Stella shows and states that she is thrilled by Stanely's violence '' i was - sort of - thrilled by it '' the pauses between her speech indicates that she is searching for a term to express her emotions and has concluded to one that shocks Blanche.
'' On our wedding night - soon as we came in here - he snatched off one of my slippers and rushed about the place smashing the light-bulbs with it '' this statement made my Stella shows that his violence is also a memory as well as present and the memory is a wonderful one because it was on her wedding night.

Stellas diary entry
a) Imagine that while Stella is in hospital after having the baby, she writes an entry in her diary about how she feels about returning home to Stanley and Blanche. Write this diary entry in which Stella expresses her hopes and fears for the future.
Dear Diary,
I am sat here reminiscing about how I miss my family. My admiring husband and my agonisingly loving sister. I miss them terribly, i think about them all the time, wondering what they're doing and how they're getting on together, if they're at each others throats or if they're making peace. I'm suffering severe pains from this pregnancy. I can't wait till my little baby comes out, i love it already. if it's a girl i'm going to name her Elizabeth or Florence because they're such beautiful names; Elizabeth means, God is my oath and Florence means blossoming or flourishing. Such beautiful names compromise with my such beautiful child. If i have a boy, which Stanley has been wishing so badly, i'd name him Albert or Francis. To think of it, i think Stanley will want a say in naming our child, oh how i hope he agrees with me for once on something.
I get lonely in here sometimes, i miss Stanley's touch and his tender kisses and Blanche's flamboyant ways. As much as i love them and trust them with all my love and heart, i always have that little pestering feeling and thought in my head that they may... connect... intimately. no. no, that's almost impossible. Stanley wouldn't do that to me and i'm sure my is composed enough to know her morale.
I want to leave. i want to leave now. i want to go home to my family and friends. this is the longest i've been with out my Stan, i've gotten used to missing Blanche but Stan and I are forever together. The wonders of what the baby is doing to me, even before it's come out. I imagine Stanley, the baby and I being a happy family, i see Stanley holding it, cooing at it and rocking it. I see us travelling together, weirdly even arguing over it. i love it. i love the idea of a family, a loving family.
I'm going to go home soon to a loving husband and a forever nagging loving sister that i adore.
Dear Diary, i shall update you with what comes to me in the future.

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''
