Question

Who is Cecily?

• A. Jack’s young ward
• B. Algernon’s cousin
• C. Lady Bracknell’s niece
• D. A housemaid

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Jack’s young ward

Cecily is probably the most realistically drawn character in the play, and she is the only character who does not speak in epigrams. Her charm lies in her idiosyncratic cast of mind and her imaginative capacity, qualities that derive from Wilde's notion of life as a work of art.
