![]() ![]() The train line doesn’t matter, but his bloodline does.īracknell loves money. The best thing about it is that the characters are completely unaware of their own absurd hypocrisy. ![]() When Jack explains the details of the train line he was left at, she ironically exclaims: “The line is immaterial.” And that such a marriage would remind her of: “the worst excesses of the French revolution.” The dialogue is utterly genius. Jack undergoes a great deal of social mobility prior to the events of the play however, Bracknell, who represents the rigidness of British aristocracy, is very alarmed that such a man could marry her daughter. This is just absurd, outrageous and straight to the point. What a penetrating critique of high Victorian society this becomes but rather than being a dull argument or essay, it takes on the body of a hilarious play. ![]()
