The Importance of D.D Chasuble.
I D.D Chasuble, doctor of divinity am the rector on Jack’s estate.I decide who is christened.I am also the head of the church and the ONLY with an university degree signifying that all the other characters are nitwitted.
Jack and Algernon both approach me Dr. Chasuble, the reverent , the almighty,the omnipotent ,when they are in need for help their love life, desiring to be christened “Ernest.”
I am the key to life and religion.
I am the only character that can permit people to marry each other?Without me, the world will be full of people committing sins such as adultery.
Perhaps Algernon and Jack commit these types of sins.
I have the power to hold two ceremonies at a time,no other character can.
Consequently I have all the power I have secret romantic feelings for Miss Prism. The initials in my name stand for “Doctor of Divinity.” which demonstrates everything.I am God like what can I say?.
I enjoy strolls in the park
Jack?Algernon? they are just immature little youths.I have Ms Prism, the mature and attractive woman in the play.
Cecily is attentive, and Gwendolyn is just like her mother.
They are just women.I believe they are bad tempered however my Prism is just perfect.I have the propensity to share the same opinion as my love which is that young woman are green.I speak in metaphors.I am so smart what can I say?

Lady Bracknell speech to Lord Bracknell.
Lord Bracknell , I feel bound to tell you that today i experienced a quite absurd situation.A man so called Worthing who was not in my list of eligible young man attempted to marry our daughter , an unspoiled nature like Gwendolen.His aproach seemed sensible at first as Mr Worthing owned a country house,but I say my excitement did not endure long enough as he did not have any relations.Being part of the aristocracy has high demands.You are aware of this as much as me.Allowing this young man to marry our Gwendolen is surely not a wise or lucrative choice to make.Lord Bracknell it is apparent that we will decide who she will marry,if your health permits you.It appears to be that this mutual decision may be down to myself only.It is hardly a matter that our young daughter will be permitted to engage for herself regardless of the young man's demeanor.
I am unsure if there is anything close to insanity in the air of Hertfordshire but the number of engagements taking place are above the normal average.I am sure that you cannot disagree as I,Lady Bracknell of the British Aristocracy have a propensity to be correct.
Briefly after departing from Lady Harbury's house which resembled twenty years younger after her poor husband 's death, I decided to pay our young Algernon a short visit.Something was very strange.Indeed very eccentric that his friend Bunbury was ill again.Bunbury needs to make his mind up whether he wants to live or die.Algernon and yourself are aware that I do not approve any empathy towards invalids.But I must say that I am delighted that Algernon agreed to expurgate French songs from my programme.They make me feel ambivalent which is rather immaterial from my perspective.
Meanwhile Lay down,and do not sleep with covers on.I must say covers make you feel better as they assist the cold.

Gwendolen Diary extract
Dear Diary,
Today i witnessed the be perhaps the best day of my life.My dreams of marrying someone called Ernest are coming true , I am marrying someone called Ernest.Can you believe it?It all commenced when Mr Worthing started to talk the weather, which made me feel nervous as whenever people talk to me about the weather ,I always feel quite certain that they mean something else.I started to feel nervous.I told Mr Worthing to take advantage of Mamma's temporary absence and i advised him to do so.Oh dear diary, i am sure you are aware as much as me of Mamma's way of coming back suddently into a room that i discussed with her at numerous times.But suddenly he declared his love to me and asked me if i loved him.The only response i could give was 'Passionately'.
For an eccentric reason,my own Ernest asked me if I would still love him if his name was not Ernest.But i told him Ernest produces vibrations.It is such a divine name.The only safe name is Ernest!Silly Ernest he forgot to propose me.I told him quite frankly that i was fully determined to accept my own Ernest.
Mamma entered and disturbed our privacy by saying that Papa and her will decide who I will be engaged to.I reproached her but mamma instructed me to get in the carriage.The old fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
My dear diary help me , my eternal love for the name Ernest is much frankly immense.Mamma needs to understand that this name is divine!

