THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

This is our LAST work of English literature together!  It makes me sad to type that, actually.  I have truly enjoyed exploring classics together and teaching you this past year.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

First performed on Valentine's Day, 1895 in London.
A farcical comedy, it touches on many of the same themes as The Rape of the Lock (written in 1714) and uses many of the same devices.  Both stories take place in and around London.

Terms to know and look out for:
Puns/double entendres
Irony-both situational and verbal
Epigrams/Witty dalogue
Foils

Themes to follow:
Marriage
Classism
Fictious self vs. True self
Fantasy vs. Reality*
Elite (habits and weaknesses)
Prejudice
Deception

Oscar Wilde:  Irish writer and considered one of the most popular playwrights in London.

*possible short answer question on exam

Highlights of Canto III:

Quiz:  look at the questions from the quiz; they are all from key moments in Canto III.

Hyperbole, Anaphora and Allusion:  we found examples in Canto III - all prevalent devises used throughout the poem.

Lines 139-148 - we talked about the possible meaning and greater significance.

Take note of the Baron's response to his victory - telling of his character.

Highlights of Canto IV:

What is the significance of the first 2 lines?

Who do we meet in the underworld?  Ill Nature. What is she like?  Who travels to the underworld?  Umbriel. Can you picture him?  What does he bring back from the underworld?   How is Belinda's disposition different from the beginning of Act IV compared to the end of Act IV?  Who is Thelestris?

Today's lesson on Canto I and II:

I read the Canto's out loud in class and we talked along the way.  We paid particular attention to the (1) poetic sound and Pope's intentional combination of (2) epic conventions with (3) absurd subject matter.

Please get notes from a classmate if you were absent today.

ROTL is a MOCK epic!  Read this excerpt below to remind yourselves of conventional epic characteristics.  If you know the conventions,  Pope's humor will be more obvious.  

This taken from http://www.cummingsstudyguides.net/Guides2/Pope.html:

Because a mock-epic parodies a classical epic, it uses the same conventions, or formulas, as the classical epic--but usually in a humorous way. For example, a convention of many classical epics is a sea voyage in which perils confront the hero at every turn. In The Rape of the Lock, the sea voyage is Belinda's boat trip up the Thames River. Her guardian sylph, Ariel, sees "black omens" that foretell disasters for Belinda even though the waves flow smoothly and the winds blow gently. Will she stain her dress? Lose her honor or her necklace? Miss a masquerade? Forget her prayers? So frightful are the omens that Ariel summons 50 of his companion spirits to guard Belinda's petticoat, as well as the ringlets of her hair. Following are examples of the epic conventions that Pope parodies: 

• Invocation of the Muse: In ancient Greece and Rome, poets had always requested “the muse” to fire them with creative genius when they began long narrative poems, or epics, about godlike heroes and villains. In Greek mythology, there were nine muses, all sisters, who were believed to inspire poets, historians, flutists, dancers, singers, astronomers, philosophers, and other thinkers and artists. If one wanted to write a great poem, play a musical instrument with bravado, or develop a grand scientific or philosophical theory, he would ask for help from a muse. When a writer asked for help, he was said to be “invoking the muse.” The muse of epic poetry was named Calliope [kuh LY uh pe]. In "The Rape of the Lock,"Pope does not invoke a goddess; instead, he invokes his friend, John Caryll (spelled CARYL in the poem), who had asked Pope to write a literary work focusing on an event (the snipping of a lock of hair) that turned the members of two families--the Petres and the Fermors--into bitter enemies. Caryll thought that poking fun at the incident would reconcile the families by showing them how trivial the incident was.  
• Division of the Poem Into Books or Cantos: The traditional epic is long, requiring several days several days of reading. Dante's Divine Comedy, for example, contains 34 cantos. When printed, the work consists of a book about two inches thick . Pope, of course, presents only five cantos containing a total of fewer than 600 lines. Such miniaturizing helps Pope demonstrate the smallness or pettiness of the behavior exhibited by the main characters in the poem.    
• Descriptions of Soldiers Preparing for Battle: In The Iliad, Homer describes in considerable detail the armor and weaponry of the great Achilles, as well as the battlefield trappings of other heroes. In The Rape of the Lock, Pope describes Belinda preparing herself with combs and pins–with "Puffs, Powders, Patches"–noting that "Now awful Beauty puts on all its Arms."   
• Descriptions of Heroic Deeds: While Homer describes the exploits of his heroes during the Trojan War, Pope describes the "exploits" of Belinda and the Baron during a card game called Ombre, which involves three players and a deck of 40 cards. 
• Account of a Great Sea Voyage: In The Odyssey, Odysseus (also known as Ulysses) travels the seas between Troy and Greece, encountering many perils. In The Aeneid, Aeneas travels the seas between Troy and Rome, also encountering perils. In The Rape of the Lock, Belinda travels up the Thames in a boat. 
• Participation of Deities or Spirits in the Action: In The Rape of the Lock--as in The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Aeneid, The Divine Comedy, and Paradise Lost--supernatural beings take part in the action.  
• Presentation of Scenes in the Underworld: Like supernatural beings in classical epics, the gnome Umbriel visits the Underworld in The Rape of the Lock.
