TELTIBE Essay Collaberation

The first point I make in my body paragraph about Bunburying is how Algernon uses Bunburying completely selfishly to escape all duty like when avoiding dinner with Aunt Augusta. I then use commentary to address the matter of how Bunbury is the made up character used for escaping duty.My last commentary for this point how Algernon spends money extravagantly to enhance is appearance as a gentleman.
My next point is the way Jack uses Bunburying to separate two different the two different aspects of his life (raising Cecily and visiting his lover Gwendolen). I add commentary to this by showing how Jack is unlike Algernon in the way that he is not entirely selfish in his Bunburying. Also I expose the fact that Oscar Wilde is using the character of Jack as an example of a Successful and not at all bad way to take part in the pursuit of pleasure.
My last point is that as Algernon and Jack begin to consider marriage Algernon is stressing that they both need a way out in order to continue their pursuit of pleasure. I back this point up with the the quote from Algernon to Jack on Pg. 16 "You don't seem to realize that in married life three is company and two is none." For commentary I talk about how marriage is a road block in the pursuit of pleasure and then go on to talk about how Wilde does not think very highly of marriage and believes that people need the right to escape it.
To conclude the paragraph I talk about the statement Wilde is trying to make about Bunburying in this Play. He is trying to get across to the reader that sometimes you need a way out of everyday life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

That's basically it.

  1. that covers it. you should try to wrap things up in your paragraph so that it seams like it's coming to a close to transition into the conclusion.
