Flirting is generally one of the initial signs of affection Marriages are typically built upon the love fostered by that affection. This is ironic and an example of satire because most women have flirted with the man they choose to marry at some point. ]]> 2022-03-28 18:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/amatt9319/vxjcbodog2yr37if/wish/2117752285 amatt9319 https://padlet.com/amatt9319/vxjcbodog2yr37if/wish/2117762298 On page 53, Gwendolyn professes her undying devotion to earnest. She says that regardless of who she marries, she will remain devoted to him. This is ironic and a good example of satire because married couples are usually devoted to each other before anyone else. The idea of being devoted to someone other than your husband or wife totally defeats the premise of marriage. ]]> 2022-03-28 18:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amatt9319/vxjcbodog2yr37if/wish/2117762298 amatt9319 https://padlet.com/amatt9319/vxjcbodog2yr37if/wish/2117802731 Having inherited a large sum of money at a young age, Jack is a member of high society.
