Oh my.... Ernest 1 and Jack-Ernest??Lol....how will this untangle??
This Act is just hilarious! All that Bunburrying going on. I love how Algernon and Jack both decided to get themselves christened.
I love the word "Bunburrying"
Dear me, those boys have gotten themselves in a pickle! ;) :)Wilde is definitely having fun with this play... Not one, but two girls who will only marry someone named Ernest. Opinions are completely opposite from the norms of the time. Like Gwendolyn saying the man stays at home.
Gwendolyn isn't as smart as she thinks she is... She claims that her first impressions are never wrong and that her Ernest is truthful and honorable. Hmmm... Maybe this is another pint Wilde is making... One can never truly know a person...
This week's reading is about, Act II
