In Oscar Wilde's play The Importance of Being Earnest, Jack lives a double life; known as Jack Worthing at home in the country and as his own younger brother Earnest Worthing in London society. He finds himself in love with Gwendolen, his friend Algernon's cousin, so he confides in Algernon about his true identity, and the young ward that he cares for in the county. Algernon then travels to the county posing as Earnest Worthing and falls in love with Jack's ward Cecily. When the two women meet they quickly discover that they are both engaged to Earnest Worthing, and that Earnest Worthing does not exist, but they eventually decide that a name is not as important as the person behind the name. Both men learn that honesty is always best. What effect does this sequence of events most likely have on the text?
