    Lady Bracknell is concerned with social status and this is achieved through marriage. She shows this frivolous interest mainly through the comments she makes every time she intervenes to make her daughter, Gwendolen, marry "an eligible young man". Lady Bracknell is more interested in the husband's social status than in the person itself. When she gives dinner parties, she sends her husband to have dinner downstairs with the servants. When she learns that Jack, Gwendolen's potential husband, was abandoned in a bag at a railway station, she gets angry and tells him she does not want her daughter " to form any alliance with a parcel". She also makes frivolous comments about education. She criticises educated people because she thinks they are dangerous for the English upper-class.

    The aspect of Lady Bracknell's behavior that Wilde uses to poke fun at the importance placed on frivolous events in formal society is the fact that she is very concerned about a party instead of taking care of Mr. Bunbury's health.

    Oscar Wilde uses his play "The Importance of being Earnest" to critique in a humorous way the society in Victorian times. Lady Bracknell is a clear example of the way people behaved at thay time.
