The Importance Of Being Ernest

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

Instead, they added events to the movie that never happened in the book, and some of the events that occurred in the book, never occurred in the movie. For instance, in the novel, Owen dies a lieutenant, and in the movie, he dies as a boy. Also, in the movie, Simon speaks out loud during Mass and gets punished by the reverend. This never happened in the novel. I liked that the movie shows how powerful Owen and John’s friendship was; you could really tell they cared about each other.

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more

Oscar Wilde’s play entitled “The Importance of Being Earnest” illustrates the concept of dual personality, fantasy, love, and lies. Jack, Algernon, Gwendolyn, and Cecily all live in lies. They are manipulated by their fantasies and desire for perfect relationship and love. Jack, the protagonist in the play, is the root of lies because of his imaginary brother named Earnest. Algernon uses the name to win Cecily, while Gwendolyn and Cecily are both fascinated by this name because it expresses strength and perfection of manhood. Due to their search and desire to have Earnest, the male and female characters escape from the reality. Therefore, Wilde in The Importance of Being Earnest portrays a gender doubled

Today, deceitfulness is portrayed as a negative trait for anyone to have; society looks down on deceptive people. As a result, many fail to realize that deception does have a valuable purpose, and they are forced to choose between being accepted in society or being themselves. In the Importance of Being Earnest, Jack, Algernon, and Cecily reveal that the true purpose of deception is to help one escape societal roles while still being acceptable in society.

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

One of the main differences between the movie and book is in the movie the detail was lacking. The book described how Ender was thinking and lengthened the story. While the movie showed the main concrete details but didn't explain everything the book did. This was important because it showed the symbolism in the book and the movie lacked crucial information. Another difference is Peter's actions after the defeat of the buggers.

In my opinion some of these changes made the story more fun to watch and more action packed. But some of these changes made the movie leave out a lot of detail and some parts and got confused because it skipped a scene in the book. I'm glad they added all these similarities because if they had not then it would have left out a lot of information about the characters and Information about the city and plot of the movie and

No one wants to be described as a deceitful person. When people utilize deception, they are often deemed liars, tricksters, or cheaters instead of being praised for their cleverness. As a result, many people are afraid to deceive others and fail to realize that deceit is actually a valuable skill for one to have. In the Importance of Being Earnest, Jack, Algernon, and Cecily reveal that the true purpose of deception is to help one escape societal roles while still being acceptable in society.

It is a well known phenomenon that many authors' lives are reflected through a character in their work. In Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, the double life, or double identity, can be seen as the central metaphor in the play, epitomized in Algernon's creation of "Bunbury" or "Bunburying". As this term is the only fictitious word employed throughout the text, it is crucial to critically analyze not only its use and implications, but more importantly, the character who coins the term; Algernon Moncrieff. In addition, it is also significant to note the marked differences between Algernon and Jack's perceptions of the notion of bunburying, as it further develops Algernon's character within the text. But perhaps the single most

In the play, “The Importance of being Earnest,” Jack and Algernon use deception to live two separate lives and avoid what they believe to be unpleasant situations. Jack creates his brother “Ernest,” so that he can leave the country, where he is guardian over Cecily, when he wishes to visit the city. Algernon creates his friend “Bunbury,” so that he can leave the city when he does not care to participate in family dining and activities. The play also has a few other characters that live a life with a secret past, that play an important role in the ending. Although Jack and Algernon use deception to live a separate life outside of their normal life, they use it to win the hearts and become engaged to their loves. What about other characters’ deception?

Earnestness, which implies seriousness or sincerity, is the great enemy of morality in The Importance of Being Earnest. Earnestness can take many forms, including boringness, solemnity, pomposity, complacency, smugness, self-righteousness, and sense of duty, all of which Wilde saw as hallmarks of the Victorian character. When characters in the play use the word serious, they tend to mean “trivial,” and vice versa. For example, Algernon thinks it “shallow” for people not to be “serious” about meals, and Gwendolen believes, “In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity is the vital thing.”

In “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde, Jack and Algernon, are two single men. Jack plays a double life in which he goes by the name of Earnest in the town and Jack in the country. Jack falls in love with Gwendolen who is Algernon’s cousin. Gwendolen falls in love with Jack because his name is Earnest. Then Algernon shows up to Jack’s estate and introduces himself as Earnest, Jack’s made up brother. Algernon falls in love with Cecily who is Jack’s ward. Cecily falls in love with Algernon because his name is Earnest. Both men want to change their

In the Importance of Being Earnest, two characters, Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing fall in love with two women, Cecily Cardew and Gwendolyn Fairfax. However, from the start of the romance there are lies and deceit. Jack and Algernon pretend to carry on the names of “Ernest” instead of telling their true names to the women. They do this so they can escape their real lives and instead lead a double life. The two couples fall in love with each other and the women forgive the men eventually for their lies. In the next fifteen years, the couples will grow a strong bond and have a healthy marriage.
