Read this sentence from a report on Oscar Wilde.Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family.

“
“Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class ticket for this seaside resort find you?”
“
“Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-bag—a somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it—an ordinary hand-bag in fact.”
“
“To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”
“
“May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’s happiness.”
