Which character from "The Importance of Being Earnest" are you?

You are Algernon, known to his friends as Algy!

A member of the aristocracy, you enjoy the finer things--especially a good bottle of champagne. Pleasure is your number one priority, and you're willing to lie to get out of boring situations. Nevertheless, when you're spending time with friends (other than the imaginary Mr. Bunbury), they find you handsome, charming, and a little bit wicked.

You are John Worthing, known as Jack to his friends!

You're a bit more down-to-earth than your friend Algernon, but though you take life more seriously, you still like to have fun. So much so, in fact, that you've invented an imaginary brother to take the blame for all of your mischief. Although your background is a mystery (you were found in a handbag, after all), you do your best to maintain society's expectations. Ultimately, you know that being earnest is the best way to avoid (and get out of) unhappy situations.

You are the Honorable Miss Gwendolen Fairfax!

As the daughter of Lady Bracknell, you're used to conforming to society's expectations. You're posh, polished, and polite--as long as you get what you want. Despite a bit of a mean streak, however, you're willing to defy convention in order to be with the person you love.

You are Cecily Cardew!

Described by Jack as "exceptionally pretty," you're also exceptionally naïve. You've invented a robust fantasy life for yourself, and you're determined to make it come true. In spite of your innate silliness, however, you have true affection and concern for the people who look after you.

You're Miss Letitia Prism!

As a governess, you take education very seriously. You're prim and proper, and you regularly remind people that "as they sow, so shall they reap." But though you seem straitlaced on the outside, a spark of love burns beneath that austere exterior, waiting for the right person to fan it to life.

You're Dr. Frederick Chasuble!

As the respected and intelligent, though somewhat phlegmatic, Rector of Hertfordshire, you consider yourself to be the picture of morality. You proudly advertise your religious services and offer tokens of advice and sympathy when necessary. However, despite your holy profession, you harbor a secret desire for love.

You're Lady Bracknel!.

You married into wealthy and aristocracy, and these are what you value most of all. You believe that every person has his or her place in society, and that it's impudent for anyone to try to rise above this position. Despite your rather harsh expectations, however, you do have the best interests of your family (especially your daughter, Gwendolen, and your nephew Algernon) at heart.

You're Lane, the Butler!

As Algernon's trustworthy servant, you hear all manner of secrets and intrigue, but you bear it all with great dignity and more than a little sarcasm. You're a bit old and doddery, as you've been with the family for years--no one's really sure how long. That doesn't mean you don't have fun: You regularly finish off Algy's supply of champagne and sherry. But really, who can blame you?
