new found brother. The same man that played his brother in their mind games with friends and family.But the irony does not stop there. Jack told Gwendolyn, the woman he loved, that his name was Earnest. He lived the life of his "brother" Earnest in the city that happened to include her. But in the country, Algernon pretended to be Earnest to the woman he had admired. Both women were attracted to the name Earnest and were extremely disappointed that they were not named it. But as it turned out their fathers name was Earnest. Because Jack was the eldest brother he finds out that his father had given him his name. So after all the lies and cover-ups, Jacks real name is Earnest. This play is full of irony. It is written remarkably comical and almost absurdly.

Can you get any more ironical than that? ...
