Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest explore the archetypal values of aristocracy, including marriage, women and identity. Austen and Wilde converge in presenting opinions on marriage through humour and contrasting characters. Wilde explores the role of women through reversal and dialogue, while Austen explores the same idea with irony and symbolism. The incorporation of irony and anagnorisis allow both authors to criticise the role of…

feels inside and how she feels guilty: “Yet her self- blame is an implicit assertion of agency on her part. It not only disarms male reproach by characterizing her as a "good" woman, but affirms her responsibility (and thus agency) in her original elopement” (Blondell 1). The author of this article explains how being a good woman in a sarcastic tone because the author blames Helen too of what happened.

The Last Resort The Awakening by Kate Chopin was at one time considered to be scandalous by many critics in 1899.
