<span>A pun is a literary device where the author takes advantage of two words that sound the same yet have different meanings.  This is done in effort to insert comedy into writing.  An example of a pun is “I told a story about static electricity, and it was shocking.”  The pun here is “shocking” because of how it means appalling as well as a jolt of electricity.  With that in mind we can see the title of the play has a pun—“Earnest.”  The pun exists because Earnest is both a name within the play as well as sincere. </span>

Now while the two were talking together, Paula Amma the crab who was next in the game scuttled off sideways and stepped into the
Delvig [45]

If the question is about the words "scuttled off" then the accurate answer would be imagery, more specifically, kinesthetic imagery, that is to say, imagery related to the vivid significance of the movement of the crab that implies both a physical gesture that reveals an emotional movement associated to that gesture. In literature, this is called "from motion to emotion". In this particular case, the movement of scuttling off implies that the patience of the crab is about to meet its limits and because the crab does no longer want to be subjected to an uncomfortable situation it translates its emotion into the motion of leaving. Furthermore, the following use of direct speech right after this motion completes the cycle of emotion to motion and then back to emotion.
