Assignment: Earnest Act 2 Writing Response
Directions: In Act Two of The Importance of Being Earnest, Wilde uses deception and mistaken identity to escalate the conflict and expose the absurdity of social expectations. Using two quotes from your dialectical journal, write a paragraph analyzing how characters rely on lies or invented personas to navigate love, identity, or societal pressure, and how Wilde uses these moments to satirize the values of Victorian society.
