"I adore you. But you haven’t proposed to me yet. Nothing has been said at all about marriage. The subject has not even been touched on." p.10-11

Explanation: 
In this line it is revealed that Gwendolen thinks that proposals should be proper and organized. Despite that Jack has said they should be married at once. She plays shy. Wilde uses this as satire against how proper Victorian society is. ]]> 2022-03-28 18:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/abenge1832/yk3maulqtb040thd/wish/2117744738 acullen4668 https://padlet.com/abenge1832/yk3maulqtb040thd/wish/2117751865 Jack's attitude towards marriage is positive he sees it as a serious union of love. Whereas Gwendolen sees it as a simple union she would enjoy. Gwendolen wants to be treated very formally, she has a very idealistic and showy view of love. This shows Jack views marriage as more than simple.

Algernon's negative attitude towards marriage serves as a stark contrast to Jacks romantic views and a scathing indictment of the traditions function. (pg.24)

He has made a life for himself with his land in the country. But has made a life of living a double life by going by different names when he's in the country or city.

"To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." p.11

You realize that Lady Bracknell is actually quite superficial after this encounter. The audience sees this intense interrogation and understands that she actually has very high standards for Gwendolen. Basically if he isn't rich, do not marry him.

He's made up a phrase called "Bunbury" to help him get out of situations. He uses that word to get out of anything that doesn't meet his expectations.
