Annotate: Showing K&U or language and literary features as well as context.(Unfinished)

Annotate: Showing K&U or language and literary features as well as context. Cross reference with rest of text to show wider K&U of play.

Gwendolen: Outside the family circle, papa, I am glad to say, is entirely unknown. I think it is quite as it should be. The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man. And certainly once a man begins to neglect his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not? And I don't like that. It makes men so very attractive. Cecily, mamma, whose views on education are remarkably strict, has brought me up to be extremely short-sighted; it is part of her system; so do you mind my looking at you through my glasses?

Cecily: Oh! not at all, Gwendolen. I am very fond of being looked at.

Throughout the text in these speeches there are many annotations which can be made. Oscar Wilde has thought about the meanings which we find can be seen if analysed throughly.
