He uses it to describe behaviors that seem strange or unbecoming to him. However, he is also describing the play on a larger scale. In fact, The Importance of Being Earnest may foreshadow some of the elements of Theater of the Absurd, a movement that didn’t start until the 1950s. Jack is preoccupied with pointing out what is absurd or nonsense—what doesn’t fit into an organized view of the world. The absurdist philosophy argues that we cannot organize the world, that the world has no meaning, and that everything we do to try to give the world meaning is pointless. This seems related to Oscar Wilde’s argument that trivial things should be taken seriously and serious things trivially. The absurdists of the 1950s had a pretty dour view, one that doesn’t match with Wilde’s cheerful celebration of wit and pleasure, but are they making similar points
can I have the answer to number 20?
thanks:)
