expectations, he is a Midwestern guy who has never left his home in Ohio and neither resembles her nor is linked to any notable people. As the novel goes on, Varick, however, ends up being Tessa's saving grace.

He instils in her the value of seizing any chance that presents itself. When she found out that he had an open-ended script that he planned to build impromptu as he filmed for, she was astonished. She considered his suggestions to be a missed chance. As the plot develops, Tessa learns to value her partner's viewpoint.

She makes friends with Varick, sharing her work with him and talking about it. In the end, she learns to utilize the museum's refusal as an opportunity to get footage of the runners as they pass by, saving her film. Her film was well received by the judges, and she learns that "The Show Must Go On".
