The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest

Please write on one of the follow topics, using specific examples and evidence from the text, and One Secondary Source: a scholarly article or the Introduction to the novel by Samuel Gladden. You may use both if you wish. The goal of this assignment is to show your critical analysis of, and engagement with, The Importance of Being Earnest, putting to use the terms and concepts already discussed in class (but not simply repeating the ideas already discussed in class). You will be evaluated on your understanding and insight into the play; your grasp, accuracy of representation, and integration of the critic’s comments into your own argument; and the form, structure, and clarity of your paper.
