Why did Oscar Wilde most likely use stock character such as dandies in his works

English
2 answers:
ryzh [129]3 years ago

Answer:

to attack the fake morality and superficiality he saw in Victorian society.

Explanation:

A dandy is an overdressed, trivial, and ineffectual man who is most interested in other people's perceptions.

In the play <u>The Importance of Being Earnest</u>, Wilde portrays his character Algernon as a dandy.

Algernon is shown to be almost obsessed with his appearance. For example, he wants his neckties and buttonholes always to be prim and proper. Although Algernon is also charming, witty, and smart, he does not seem to recognize any moral duty or responsibility.

Is “that are like two pieces of pale blue-green ice” a subordinate or independent clause?
earnstyle [38]
I think it’s subordinate since it can’t stand on its own. Subordinates add more information to the sentence.

Is the pronoun in the sentence reflexive, intensive, both, or neither? Jason finished the remodeling himself
EleoNora [17]
The pronoun <em>himself </em>is an intensive pronoun only, it is not reflexive.
Intensive pronouns are used to place emphasis on the subject of a sentence. Here, we want to emphasize that Jason did the whole work on his own. You can easily deduce whether a pronoun is intensive or reflexive if you remove it from the sentence - if the sentence still makes sense, then the pronoun is intensive because they are not essential in sentences. If the sentence no longer makes sense, it means that the pronoun is reflexive.
Here, if you take out the pronoun, the sentence will go like this:
Jason finished the remodeling.
As you can see, the sentence still makes perfect sense, which is why the pronoun is intensive.