How does Wilde create humour at the expense of his characters Gwendolen and Cecily?
The Importance of Being Earnest is a play that has been written throughout the Victorian period in 1895 by Oscar Wilde.In his play Wilde skewers the customs of the Victorian society by his use of witty line , and numerous devices.Women are also used very wisely to create humour as they are an important aspect of the play.Some of Wilde's techniques to create humour will be discussed below.
Gwendolen comes across as a pretentious character all along the play.The fact that she is so fixated on marrying someone named Earnest directly creates mirth in the auditorium.Her preoccupation is to pursue virtue and appearance which is similar to what upper classes had a propensity to do.Consequently not realising that she is being fooled by a man pretending to be named Earnest with an extensive deception.An important remark about Gwendolen and Cecily 's relationship is that throughout their argument the way the address each other transforms.Gwendolen first begins to address to Cecily as 'darling' which a noun used as an affectionate form of address to a 'beloved' person.This demonstrates a positive relationship between the two Victorians.Nevertheless , this dramatically changes throughout.Gwendolen commences to change the way she interacts with Cecily by calling her by'Miss Cardew'As a reader , I can directly establish that their relationship is deteriorating. The audience finds the argument between the two woman in Act 2 amusing as they are aware that they are quarrelling and blaming each other for something none of the two is actually responsible for.If Gwendolen is the product of London's upper class,Cecily has to be the antithesis. She is involved in the argument with Gwendolen and at numerous times, she is seen to be vehement.This is apparent when she demands Gwendolen if she desires some sugar in her tea.Gwendolen superciliously respond that it is not fashion able any more.This leads to Cecily angrily putting four lumps of sugar in her tea.This is amusing for audience as they understand that their quarrel isn't only verbally but physically too.Their gestures and actions clarify their feeling and emotions.The climax of their conversation has to be when Gwendolen says'From the moment i saw you ,i distrusted you.I felt you were false and deceitful'.The audience will find this line by Gwendolen really hilarious.This is a contrast to what she said when Cecily entered which was'Something tells me we are going to be good friend'My first impressions of people are never wrong'.The audience straight away is aware that this will not be the case and this creates humour.The title'The Importance of Being Earnest' plays good role for the audience to establish the nature of their argument.Moreover the fact that ,neither Jack or Algernon was earnest created this turmoil between the two female characters.This whole concept is also humorous to the audience.We could also use cross reference the fact that Jack portrayed Gwendolen at the beginning of Act 1 as 'sensible girl'The audience would therefore feel that wasn't the case as throughout act 2 , sensibility by the way she interacted with Gwendolen.This once again creates humour.
Throughout the play , Gwendolen and Cecily are manipulated by Wilde to create humour.Oscar Wilde uses the naivety of both girls to generate ambivalent reactions from the audience.The way they address each other changes through their emotions and this leads to the audience being amused.

Annotate: Showing K&U or language and literary features as well as context.
Gwendolen:Outside the family circle, papa, i am glad to say , is entirely unknown.I think it is quite as it should be.The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man.And certainly once a man begins to neglect his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not?And i don't like that.It makes men so very attractive.Cecily,mamma whose views on education are remarkably strict , has brought me up to be extremely short-sighted;it is part of he system;so do you mind my looking at you through my glasses?
Cecily: Oh! Not at all , Gwendolen , i am very fond of being looked at.
The importance of being Earnest is a play that has been written in 1895 by Oscar Wilde throughout Victorian Period.In this play Oscar Wilde uses different ways, to skewer the aristocracy and attitudes towards different things by the use of inversions and many other devices.
When Gwendolen says to Cecily:'Outside the family circle , papa , i am glad to say , is entirely unknown'.The first's impression of the reader is the wrong placement of the words in the sentence which could also be referred as syntax.The word 'unknown' is used in the end of the sentence instead of being normally placed in the middle in a standard sentence.The reason for this is Wilde is trying to build tension and give away the purpose of the sentence at the end to create an ambivalent response of the audience which is confusion and then make them laugh.At this particular moment , the word unknown is an adjective , which is an attribute and gives extra information about the subject which is the father.This line could also be interpreted as an inversion.The reason for this is , that Gwendolen seems to have a reluctant demeanor towards her father, however throughout the Victorian periods, fathers were the foundation of a family, and lead the family by having full respect.Consequently, this is an inversion of a normal society of the Victorian period.Tension is one the most prominent facet of drama , and Wilde utilizes it in an scrupulous way to get the response he is looking for.Gwendolen is also very opinionated , she gives her own opinion, which could be a good way for Wilde to lampoon her judgmental attitudes and therefore skewer the fact that she has been raised in a background where the members of her family are aristocrats.Furthermore , the quotation mentioned above is a complex sentence.This means it contains both a dependent and an independent clause.The quotation's dependent clause is 'Outside the family circle.' and the independent clause is 'is entirely unknown.'Moreover Gwendolen comes across as the dominant speaker in this dialogue, because it is apparent that she speaker more than Cecily which signify that she is in control of the topic or subject.Wilde once again could use this to criticize the fact that she is similar to her mother that i don't really appreciate'Lady Bracknell'.
Oscar Wilde employs another inversion throughout the dialogue, this is when Gwendolen says:'The home seems to me be the proper sphere of the men.'This firstly seems to make the audience bewildered as normally people have a propensity to believe the opposite.Once again , Gwendolen seems very opinionated which could give the reader a negative image of Gwendolen and maybe of even women in the play , as Lady Bracknell too makes us sense a feeling of dislike.Some would believe she could come across as sexist. Furthermore , She brings the idea of girl's being in control of the society which enhance Lady Bracknell's overpower in all decisions made.An association between her and her mother is directly drawn.There is also a possibility that this could be linked with the title'The importance of Being Earnest'In this case , she gave her opinion , and she is most likely to be honest.Honesty is an important aspect of Earnestness in my own belief , hence the Title could be interpreted in different ways.If referring to the context of the play , in Victorian periods , women were normally classified as less prominent than men.One example was they were allowed to be beaten by their husbands.By utilizing an inversion , Oscar Wilde portrays the society to be the other way around and therefore to be a society of craziness.
Oscar Wilde uses different way to criticize the attitudes of the society throughout the dialogue between Cecily and Gwendolen.Wilde uses inversions at numerous times throughout it , which makes it apparent at each time that the Victorians carried themselves in a different way that his descriptions.
