One example of the value of social status and wealth being shown in "The Importance of Being Earnest" is when Lady Bracknell expresses her preference for Algernon as a suitor for her daughter Gwendolen over Jack. She says:
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever." (Act 1)
