Compare and contrast oscar wilde's point of view from ernest's point of view of victorian society

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.

Answer:

C) The coach spoke with Sam after the game.

C) merges with

(C) Students and teachers throw away a lot of used paper

(A) The king sat high up on his ceremonial chair

Explanation:

1)

For changing a passive voice of verb tenses into active voice.

  • Change object of the tense into subject, and write it in subject's place
  • Change subject into object and use it in object's place.
  • Identify the tense from helping verb(s) used in the passive voice, and use that tense in active voice. (use of " only <em>was</em>" in passive voice shows that this is past indefinite tense.

2)

Present can not destroy or control the future. It does not rally around future (rally around means to join or support someone in a difficult task). Present fuses or merges with future. For example some event of tomorrow will become a present moment when that time comes.

3)

Text of the point B has concluded the first part about what recycling program is and how other schools organize it. The author concludes this paragraph by saying that they needed a recycling program of that type in their school. The text from point C is talking about strategies to arrange that program in their school. It is here when a new idea starts; and hence from here it should be made a new paragraph.

4)

The text before point A is the introduction to a state, king and his place for judging the accused. This part describes the setting of the story. From point A onward the procedure of trying and punishing an accused person is described. It is here (point A), where a new idea/information is presented. So the paragraph should be split into two separate ones from this point.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

B). Men made the decisions regarding marriage and women did not.

C). Women's feelings about love were not traditionally considered.

D). Women in traditional society wanted to change their role​.

Explanation:

The passage displays how women were traditionally considered inferior sex. They had been marginalized and suppressed for years and the passage aims to display that the women did not have an equal right to choose their life partners as the men had. Their emotions of love were not taken into consideration but the men possessed this right too. Basically, the women were the victims of gender discrimination in the traditional society and thus, they had an innate desire to change their role in society and get equal rights. Thus, <u>options B, C, and D</u> are the correct answers.
