The Importance Of Being Ernest Movie Analysis

I sit here in this half empty room listening to music. I try to think of what keepsakes to use for my Opus project. This project isn 't hard, but very tedious and time consuming. I already found four objects to use and wrote the paragraphs about them. I really hope what I wrote about them is enough.
I follow along in my book, but the movie jumps and lose where I am. I give up following along, so I just watch the movie. I am completely enthralled in the movie and the story line. The Importance of being Earnest is the movie we are watching. The movie is done and everyone is mind blown. Ernest is actually named Jack. Ernest proposes to Gwendolen who was destined to fall in love with a man named Ernest, but that 's not his real name. Algernon Moncrieff is Ernest 's best friend and Gwendolen cousin, who then changes his name to Ernest when he goes to the country to be with Cecily, whom Jack takes care of. Algernon Ernest proposes to Cecily, who is also destined to fall in love with a man named Ernest. Gwendolen is on her way to Jack 's house in the country to see Jack Ernest. This is confusing already. Both of the girls find out that they were lying about their name and then shun them, but then accept their apology.

I was not very happy being placed in this class. I come in a week and a half behind, and the period they placed me in for Brit Lit was supposed to be my open period. Not only did this class take over my open period, but it 's a yearlong class. Why didn 't they just put me in a semester long class? The only good part of this was the teacher. I heard from people that she was crazy and mean at first, but she really mellowed down this week. Also that she is actually a really chill and fun teacher. I really hope that this is going to be a fun class since I 'm going have it for the entire year

    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.…

    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.…

Such an act may appear to be a de minimis but forsooth, the setting that people are put into has a prominent effect on the person. In the dynamic play by Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, the setting is more than a mere backdrop that sets the mood for the play; instead, Wilde initiates a setting that acts as a nonhuman character in the play. That is, the setting, similar to the characters in the play in its essentiality, affects the characters and their actions in a plethora of ways. The effect of the setting in the play is so puissant that if these characters were to be put in a different setting and say their lines at a different…
