multiple ways. In both Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, different aspects of irony are implemented to create an entertaining story line. The use of dramatic irony portrays the characters in an irrational and humorous light, through the verbal exchanges among those with alter egos; foolish actions originating from adverse situations; and the implications of dramatic irony in love.

The Dramatic Importance of Antonio and Sebastian Antonio and Sebastian are dramatically significant in the play for several reasons. Shakespeare has used them to represent several themes and human characteristics for comparison within the play.

He destroys the idea that some people have about war being an exciting and honourable opportunity to defend one’s nation. Louis de Bernieres portrays the reality of war in a dramatic and effective way through various techniques, but the most notable of these are strong language, black humour, and above all the dramatic mental and physical decay of characters within the narrative.

this final scene. This final scene of the film contrasts with the dramatic scene of the death of Elizabeth where the fire and the fast and heavily scored music increases the drama. The darkness of the building placed with the orangey-yellow glare of the fire as Elizabeth runs through the Frankenstein mansion towards the camera creates a commotion and increases the excitement.

Sarah assumes a motherly role as a caretaker and comforter while Matthew is reduced to
