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?

The Importance of Being Earnest quotes

  • Algy: But why does your aunt call you her uncle?

    [Reading cigarette case]

    Algy: "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I can't quite make out.

  • [over the end credits, Algy and Jack rehearse their song to win back their girls]

    Jack: I think your high notes may have damaged our chances, old boy. You do want them to come down, don't you?

    Algy: Well, they're never going to come down while you're singing like that, you're completely out of tune.

    Jack: How dare you.

    Algy: I'll take this next bit.

    Jack: You leave this one to me, you go and have a lie-down.

    Algy: I'm doing it.

    Jack: Move out of my way, I'm coming through.

    Algy: Go easy, my dear fellow...

    Jack: [singing] COME DO-O-O-O-WN, LADY COME DOWN...

    Algy: Overdoing it, less is more.
