The following points were expected from the candidates:
- Gwendolen Fairfax is Algernon’s cousin and Lady Bracknell’s daughter.
- Her fashionable, but artificial pretentious nature.
- Her obsession with marrying a man called Ernest which sustains the plot
- Her exposition of society’s misplaced notion about the nature of men.
- Her leads to Jack’s decision to be christened, hence the revelation that Jack is actually Ernest by name.
The question was fairly attempted by candidates.
