Furthermore, the main resolution is at the end of the play when Jack Worthing finally realises his place in society because he knows he has the same social status as Lady Bracknell which means Lady Bracknell can't look down to Jack no more or judge him because there actually equal. Also at the end the quote "Unmarried! I do not deny that is a serious blow. But after all, who has the right to cast a stone against one who has suffered? Cannot repentance wipe out of an act of folly? Why should there be one law for men and another for woman? Mother, I forgive you." This is saying that Miss prism is an unmarried woman with a son in the victorian times that is looked upon as foul and disgusting, In summary to this it is clear that by then end of the play Jack Worthing has a status and is part of the aristocracy however in the end there all happy and equal with each other. Lady Bracknell was very hypocritical in the play because she talks about how status is so important, her herself hasn't got a background status because she married into a rank of aristocracy.

Resolution
Towards the end of the play there was resolutions on character status. at the beginning of the play status between the characters were singled out. If you had a high status in society you were looked up to and was guaranteed respect however if you had a low status in society you was looked down upon and people were judgemental and treated people who were poor horridly. Especially when Gwendolen tells her mother Lady Bracknell that she's getting married to Jack Worthing, Lady Bracknell wants to first interview him and see if he's eligible for her daughter and is interested what his position is in society. When she finds out that he was found in a handbag and what his ranks of the aristocracy is, she isn't to happy because she cares more about her status than the man that wants to marry her daughter because he wouldn't be on the list for eligible men for Gwendolen.
