This excerpt best emphasizes the way that Americans felt abandoned by the wealthy elite and government: "<span>Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime?"

The excerpt uses the metaphor of having a friend from the past that a person forgot already because the person has seen better opportunities or is higher up in the rank. Much the same as how the elite and the government treat those people who are part of the masses. </span>

What makes The Importance of Being Earnest a comedy of manners?
Helga [31]
What makes <em>The Importance of Being Earnest </em>a comedy of manners is the way it satirized the behavior of the Victorian aristocracy.
It mocks the rich, and shows how shallow and inconsiderate they are, thinking only about trivial things.
