<em>Restoration comedy</em> was written and performed from 1660 to 1710.
Oscar Wilde's <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em> has its fair share of elements from this type of comedy, which are:
- the intricacy in plots, which brought depth to every character on the play and led to multiple conflicts.
- the absence of heroes and the predominance of flawed characters who had many weaknesses.
- the lack of emotion that leads to character development. They remain the same.
Answer:
D. "Bill and me figured that Ebenezer would melt down for a ransom of two thousand dollars to a cent."
Explanation:
In O. Henry's short story "The Ransom of Red Chief", Bill and Sam decide to kidnap the son of "an important citizen", Ebenezer Dorset, in order to gain $2000 needed for their fraudulent affairs.
But, their plan soon falls to pieces when they discover that they just can't handle the boy who is having fun with the kidnappers and keeps playing pranks on them.
Unable to control the boy's behaviour, Bill and Sam, lower the ransom, hoping that they will get rid of the boy sooner that way.
However, familiar with his son's character, restlessness and all the mischiefs he's capable of, Ebenezer makes a counterproposal to the kidnappers; he'll take the kid back if they pay him $250 for that.
This is the best example of irony in this story, since the kidnappers didn't get what they hoped for and even ended up losing some of their money.
