Recommended: The role of women in the works of Jane Austen

The criticism to the society is evident in both authors; Wilde for his part expressed all through the comedy and masquerades all in a form of satire and Austen meanwhile criticized the position of women of her time and how society forces them to procure a good marriage to ensure its own stability.
This screwball comedy and intrigue, developed in England in the Victorian era. Wilde shows off his expertise to ridicule the superficial English society, in an ironic way. That kind of society in which does not really matter who you are, as long apparent be someone aristocrat. This is a false puritanical society and double standards. It was a society based on conventions and codes of strict morality. The known as "gentlemen" were men who were admired by people because of their class and seeming perfection. Many of these men and the upper class, generally lived appearances and false seriousness. That image of perfection was actually a lie as many had a secret life, or secret vices, that they had to hide …show more content…

The following is a brief example of a conventional society: “Lady Bracknell: Mr. Worthing,is Miss Cardew at all connected with any of the larger railway stations in London? I merely desire information. Until yesterday I had no idea that there were any families or persons whose origin was a Terminus” As a noblewoman, Lady Bracknell insults Jack—mocking his lack of knowledge about his family—to highlight the difference in their social ranks. To her, Gwendolen’s marriage to Jack would result in a dead end—or a "terminus." In a clever pun, "terminus" also means a station or stop along a railroad line, so Lady Bracknell simultaneously insults Jack’s social

  • Perils of Addiction Exposed in Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

    1761 Words  | 4 Pages

    The values, standards, and expectations of the upper-middle class in the 19th-century Victorian society were conservative and strict; the pressure to earn prestige and achieve upward mobility in social rank required men to sustain an image of propriety and respectability in public.  These obligations often created a longing to divert from the personality facades they had to keep, and from the ideal behavior and polite manners that were expected of bourgeois society men.  Some would fulfill their wishes by leading a secret double life that allowed them to temporarily escape from societal responsibilities and restrictions.  In more private settings, men would partake in sinful pleasures, such as alcohol or drug abuse, and they were free to behave more loosely than they could under the rigid public persona they were forced to hold in order to protect their reputations.

  • A Tale of Two Cities - Breaking Gender Stereotypes and Stereotyping

    Breaking Gender Stereotypes in A Tale of Two Cities & nbsp; The men and the women of A Tale of Two Cites are violent, loving, cowardly, brave, and ruthless.  Some people are weak and spoiled, while others are badly treated and vindictive.  Many contrasts between men and women can be found within this story.   & nbsp;      A Tale of Two Cities clearly portrays very distinct divisions in the behavior of men.  The aristocrats, or upperclassmen, rule and control all of France.  The members of the aristocracy never have to undergo hardships; they always have everything presented to them on a silver platter.  They do whatever they want with total disregard for the peasants. & created these horrible living conditions.  This drives the peasants to revolution, and the decapitation of the aristocrats via the guillotine.  They have a mob mentality and kill everyone who they believe is the enemy.  Neither the aristocrats nor the peasants show any compassion toward the other social class. & nbsp;      Some men in A Tale of Two Cities contrast greatly.  Sydney Carton is a drunk who works for an unappreciative lawyer.  He has no family; he is "a disappointed drudge who cares for no man on earth, and no man cares for him" (75).  He is referred to as "the Jackal" who is necessary in society, but not welcomed or keep a life you love beside you" (138).   She calls Sydney, "poor Mr. Carton" and feels sympathy for him (189).  Charles Evrémonde, called Darnay, is loved by his wife Lucie and his daughter; he is "the object of sympathy and compassion" (74).  Carton and Darnay both adore Lucie Manette, but they are two very different men.&nbsp & nbsp;      The women in A Tale of Two Cites behave in extremely opposing ways.  Lucie Manette is a frail young woman.  She constantly becomes overwhelmed and faints at even the thought of danger.  She has never been exposed to poverty nor suffered through severe hardships.  Lucie is genteel; she is  constantly pampered and described by Ms. Pross as "the wife of Lucifer" (336).  She readily cuts off a man's head and "she never missed [an execution]" (342).  Madame Defarge's sadistic nature is seen best during the execution of Foulon, an aristocrat.  She tortures him,  "as a cat might have done to a mouse" and his head is impaled "upon a pike & nbsp;      Madame Defarge and Dr. Manette both despise the Evrémondes.  Dr. Manette is imprisoned by the Evrémonde brothers in the Bastille for 18 years.  "I, Alexandre Manette, unhappy prisoner, do this night of the year 1767, in my unbearable agony, denounce I denounce [The Evrémondes] to Heaven and to earth" (304).  Madame Defarge's family was brutally slaughtered by the Evrémonde brothers.  She tells her husband, "those dead are my dead, and that summons to answer for those things descends to me!" (312).  She is adamant about avenging her family's deaths and refuses to quit until the last of the Evrémondes are eliminated.  "Then tell wind and fire where to stop, but don't tell me"  (312).  She is even planning on murdering a small child due to her psychotic need for revenge.  The Evrémondes destroy & nbsp;      Madame Defarge's behavior is  more typical of men.  The oppressed male peasants join together to form a group of Jacques, or soldiers, to overthrow the aristocracy.    The Jacques use The Defarge's wine-shop as a meeting place.&nbsp & nbsp;      In A Tale of Two Cities, all gender stereotypes are broken.  Women can be ruthless murderers and men can be passive cowards.  La Guillotine is the sole authority in Paris, fueled by a mob mentality that recognizes class distinctions, not gender.

