Read the excerpt from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest. Cecily. [Rather shy and confidingly.] Dearest Gwendolen, there

is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you. Our little county newspaper is sure to chronicle the fact next week. Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married. Gwendolen. [Quite politely, rising.] My darling Cecily, I think there must be some slight error. Mr. Ernest Worthing is engaged to me. The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday at the latest.
Part of this excerpt would be considered an understatement because

when Cecily says, “There is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you,” she actually does have a reason to keep it a secret.

when Cecily says, “Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married,” she is actually making a joke.

when Gwendolen says, “I think there must be some slight error,” she is actually referring to the large error of Cecily saying she is engaged to Ernest.

when Gwendolen says, “The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday,” she is not telling the truth.

Explain why this quote is inspirational: “It’s less about fitting in, […] I’m proud of what grows out of my head.”
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

This is very inspirational because it is talking about being unique. You don't <em>have </em>to fit. You just be you. And you should be proud of who you are because there can be no one else that can take your place.
