I make the decisions. You do not. And, if you ever do anything to my fingers, know that I will keep you alive long enough to horribly regret that. Your resignation request is denied.
today’s ludicrous over-read of something in pop culture
Martin’s surname is Crieff, which is technically a real name (town in Scotland) but instantly reminds Mr. Birling of the much more well-known surname Moncrieff. “Like Algernon? In ‘Earnest’?” Martin hasn’t read it, which sets up the whole dynamic between him and Mr. Birling, that’s why that line’s in there.
But recently I DID read ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’, and found out THIS detail, via TV Tropes:
The names of Algernon and Lady Bracknell allude to Wilde’s lover Alfred Douglas and his mother .. Moncrieff was the name of an ancient Scottish family just like that of Douglas.
Martin is a Crieff because he’s not quite a Douglas. I have no idea if this was intentional but I’m just gonna say it is.
