Emotional appeal
President Lincoln calls to the listener's emotions.
It dosent say anything....
The answer is: He is pretending to be Ernest.
In Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," Algernon confronts Jack and the latter reveals that Ernest is his fictional irresponsible brother he pretends to be in order to have fun and disappear for a few days. Therefore, Algernon, who is deeply in love with Cecily, decides to show up at Jack's country state pretending to be Ernest.
The poem is trying to convey that in society we tend to only show ourselves in a positive way, hiding all the real emotions of sadness, grief, and sorrow from the outside world. In line 1 the poem states, “We wear the mask that grins and lies.” The “mask” is not a literal thing, it just means you are covering up your raw emotions of negative things such as sadness. In line 15-16 the poem states, “But let the world dream otherwise, we wear the mask!” The poet is trying to convey that we don’t let the outside world see the emotions we don’t feel good about. When we are depressed or upset we just put on a fake persona and make it seem like we are okay and happy all the time. Most of the time the so-called “happiest people” tend to be dealing with the most hardships. This poem perfectly encapsulates the idea of a fake facade towards society.
The theme explored mostly is that <span>there is no escape from our destinies and that we should embrace them without fear.
