Victorian Research

When we started reading The Importance of Being Earnest, I was glad we had researched the Victorian Era before reading the play. Marrige was brought up constantly through out the play, luckily i researched this beforehand. When Lady Bracknell had to ask Jack questions about his family life and other things to see if he was suitible to be her son-in-law, this was commom in this time. Since he didnt have a wealthy family, she decided he wasnt good enough for Gwendolen.
Another topic I was thankful for researching was about the social classes. I learned that the upper class was much more important than the lower classes. Algernon and Lane were both respected, but because of Lane being in the lower class and algernon in the upper class he got much more respect because he was born into a wealthy family, and Lane wasnt.
