    Through Lady Bracknell's monologue, Wilde is mocking the hypocrisy of the Victorian society and their thoughts that money is the most important thing in life. Lady Bracknell didn't approve of Cecily and her marriage to Jack until she hears that Cecily is going to inherit a lot of money when she comes of age.

    Lady Bracknell is a bit dissatisfied with Cecily but when she heard about Cecily’s inheritance, she gave her consent right away in Cecily and Algernon’s engagement. Wilde only showed here the discrimination when it comes to marriage: Social class and economic standing matters in marrying a person and the underdog remains at the bottom.
