The Importance of Being Earnest
Storyboard Text

- Cecily tells Algernon that it's been a dream of hers to marry someone named Ernest.
- "You must not laugh at me, darling, but it had always been a girlish dream off mine to love someone whose name was Ernest." (76)

- Algernon tells Cecily that he will be back later.
- "I'll be back in no time" (77)
- this shows dramatic irony because the audience knows that he wont visit her again because he's not Ernest.
- Algernon asks to read Cecily's diary but she tells him that she is making copies to the public and hopes he gets a copy.
- "Oh no. (put her hand over it.) You see, it is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication. When it appears in volume form I hope you will order a copy. (73)
- this shows situational irony because when someone has a diary they usually keep it hidden from the public.
- Cecily says that if someone has something mean to say, they should say it candidly (straightforward).
- "Pray do!" I think that whenever one has anything unpleasant to say, one should always be quite candid" (80)
