In-class essay

Today the students wrote essays in response to the following prompt:

The significance of a title such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is easy to discover. However, in other works (for example, Measure for Measure) the full significance of the title becomes apparent to the reader only gradually.

Choose a work and show how the significance of the title is developed through the authors’ use of devices such as contrast, repetition, allusion, and point of view.

You MUST select one of the works listed below.

The Importance of Being Earnest
The Importance of Being Klimas
