The Importance of Being Earnest: Group Essay

Algernon and Cecily come together from tantamount personalities. Both lied their way into the relationship they now share. Algernon through Bunburying and Cecily through her diary in which she said, "... We have been engaged for the past three months." They habitually long for each other without even knowing if the other exists. Jack and Gwendolyn share interests in being wealthy. They both think of themselves as part of a higher stature which is an epigram in and of itself because they are rich and own land in the city and country. Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble use social commentary to awkwardly avoid the deep connection that they share. They both choose to talk about society factors instead of themselves.
