The significance of the full title of the play: The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People) is that, marriage 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<span>",

Earnest means </span><span>"<span>honest", and "truthful"

</span></span>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,<span> 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.

Hope this helps!

Why are the elements of an autobiographical narrative similar to those of a short story?
Alenkinab [10]
I believe the correct answer is <span>B. Because most writing forms include narratives.

The first and last options aren't correct because an autobiographical narrative depicts real events from the writer's life, whereas a short story is fictional, which means the events and characters aren't real (and it doesn't have to be written in the 1st person).

The third option can be correct, but not in every case. Some of the best short stories don't include causes and effects. Actually, the causal relations are often concealed, and require a specific interpretation to explain them.

However, there is a narrative in both these forms. It means that they have a plot - introduction, climax, resolution (although they don't need to happen in a chronological order).</span>

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Glory, praise and honor

Explanation:

The poem shows that soldiers went to war with the certainty that they were defending their homeland and being faithful to their nation. For this reason, dying on the battlefield was a privilege, as it was a patriotic sacrifice that had allowed the soldier to receive honor for your courage, praise for your sacrifice and glory for the fight which you did not run away from.
