My first point is about how they are genuinely in love and I wrote on how they are defing the culture by really being in love and how they love each other over all the thousands of poeple in the world, let alone in London.
The I wrote about how their relatioinship was based on high expectations because it was a better topic to write on than the nieveness. I wrote on how it is not very likely that before she knew about him that there is not very likely that someone was even named Ernest or that he would be a likable person.
That Gwendolyn could fall in love with an Ernest is unlikely plus it is based on lies. Ernest doesn't even exist in the begining of the play. Jack isn't willing to tell Gwendolyn the truth about his name and if they lived in this century, their relationship would be doomed because of lack of trust.
I will also add in how Jack and Gwendolyn are the only couple in the play who genuinely love each other and are open about it. Maybe Oscar Wilde put this relationship in the play to tell his readers what he thinks marrige should be about.

I think your points are very good, but I also think you should relate/compare your points to love and relationships in the Victorian Era since in our thesis we stated, "in order to convey the stereotypical relationships in the Victorian Era." In your transition you might want to say how their relationship is open and genuine and for the referal/transition to mine you could say how Algy/Cecily have a relationship that is untrue and over-the-top.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Linsie on the comparing toward the Victorian Era. I also want to note that you should add in the beggining wht relationship you are talking about and how they are exaggerated to Victorian relationship.
