MY PARAGRAPH

However, dishonesty, no matter how small or how big it is still hidden deep inside the dark side of everyone's hearts. During the play all of the characters each had their little secrets that they lied to others only for their personal gain or for the reasons that they thought fit, the lies were small, so small it didn't seem of much importance, for instance, Algernon was able to deceive not only Jack but Lady Bracknell as well when he told Jack "Please don't touch the cucumber sandwiches. They are ordered specially for Aunt Augusta" (30) only to keep the sandwiches for himself, and when Lady Bracknell arrived Algernon was able to shift the cucumber sandwiches to Lane saying "There were no cucumbers in the market" (38)when all along the sandwiches were eaten by him alone. But Algernon isn't the only one having fun lying, instead all the characters each have their own little black book. Jack for one, he despised the idea of Algernon having interest in Cecily and his response was "Well if you want to know, Cecily happens to be my Aunt" (32) and he continues "Yes. Charming old lady she is too. lives at Tunbridge Wells" (32) it seems like a tiny lie, which it is, but he only told that because he thought it was better off with Algernon not knowing Cecily. And how can we forget little Cecily, I mean she is only 18 right? Well that is her age at home, and at clubs she is 21, she has everyone fooled only to seem more mature for her own gains of fitting in with others that are older, but that is not all, she even uses fake letters from Earnest to fake their love ever since she found out about Earnest.
Though the lies are simple, they still hold a much larger role in the play, as all the characters each lie and deceive each other.
