Restoration Comedy was the result of a revival of the theatre 1660, aftering being banned during the Puritan days of England.
The genre was quite raunchy for the time, and mocked many elements of contemporary British society, like Wilde's play did. It also did not attempt to impose a morality on its works, preferring rather to create art for the sake of art, like The Importance of Being Earnest.
Answer:
14. Is Adventure; obstacles; damsels in distress.
15. is He does not think highly of women in general.
16. is The Knight committed a terrible crime.
Explanation:
Basically, the knight in "The Wife of Bath" had found a woman by a river, ("damsel in distress"), and sought to take advantage of her, because he did not believe women are of importance, or really matter, so he inevitably raped her, which is why 16. is what it is, because his action with the woman by the river, was a crime, and a terrible thing.
Hope this helped.
In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.
So, I would say that the ironic parts are:
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, -
Past the houses, past the headlands,
<span>Into deep eternity!</span>
You didn’t list any of the poems you’ve studied so I can’t be much help, sorry
