Unable to accept changes to the ending!

Give Wilde one more star. It was a little embarrassing at the beginning, and the characters in the second half of the plot did not really reach the high comedy comedy conflict standard that I imagined. Cecily is the second romantic girl in my imagination. Lady Bracknell is a bit more serious than I thought, completely unsmiling and serious (I thought she was the kind of character with a natural sense of humor) The most intolerable thing is! Actually finally changed Jack's name to John. I can't understand why this change is necessary. Because Wilde’s original intention is fiction turning into reality; life is about self-invention. Does the director think it is politically correct to change to Jack to lie?

    Wilde is a good door. Good door, good door.

The Importance of Being Earnest quotes

  • [Jack tells Lady Bracknell his address in London]

    Lady Bracknell: The unfashionable side. I thought there was something.

    [she reaches for the bell, but reconsiders and pulls back]

    Lady Bracknell: However, that could easily be altered.

    Jack: Do you mean the fashion, or the side?

    Lady Bracknell: Well, both, if necessary, I presume!

  • Algy: Bunbury? He was quite *exploded*.

    Lady Bracknell: Exploded?

    Algy: [pretending sadness] Mm.

    Lady Bracknell: Was he the victim of some revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation.

    Algy: My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was *found out*. The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live - that is what I mean - so Bunbury died.

    Lady Bracknell: He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians.
