- Character statuses change
- relationships change
- satirical purpose of the play also changes.
In the beginning of the play the characters are not fully aware of there relationships with each other and humour is created when Algernon and Jack both have false characters who they make believe that they are real ( Bunbury for Algernon and Ernest for Jack). The two are very good friends and are always teasing and playing around with each other. Towards the end of the play we find out the true identity's of them and also we find out that they are long lost brothers and Lady Bracknells sisters sons. Jack is then automatically of a higher class and he is instantly accepted into the aristocracy. Before he wanted to marry Gwendolen but his mother did not allow it but now because he has become of a higher status and is part of the aristocracy he is automatically allowed to marry her now.
The play is also very hypocritical about statutes and this is very satirical, This theme mainly evolves around lady Bracknell.
