Dishonesty in The Importance of Being Earnest

Dishonesty relates to a lot of ideas in The Importance of Being Earnest. It relates to humor, because the characters would make dishonest yet funny remarks for example,when Algernon ate all of the cucumber sandwiches, and Lane lied for him. It also relates to Satirical social situations like marriage. Lady Bracknell is not honest with her husband when she has to go fetch Gwendolen from Jack's house. Algernon is also kind of dishonest when he says that Jack (Ernest) is one of the most Earnest people he knows. Jack is kind of opposite. He jokes around and is never really serious. Pleasure, is probably one of the most dishonest things in the play. Jack creates his "brother" Ernest so he can get away and be himself, Algernon creates Bunbury for the same reason, and all their lies eventually come back at them.

In my opinion, Oscar Wilde was trying to say that lying may help you in the present moment, but later, it could turn into a big mess. When the characters lied, it helped them at that time, but later on, the truth came out.

Animal Farm Project

This picture shows irony in the book Animal Farm, because in the beginning, all of the animals were anti-human, and then in the end they couldn't tell the men from the pigs. Through the course of the book, the pigs are gradually changing the commandments which foreshadows what is going on in this picture. The man and the pig symbolize the book's twisted way of showing leadership, and eventual equality.
