In my opinion Wilde is saying dishonesty can make or break you. Lying and having alter egos has yielded some pretty positive results in the story so far, like Algernon being engaged to Cecily. I am, however relatively certain that all the deception will catch up with everyone. For example, Gwendolyn is in love with Ernest, not jack. However, I don’t think Victorian society could function without people occasionally going “Bunburying”.
There is a lot of dishonesty in The Importance of Being Earnest. There is dishonesty for pleasure, humor, and relating back to the title of the book. Algernon and Jack both create fake people to go get away and avoid situations. Algernon has a good friend "Mr. Bunbury" who always needs visiting when he is invited to dinner with Lady Bracknell. Jack's brother "Ernest" lives in the city so Jack goes to the city to visit him every once in a while. They both fall in love with girls under the name of "Ernest", a name which both girls absoultely love.

Extra Credit
T his year my resolution is for me to get better grades. This would benefit me in more ways than one. One way it would better my current life is that it would impress my parents, and they would probably give me more freedom than what I have. Since I will be 16 next year I need to start worrying about getting a car, and along with a car I need insurance. The better my grades are the cheaper my insurance will be, and as they always say, cheaper is better!
Once I get to be a junior/senior, college is something I need to think about. If I have higher grades, I have a much more vast choice of possible schools I could attend, and more schools would want to accept me. After college I need to put my life together, and if I get good grades in high school and college, more places would want to hire me.
Not only would getting good grades improve how adults view me, but it would also make me feel better about myself, and it's always good to feel that.
Above is the university of Arizona, one of my colleges of choice!
