Grammardog Guide to The Importance of Being Earnest by Mary Jane McKinney Pdf
Grammardog Teacher's Guide contains 16 quizzes for this satiric farce. All sentences are from the play. Wordplay, puns and wit are plentiful ("she is a monster without being a myth," "all good looks are a snare," "the shallow mask of manners," "If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life," "London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have of their own free choice remained thirty-five for years."). Allusions and symbols satirize Victorian attitudes on gender equality, moral virtue, social class, religion and marriage.
