live without experiencing love. On the other hand though‚ love is just as often made a mockery of; it’s depicted as a useless feeling that only distracts people from logic and rational thinking. In The Importance of Being Earnest‚ a play by Oscar Wilde set in Victorian England‚ love is mocked which is evident in Cecily’s lust for Ernest‚ Gwendolen’s love for the name Ernest and Algernon’s ideas of marriage.

3 October 2012 Oscar Wilde‚ Victorian or Anti-Victorian? Oscar Wilde was a writer during the end of the Victorian era.

“If friendship has an opposite‚ it’s war.”(183) Vietnam; Pledge Allegiance‚ by Chris Lynch is an action packed‚ death craving‚ full-of-friendships type of book.

By using a metaphor such as “joy of a caged bird” Wilde is able to conjure the image of Sibyl as the bird trapped in a cage‚ purely for the enjoyment of an onlooker such as Dorian‚ the cage is her stage for her to please her master. This is significant in understanding why their relationship breaks down after her dismal performance in the theatre. A caged bird that is not entertaining to watch is not worth keeping
