• J14 - TIBE (six quotes, two from each of the three acts)

• Here is an example of what I'm looking for with your TIBE journal:  

1. (Quote) LADY BRACKNELL: "You can hardly imagine that I and Lord Bracknell would dream of allowing our only daughter—a girl brought up with the utmost care—to marry into a cloakroom, and form an alliance with a parcel? Good morning, Mr. Worthing!"
2. (Surface meaning) Lady Bracknell doesn't believe Mr. Worthing's breeding is good enough—nay, it is rather suspect—for her only daughter, who is an aristocrat.
3. (Underbelly, hidden meaning, satire) What is Wilde satirizing (poking fun at)? Wilde is claiming that many respectable Victorians actually have dubious beginnings, which, if known to the world, would hamper their ability to maintain the benefits of the aristocratic life. Wilde is criticizing the "high pedigree" expectations of the aristocracy as well as what they deem indiscreet behavior, for Lady Bracknell considers Mr. Worthing's origins in a cloakroom at a railway station to be evidence of a concealed social indiscretion (if not in fact, then by association).
