The Importance of Being Earnest

When we first started doing to Victorian Era questions project i was really confused and wasn't sure on what to do. But then i started to get into the whole thing once i got how to do it. Eventually i have questions popping into my head that i could use. When you told us that we were going to read the book The Importance of Being Earnest in a way i was excited since i learned so much from doing the questions for it. The research really helped me on how their life was back then and how many different stereotypes or rules that were compared to the current days.

When i started to read the book it helped me a lot more from the questions to understand the book. If we wouldn't have had the whole assignment of doing the questions then i wouldn't know the whole story behind some of the people in the story or how different their life was compared to now. The one thing that i find interesting about this book is how they always seem to put down marriage like when Lady Bracknell says "I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know everything or nothing" on page 24, I think that she is saying that the ladies may want to be either smarter then them or them be smarter than the men are. Marriage has changed since the Victorian Era.
