Undergraduate / "Jack Worthing's"; Columbia Sup; Meaningful book/ publication/ cultural event [3]
Thank you so much texo here's the fixed one, I would like some notes on your behalf and I will check your essay too:
I could not contain the excitement as I revealed Jack Worthing's, Oscar Wilde's, infamous line: "I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital importance of being earnest". This very line made me reflect the importance of being genuinely true to yourself. I have never understood how some people, in order to "fit in", pretend to be something they are not just to please others. Both Jack and Algernon pretended to be Earnest to win their beloved's heart, leading them to live a double life, which they could not uphold. Even though this conflict is settled at the end of the play, where everyone lived happily ever after, in real life we cannot expect everything to turn out the way we want it to. Wilde's mockery towards the Victorian-era society in his play not only produced the comic effect intended but also concluded that personal identity should not be lost in order to sustain a social image.
