English Literature - Day 7
We are learning to describe relationships in the play.
We looked at how every character is related to each other, and we made a simple drawing, like this:
To put this drawing into simple words: Algernon (Algy) and Earnest (Jack) are best friends, as they have mutual friends and personalities. Earnest has come to the city, to propose to his will-be finance Gwendolen. On the other hand, Gwendolen's mother, Lady Bracknell wants to know about Mr. Worthing (as she must have thought it was inappropriate to just call him "Earnest").
Algy is now interested in Jack's niece, Cecily. He too lied to her that his name is "Earnest". And so, he starts flirting with her, and telling her how sweet she looks (most probably for her blonde hair!). When he proposes to her, then they come to know that none of them were Earnest.
To satisfy both the ladies, they thought of christening their names to "Earnest". But, both of them forgave, and story ends by Jack realising that he was Algy's younger brother, and that he was named "Earnest Moncrieff, after all!
Miss Prism and Doctor Chasuble are additional characters in the play.
