During their discussion, Gwendolyn finds out that not only did “Ernest” never mention he had a brother, but also a ward. When Gwendolyn learns that it is Jack is the guardian and “Ernest” who Cecily is the love with, the two women begin to argue over who he proposed to first, when really it was two different men. The men show up at the height of the argument and both girls are told by the other that they have been lied to.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST PERFOMANCE The play begins in Algernon wealthy flat. Algernon is expecting visitors, Lady Bracknell, his aunt and Gwendolen, her daughter, (his cousin), but Jack Worthing a very good friend of Algernon arrives first. However, Algernon finds it’s odd that Jack introduces himself as Ernest rather than Jack. Furthermore, Jack explains that he wants to marry Gwendolen. Algernon demands to know why Jack has an inscription with the word “From Little Cecile with her fondest love” on his cigarette.
Cecily tells Lady Bracknell how she is engaged to Algernon and after much questioning gives her consent to the marriage. There is a common theme of love in this section with both Algernon and Jack revealing their true love for Gwendolen and Cecily.

When Gwendolen comes to visit jack she meets Cecily and they both tell each other about their engagements to jacks fictional brother Ernest.

However, Othello informs Iago that he is not a jealous man.
We learn that Hamlet had confessed her love to her but her brother warns Ophelia that as a prince, Hamlet can't choose who he is to marry and that he is probably just trying to steal her virginity. She shows how loyal she is to her brother when she tells him that she has locked her relationship with Hamlet in her memory and has given Laertes the key. As Laertes is leaving, their father Polonius enters the conversation. She tells him that she doesn’t fully comprehend Hamlet's affections but that he spoke “with almost all the holy vows of heaven.” Worried that Hamlet is not being honest with her, Polonius forbids her to be with him, to which Ophelia replies “I shall obey, my lord.” It is shown through Polonius and Laertes' talks with Ophelia that they believe she is innocent of mind and is lacking proper judgement in these situations. They also show how much they care for her and their protective nature towards her.
