Ernest essay thesis/intro paragraph

Here it is....

In the play The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde, the author mockingly connects three male to female relationships by their thoughts, speech, and actions towards each other to develop their characters, moral values, and to express his thoughts towards Victorian Era marriage and relationships. Whether it be love at first sight, cautious relationships, or a hidden attraction, Wilde clearly shows a deeper understanding of human nature. The relationship between Jack and Gwendolyn is an example of a cautious attraction, while Algernon and Cecily were love at first sight. Reverend Chauseble and Miss Prism, though, are in a more hidden attraction, so they are not as flamboyant as Jack and Gwendolyn are towards each other.
