GWENDOLEN (Looking round.): Quite a well-kept garden this is, Miss Cardew. CECILY: So glad you like it, Miss Fairfax.
stiks02 [169]

1. I believe the correct answer is: social status.

 

     In these lines from the play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Gwendolen Fairfax says that people who live in the country lack social status.

     Gwendelon is a big-city (London in this case), sophisticated woman who views the world with the shortsightedness of the aristocratic society of Victorian era, which Oscar Wilde tend to critic. Limited by her installed aristocratic norms, Gwendelon says that she can’t grasp the idea that someone of importance can live in the country (“how anybody manages to exist in the country, if anybody who is anybody does.”) as the country lacks the social status, which is reserved for the big cities.

 

2. I believe the correct answer is: morally debased.

 

     In these lines from the play “The Importance of Being Earnest”, written by Oscar Wild, Cecily indicates that people in the city are morally debased.

     Cecily Cardew is the foil character, contrast, of the Gwendelon Fairfox, which we can see in her protectiveness of the country life, both its setting and people. She replays to Gwendelons comments of the lack of social status in country life by calling people in the city “agricultural depressed”, meaning that their decrease in moral value spread like and illness, almost like an epidemic even.
