Lane's Instructions

Dear replacement, I am to inform you of your duties while i'm away. Your care taking of Mr Algernon Moncreiff is highly vital and i do advise you to read this with thought and in depth.

To start off, you must ALWAYS side with Mr Moncreiff, you must never betray him and follow by his word. If he tells a tattle tale you mustn't object, ever. Mr Moncreiff likes to know that he has trustworthy back up and a man of trust. You must also cover for all his mistakes, he must look sharp socially and physically. As I say you must be on Mr Moncreiff's side, you musn't become to attached to one. He likes his space.

If Mr Moncreiff asks on your opinion on anything, you don't actually say what you thought of the subject. For example, if he asks on his piano play, you say it wasn't polite to listen. Giving your own opinion isn't very necessary therefore it isn't needed as it could be taken to an offence.

Some basic things to get on with though:

1) Be clean and dress well
2) Mentioning marriage positively is very arguable with Mr Moncreiff, you don't want to get on the wrong side of him.
3) Agree to what his opinions tell you even if you don't believe in them, pleasing him keeps you on the right side with him

And finally, forever cover up for him, if he's in trouble you back him up, but do try not to get yourself in a twist and get into trouble.

Sounds confusing, yes, but you shall get the hang of it.

Yours Sincerely,

Lane.

Conclusion of the reading.

How is the play resolved.

The play is resolved by the findings of Jacks true birth identity. We are told Jacks christian name 'Ernest' by Lady Bracknell. The resolution on character status has changed, Jack for one is now entitled to a higher status after finding his kin and he also almost demand respect from his new found brother ''you will have to treat me with more respect in the future. you have never behaved to me like a brother in all your life'' and Algernon's response to that ''well, not till today old boy, i admit. i did my best, however, though i was out of practice'' this resolution affects the character status as now we see Algernon agreeing to treat him with more respect after he found out about his brother.

The effects of the resolution on relationships has changed in a major way, lady Bracknell will now treat Jack with more respect rather than degrade his social status like she has done before due to the reason of his family background. Algernon now agrees to treat Jack with more respect as so Jack is excited to have a brother, we see this when he is repeating the fact that he has a brother ''I knew i had brother! i always said i had a brother!'' this obviously shows the audience that the relationship between Jack and Algernon have immediately clicked and Lady Bracknell has accepted the fact that Jack is now family and she must treat him with more respect.

In conclusion the relationship

The importance of being ALGERNON

Algernon:

a man. men always overrule women and in comparison to other male characters Algy so happens to be the main character.

the joker of the play:- the play is obviously a comedy for serious people so if he can make serious people laugh then he is the key.

he's dandy.


Bunbury his non existing friend. he uses him as an excuse to get out of things he doesnt want to do, rather than be rude and hurt others and say ''i dont want to''

Analysis of Act 1 Scence of The Importance of Being Earnest

During the read of Act one Scene one, we experience devices such as 'Coinage'.


Where, for example, Algernon makes up 'Bunbrying'. According to Algernon's knowledge 'Bunbrying's a system in which Algernon invented and uses to escape from unwanted social obligations such as when he gets out of having  daily meals with his Aunt Augusta as he gets annoyed by the treatment he receives when he's there ''I am always treated as a member of the family, and sent down with either no woman at all or two'' This could show that Algernon would rather be treated as a guest. 


The importance of Algernon's use of 'Coinage' reflects to the audience to allow them to explore Algernon's persona through his immaturity in
