The <span>significance of the full title of the play: The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People) is that, m</span>arriage plots and social comedy were also typical of 1890s literature.  The white, Anglo-Saxon, male society of the time provided many targets of complacency and aristocratic attitudes that playwrights such as Wilde could attack.

The title of Oscar Wilde's most successful play. The Importance of Being Earnest features a salient pun in the form of the word "Earnest",


Earnest means "honest", and "truthful"


At the very beginning of the play, we learn that Jack has created a convenient younger brother named Ernest. We don't know why he comes up with that particular name, but we’re guessing Jack had a laugh or two over it. Jack, Ernest, fools his lady friends, all of whom have an obsession with the name "Ernest." Both Gwendolen and Cecily are in love with that name, based on an assumption that boys named Ernest will be as honest as the name suggests.

The two Paths that Cross at the River
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

1. She should capitalize "two" because it is an adjective.

Explanation:

The above is the change that would be correct. In capitalization of titles, it is important to note that the first and last words of the title should be capitalized. Also, all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs should be capitalized. Articles (a, an, the), prepositions and coordinating conjunctions should be lowercased.

When "two" is used to modify a noun/noun phrases or pronouns, they act as adjectives. The "two" should be capitalized because it is an adjective, modifying the noun "Paths".
