To finish up our look at Oscar Wilde, Victorianism, and The Importance of Being Earnest, we analyzed the definition of a gentleman and how this revealed society's class structure, belief system, and overall behaviors. Then, we looked at the classification of women and how our characters fit into the categorizations of power, victim, desired, ideal, and miscellaneous. Last, we webbed Wilde's ideas about class, marriage, literature, truth, religion, city and country life, and education. Overall, Wilde saw a plethora of flaws surrounding the upper class existence of the British nobility.
Thursday begins the first day of the full test.
