hey group kids, aka TELTIBE reppin'
my three points about aunt agusta are her saying she doesn't want to undecieve her husband, her thinkning that cecily is more attractive with money and her saying that jack is not on her list of eligible young men.
how do you think i should order them and transition to the next paragraph? whomever goes after me. I am also having trouble bringing it all together.

Earnest Research
In researching the Victorian Era I didn't see much need. but then getting into the play I am glad we were required too. It made two things more easy to understand. the first being the marriage factor and the second the classes playing a huge roll in everything.
In marriage, I would have been quite confused by why an 18 year old woman would want to marry a 30 something year old man. the woman would have been lucky to get someone this young it was typical for men in their forties to marry teenagers. which now is rare if not illegal depending on the age of the teenager. The role of the actual marriage is only to bond two families wealth. so this marriage of love is a strange thing of the times as alluded to by the men when they said, "The number of women in London who flirt with their husbands is perfectly scandalous!" this just shows that marriage is not a thing of romance purely wealth.
that brings me to the class section of this blog. The classes are a huge role in everything that happened in the time. I always thought of the butlers as sassy and very pessimistic due to them working for someone of higher class than them. This is proven when lane says, "It never is, sir." in regards to Algernon telling him that tomorrow is going to be a good day. The classes have a roll in the marriage too, as soon as Aunt Augusta learns that Cecily has a huge amount of money she is interested in her. this is because if her nephew Algernon marries her she gets a large amount of wealth and based on many hours of research I can conclude that class is directly related to wealth.
