Sample Response: Jack is concerned with making sure
that Gwendolen is happy, but Lady Bracknell is
concerned only with whether Jack can prove he has
important family members. Lady Bracknell's response is
ridiculous because it is impossible to expect Jack to
miraculously find one of his parents. Jack's offer to
produce the handbag as a suitable substitute for his
parents highlights how ridiculous her request is.
