Group Essay: Nikki H, Madison, and I

The topic of my paragraph is about marriage and how it has changed from the Victorian Era all the way till now. Such as the expectations, judgments, and how married couples treated each other when they were married. The first topic that I will be talking about is when Algernon tells Jack marriage is a business instead of pleasure. Next, I will be talking about when Lady Bracknell says "An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant, or unpleasant. Lastly, I will be talking about when Algernon says "Divorces are made in heaven."

All of those different quotes have to do with different opinions on marriage and how much differently people expected marriage to be. Like for example marriage is more of a pleasure than a business if you think about how people would look at it. They had different things that were expected of them and were needed from them in order to have a marriage happen.
