In The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, there are two parallel plots, Jack faces many obstacles to his romantic unio
n with Gwendolen. One obstacle is presented by Lady Bracknell, who objects to what she refers to as Jack's "origins" (i.e. his inability to define his family background). Another obstacle is Gwendolen's obsession with the name "Ernest," since she does not know Jack's real name. What effect do these two parallel plots most likely on the text? Question 2 options:
It creates tension since is seems unlikely that Jack will be able to marry Gwendolen.
It creates surprise since Jack is not really Earnest.
It creates mystery about Jack and Gwendolen's future.
It creates humor since both men are pretending to be the same fictional character.
In this type of conflict, a character finds him or herself battling between two competing desires or selves, typically one good and one evil. You won't get a more obvious example than The Call of the Wild, in which the protagonist (in this case, a dog) is torn between a domesticated self and a wild self
