The Importance Of Being Earnest By Oscar Wilde

In the play The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, one can predict Algernon will go to Jack’s house and that Jack and Gwendolen will not get married. First, one can predict that Algernon will go to Jack’s place. At the beginning of the play, Algernon asked Jack questions about his house. Then, later in the play he writes down the address Jack gives Gwendolen. In the play it states, “Algernon, who has been carefully listening, smiles to himself, and writes the address on his shirtcuff. Then picks up the Railway Guide”.
