    The Dangers of being Certain Though doubt has always held a negative connotation in my mind, a dark shadow that looms over certainty, truth, and progress, John Patrick Shanley, through his film, not only claims but makes us feel quite the opposite: that doubt is in fact a valuable asset in gaining an objective view when determining “good” from “bad” and discovering the truth. Stanley utilises the two main characters in his film to depict the dangers of acting upon certainty without doubt. I will be exploring two research questions within my reflection: “How does relative societal rules define what is good and bad?” and “To what degree does self interest drive us to be bad?” through the comparison of the the two main characters Sister Aloysius…

    In Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, the differentiation between the town and the country is a great, lurking source of conflict between characters, often in regards to the class-distinction characteristic of Victorian society. Location proves to be a serious contention of Lady Bracknell’s as she considers Jack’s engagement to Gwendolen, assumptions about the city and country exacerbate the rift in Gwendolen and Cecily’s friendship, and the obligations of both places cause the creation of Ernest Worthing and Mr. Bunbury by Jack and Algernon in order to escape from their respective settings. While Wilde’s emphasis on the contrast of the town and the country is subtle, it is integral to the plotline of the play and the thoughts and actions of its characters. This juxtaposition creates tension that leads to the unraveling of Jack and Algernon’s double lives, foreshadowing and surrounding the climatic moments of the play.…

    Due to their categorizations as a social tragedy and a comedy of manners, respectively, A Doll’s House and The Importance of Being Earnest are immediately identified with many differences. However, as a result of the plays’ intertwining themes that suggest the journey to contentment through the determination of a person to appease to pressures given by society will ultimately lead to that person’s downfall according to societal standards, a common ground is found. Ironically, it is the differences in the plays that reveal the connections, through the riddling of lies, a continued man versus society conflict, as well as the idea of self denial. In A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, Nora, the protagonist is the driving force of the dramatic experience.…

    The Importance of Being Earnest is a play about two young fellows in 19th century England who lead double lives and their lies have in the long run caught up to them as a result of their affection. While it appears to be clear to me that the play is a parody of Victorian ethics and values in the silliness of the characters and the plot, what I discover all the more intriguing is Wilde's utilization of gender role reversal. By having his female characters go up against the parts of men and his male characters go up against the parts of ladies, I find that that Wilde does a very nice job turning Victorian values upside down and demonstrating their flaws. Lady Bracknell appears to encapsulate this role reversal more than all of the other characters.…

    Individuality in The Importance of Being Earnest Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest takes place in the Victorian Era in Europe, showcasing the strict societal rules and the pressure they cause to attempt to remove individuality from the society by having characters follow the proper upper class stereotypes (being rude to lower class, choosing marriages for money, etc.) By showing the upper class standards and stereotypical snobby behavior through multiple characters, Wilde highlights the few characters who choose to stand out and maintain their individuality by means such as trying to do whatever makes them happy or completely disregarding the social norms. Many characters such as Jack, an upper class man living in the Victorian era, stand out from the crowd by choosing to value living to seek his own happiness, which is different from the Victorian era expectation of being motivated by wealth and status since happiness doesn’t always include these. By following his heart, he maintains individuality from many of the other upper class characters. During the Victorian era, huge weight was placed on marriage.…

    One’s personal identity what either allows or inhibits one from interacting with society in its entirety. However, the societal class in which a character was born, or thrust, into is of as much importance, if not more, as a character’s personal sense of self. Both Oscar Wilde’s, “The Importance of Being Earnest” and Robert Louis Stevenson’s, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” develop themes around the central ideology of self-identity versus how an entire society views the individual. “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a sharp, satirical play that quickly and effectively points out the flaws and hypocrisy of the wealthy upper class as the focus remains largely on how society views and, therefore, forms opinions of the individual. The Victorian Age serves as a shining example of society’s upper class and their infatuation with themselves.…
