qualities does the narrator stress? The narrator stresses her modesty. When we are first introduced to her‚ he describes that she is simply dressed‚ polite‚ and has a modesty that could not go unnoticed. This trait’s importance in the story is very ironic because her husband and the man (Mr. Kelada) he was arguing with are the exact opposite. They cannot admit when they are wrong‚ even when they know they are and that’s why Mr. Kelada gets made a fool of in front of everyone‚ deservingly so. However

Act I‚ when the audience has just witnessed an argument that appears to foretell the doom of the Chilterns’ marriage. Horrified‚ Sir Robert sits in the dark‚ the tapestry left lit by the chandelier. In this case then‚ the image of Love’s victory is ironic as it would seem that intrigue is poised to ruin conjugal bliss. We can chart one more mention of the Boucher tapestry in Act II.

Moreover‚ Victor’s emotive expression “the change was so rapid‚ the overthrow so complete!” is ironic in its negative reference to the expedience of the Industrial Revolution and his own metaphorical function as Faustian figure‚ repudiating Erasmus Darwin’s evolutionary theory and‚ by extension‚ challenging the established values of the era.
