Yeah I know it's sad but I like to come here for help when I'm totally stuck on an assignment. I have to compare and contrast two books I have read and I chose a Streetcar named desire and The Importance of Being Earnest. And i'm totally stuck on where to go from here... I've never compared two books (plays in this case) before.... and I have to have it in 5 paragraph form.
The only thing in common A Streetcar Named Desire and The Importance of Being Earnest have in common is that they are plays! Though Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a brilliant comedy, Tennessee Williams’s “A Streetcar Named Desire” is a modern drama. Both are totally different plays, yet they are masterpieces I’d defiantly recommend reading.
Oscar Wilde sure had one heck of an imagination when he wrote “The Importance of Being Earnest.” The banter, so witty. The plot, so farcical. The twist, so well-executed. Oscar loves to twist words and often puts the characters in awkward situations. The book is very fast paced with the reader often confused with the strange nature of the situations. After you learn quite quickly not to take it seriously, it is defiantly quite an amusing tale to read.
Tennessee Williams took a totally different approach with his “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Williams was very serious with this play, and I found myself impressed with the depth of the characters. William’s play defiantly has a more modern feel to it, and it’s very easy to relate to characters.
