the other book review

A very uncom­pli­cated and amus­ing play. This play has every­thing a good clas­sic play should have: char­ac­ters with secrets, a sit­u­a­tion that starts easy but spins out of con­trol in no time, love inter­ests, con­fu­sion of tongues, lit­tle fights, a moral and a happy ending.

The char­ac­ters with secrets are John/Jack and Alger­non. The love inter­ests are Lane and Cecily. The sit­u­a­tion is John want­ing to marry Cecily, but she only wants to marry an Earnest. The con­fu­sion is in all the names the char­ac­ters have. The fight is between Alger­non and John. The moral is: be your­self and truth­ful and the happy ending…well, I think I don’t have to say any­thing about that.

Read and enjoy!
