The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde The pun in this passage relies on two definitions of the word lose is:

Woman Bracknell is above all else an image of Victorian sincerity and the despondency it brings accordingly. She is amazing, egotistical, savage to the limit, moderate, and appropriate.

In numerous ways, she addresses Wilde's assessment of Victorian high society antagonism, moderate and harsh qualities, and power.

Jack and Algernon strive to be dedicated Ernest. Ultimately, Jack finds that his folks were Lady Bracknell's sister and brother by marriage and that he is, truth be told, Algernon's more seasoned sibling, called Ernest.

One of the play's mysteries is the difficulty of really being either sincere importance genuine or true or moral while professing to be so.

The characters who embrace technicality and insidiousness are the ones who might have the best shot at accomplishing earnestness and ideals.
