How does Wilde convey Jack's attitude towards Algernon in your answer you should consider?

Wilde conveys Jack's attitude towards Algernon throughout the play, Wilde uses a range of dramatic techniques to show this. In act 1 scene 1 of The Importance Of Being Ernest, Jack says to Algernon "How utterly unromantic you are" when Jack says this it's perceived as Jack feels comfortable stating his views to Algernon in this atmosphere. However, Jack comes across as being patronising towards Algernon by using the word "Utterly", utterly is used to over exaggerate what Jack is saying also by using "you are" at the end of the sentence shows emphasis because he knows Algernon is not a romantic man and he never will be. On the other hand Jack is a romantic man
