The Importance of A Good Appearance Oscar Wilde’s “Trivial Comedy for Serious People” illustrates the issues rampant in the elite Victorian upper class. He writes, “really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility” (17). Wilde’s characters make up a group of upper class Victorians, and Wilde uses their conversations to critique high society. Wilde dissects the Victorian lifestyle

Stevens is defined as a gentleman as long as he is defined in relation to Lord Darlington’s property and social standing. As the butler of the house, Stevens has control over all the other members of the

Both Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening” and George Bernard Shaw’s ”Pygmalion” use conflict to illustrate how a parent’s attitude can affect the morals and individuality of women in society. Conflict between father and daughter is prominent in Shaw’s “Pygmalion”.

“Gentleman, Your Verdict”: A Moral Dilemma 1. In my opinion, I don’t think the jury should convict Commander Oram of murder because he wanted at least some people to survive and to do that, many men had to die. The fact that he commits suicide makes a difference because if he hadn’t it would have made it look like he killed 15 other men so that he could survive. If he hadn’t commit suicide, I would definitely change my answer to ‘yes, he is guilty’. I don’t think that the other crew members

dawdle over details; not once does this film about the U.S. Senate utter the words “Republican” or “Democrat,” nor does it ever reveal which state Senator Jefferson Smith hails from. (The unpublished book the film is based on, Lewis R. Foster’s The Gentleman From Montana, takes a decidedly less ambiguous approach.) Written, shot, and released in the midst of one of the most tumultuous periods of American history, Mr. Smith barely addresses any of the many important issues of its day, from the Great Depression

as well as historical figures. Confucius evaluates their strengths and weaknesses as part of a larger discourse on virtue and goodness by drawing upon these figures as examples. In other books in the text Confucius makes comparisons between the gentleman and what he calls "the small man". This distinction will prove of some importance, particularly when considering the historical context in which these words were presumably uttered.

They were having a direct conversation and were within a hand's reach. The gentleman was leaning towards the lady, showing interest in what she is saying. I assume by the distance between each other and the position that they are facing, these two people are very close friends. They have a very firm and strong relationship based on letting each other into their
