results in the reader being able to have knowledge about the characters. Wildes’ use of puns and paradox gives the play a comedic style that allows the reader to be able to become engaged in the play. The way Wilde uses realistic situations and adds his wit and humor to the play keeps it interesting. It seems that Gwendolyn and Cecily could care less about the love that comes with a marriage but they are more concerned with the name of the person‚ this displays an essence of dark humor to me. Because

But if she had talked‚ she first would not have learned any lesson from Mrs. Flower‚ because each of them tie in to each other. An other person who wasn’t very good at teaching this common sense was her granny. She always used to harass her. What kind of grandma would do that? Another way where she could have learned “mother wit” earlier.

For I am taling about the line‚ "brevity is the soul of wit‚" in which Polonius is talking to the King and Queen. When I see "brevity is the soul of all wit‚" I translate it into Mr. Anderson’s words: "Brevity is the heart of success." As a fourth grader‚ this was difficult for me to understand. I would listen to each moral‚ and memorize each one with such

Beauty In the Tales from the Thousand and One Nights the women are represented as fraudulent‚ cunning characters using their sexuality to their benefit. Some of these women are portrayed as deceitful harlots‚ while others honestly use their sly wits and beauty to their advantage to obtain what they desire.

Their imitation of the language of their masters makes for an entertaining little exchange as they play around with words like "collier .choler .collar" (9) since the speech of the servants throughout