As it concisely conveys its message, Austen's work represents a development from Fielding's inflated treatise on the subject. The issue of the novel as respectable or as art was clearly an important issue of debate; the greatest speakers for both novelists were the "authors" of their respective texts.

She did try to make the reader see beyond the plot and characters, and most of the readers pick up on the satire, but it seemed as if there was no more to the book aside from this and critic of the Gothic. Bronte wants us to look at our lives and see what wrongs we are doing and change them, but she still leaves the unanswered questions: ‘How?’ and ‘Why are humans like this?’ Austen may have intended to have more to her novel than just critic, but it was not obvious enough to be usable. All-in-all, both novels gave the reader a sense of being there with the characters, and both used precision in their narration to keep the readers in suspension or rolling on the floor laughing.

  • Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice Characters and Social Expectations

    1861 Words  | 4 Pages

    England, under James 1st rule was a vastly altered period compared to our now modern society. So many of the values held during this time, have now been discarded and forgotten. Jane Austen grew up in the Romantic period and experienced a world which was divided, whether through education, class, status, fashion, abilities, gender and etiquette. Her novel, Pride and Prejudice is counted as one of the great classics of English Literature. Austen engrosses readers to live in her world for a time and experience a society filled with matchmaking, romance, marriage and gossip. Every one of her characters is so distinctive and has a clearly outlined caricature. Each of their diverse values conveys a different thinking of the time. Pride and Prejudice is preoccupied with the gentry and most of the social aspects which consumed these people’s lives. There were so many expectations of how you would behave in public, but of course not all of these were upheld. Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Mrs Bennet and Charlotte Lucas are four characters which keep such strong beliefs about the social norms. These characters are expressed so descriptively and through their personalities readers can learn just how the numerous social standards were received.

  • The Country Wife by William Wycherley

    962 Words  | 2 Pages

    In William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, William Wycherley enlightens the audience to capture several different ironical statements and questionable behaviors. The play fits perfectly into Greenwald’s definition of a comedy of manners: “[Critics] assert that a comedy of manners and the people who inhabit it represent the ostentatiously idle upper-class” (“Social Heirarchy” web). Wycherley also distinguishes several oddities in his characters not typically used to describe the upper-class. For example, Mr. Pinchwife, a wealthy newlywed husband, is so afraid that he is going to become a cuckold, that he does not allow his wife to leave the house (Wycherley act two). One of Wycherley’s goals in writing The Country Wife is to point out the flaws of society (“Q & A” web). Wycherley understands that no one is perfect and that a person’s virtues can be altered if pressures and outside influences become prominent. This is precisely how Wycherley uses Mrs. Margery Pinchwife’s character. Mrs. Pinchwife, a virtuous woman, still succumbs to the immorality of the city of London. Wycherley develops characters who precisely bring out Mrs. Pinchwife’s flaws. Mrs. Pinchwife takes the risks of public shame and a damage reputation to have an affair with Mr. Horner.

  • Oscar Wilde: Typifying the Victorian Era

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    Oscar Wilde was born in October 16, 1854, in the mid era of the Victorian period—which was when Queen Victoria ruled. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901.While she ruined Britain, the nation rise than never before, and no one thought that she was capable of doing that. “The Victorian era was both good and bad due to the rise and fall of the empires and many pointless wars were fought. During that time, culture and technology improved greatly” (Anne Shepherd, “Overview of the Victorian Era”). During this time period of English, England was facing countless major changes, in the way people lived and thought during this era. Today, Victorian society is mostly known as practicing strict religious or moral behavior, authoritarian, preoccupied with the way they look and being respectable. They were extremely harsh in discipline and order at all times. Determination became a usual Victorian quality, and was part of Victorian lifestyle such as religion, literature and human behavior. However, Victorian has its perks, for example they were biased, contradictory, pretense, they cared a lot of about what economic or social rank a person is, and people were not allowed to express their sexuality. Oscar Wilde was seen as an icon of the Victorian age. In his plays and writings, he uses wit, intelligence and humor. Because of his sexuality he suffered substantially the humiliation and embarrassment of imprisonment. He was married and had an affair with a man, which back then was an act of vulgarity and grossness. But, that was not what Oscar Wilde was only known for; he is remembered for criticizing the social life of the Victorian era, his wit and his amazing skills of writing. Oscar Wilde poem “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” typifies the Vi...

  • Jane Austen's Writing Style

    571 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jane Austen's writing style is a mix of neoclassicism and romanticism. Austen created a transition into Romanticism which encourages passion and imagination in writing instead of a strict and stale writing style. It is very emotional and follows a flowing not structured form. Mixing these two styles was one of Austen's strongest talents, which gave her an edge in the literary world. No other author in her time was able to create such a strong transition between writing styles. Austen used her sharp and sarcastic wit in all of her writing including in one of her most famous works; Pride and Prejudice. She could create a powerful and dramatic scene and immediately lead it into a satirical cathartic scene. We see these in various locations in Pride and Prejudice. She was able to use her experiences as well as her intense knowledge to create meaningful insights into her words, regardless of what topic she would be discussing. She often talks about marriage, or breaking the roles of what a person should be. She made controversial works that praised imperfections which praised the...
