The play represents Wildes late Victorian view of the aristocracy‚ marriage‚ wit‚ and social life during the early 1900’s.

Wilde portrays the women on two separate levels‚ Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are young‚ sheltered‚ and without identity‚ while Lady Bracknell is the strong adult authority figure

This polarizing analysis stems from the need to create a clear distinction between classes‚ driven by the hunger to feel above the masses in an individualistic and refined way. This is a very common mental route taken by those in the film community‚ as well as by fans of music outside

In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury‚ there is an obvious conflict between the main character‚ Guy Montag‚ and his boss‚ Captain Beatty. The conflict develops as Montag’s ideas do. Once Montag is introduced to Clarisse McClellan‚ he begins to reevaluate his beliefs toward his society. “You always said‚ don’t face a problem‚ burn it.
