An example of how Wilde pokes fun at the upper-class lifestyle is "Algernon says it is hard work to live in this leisurely manner".

In <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em>,<u> Jack and Algernon are described as wealthy gentlemen</u>. Moreover, they come from important families. In this excerpt, <u>Wilde uses Algernon and his belief that doing nothing is hard work to satirize the upper-class; however, Wilde does not seek to make fun of mere individuals but to make fun of this society as a whole</u>. The author's aim throughout the play is to amuse and to make fun of the Victorian upper class.

Summary of hundredth dove​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

<em>Summary of hundredth dove​:</em>

It is a tale of the misuse of power and the triumph/victory of love, which are dominating themes in human life. This story is about a man who values his word more than anything.

A man named Hugh (fowler) is ordered to capture a hundred doves in one week for his king's wedding. This task seems nearly impossible for almost anybody else, but Hugh is determined to do his best. After all, he is the King's Fowler and has to obey orders.

Hugh catches many fat doves a day. One keeps getting away, and he is determined to catch it. After 5 tiring days of hunting, he has still not caught the slim white dove that keeps getting out of his grasp. This is when the part gets much worse for Hugh. The fifth day comes and he still does not catch the bird. In anger, he kills it instead.

Some parts of symbolism almost fit in a perfect way. A dove is a symbol of romance, and that is what the story is mainly based on. From what the story says it seems to be about spring to summertime, which is when romances take place. The parts of the King's house also sound like a romance. That is also a big symbol.
