The Tragedy Of Timothy Lawrence

By stating that he did not know anyone by the name of Cecily, Jack initiates his own debacle. He has to clarify that Cecily is actual his ward. Nonetheless, Jack bears no anguish to dissembling to his closest companion. Jack’s morality has been impaired by his lies and it implies that his animalistic qualities control him. Yet, he falls in love and he must tell Gwendolen, his sweetheart, of his morally wrong character. In order to do so Jack has to disclose that Ernest was not in fact his real name but a mere alias created to cover up his dastardly ways. He can think of no other way than to “kill” his brother. Wilde shows how Jack’s urbane nature begins to be marred by his animalism since he was willing to kill a man, fictional or not. Ensuing in the play Jack is speaking with Algernon and he begins to ponder on how to commit the murder. He states “My poor brother Ernest is carried off suddenly in Paris, by a severe chill. That gets rid of him” (Wilde 16). Though fictional, Jack’s murder of Ernest still seems to carry the same implications further into the book. This murder eventually skews his reputation once his lies become known. Wilde proves how Jack’s lies soon catch up to him and flaw his esteemed moral persona. Later in the play Algernon sets off on a trip to Jack’s country estate and claims he is Ernest Worthing. Later when Jack arrives Cecily informs her caretaker that his brother Ernest is in his room. Jack replies

At the beginning of the novel, Golding describes Jack's physical appearance as "inside the floating cloak he was tall, thin and bony;

Candy threw his legs off his bunk. He scratched the white stubble whiskers on his cheek nervously. “I’m so used to him,” he said softly. “I had him from a pup.”

Jack is more conservative when it comes to his lifestyle in the country. He does not want a boring life that’s only meant for business so he makes up a fake brother named Ernest. This leads him to live a double-life because he goes by the name Ernest when

Jack Worthing lived a double life where his alter ego was Ernest Worthing. This alter identity lived in the city and acted as a gentleman to impress a young lady named Gwendolen. Jack’s true identity resided in the country caring for Cecily. Cecily believed that Ernest was Jack’s troubled brother, therefore it was comprehensible that Jack would leave the country suddenly to go to the city to visit his brother. Jack’s double life had remained secret until Algernon discovered a cigarette case with Jack’s name on it, forcing Jack to reveal that his name is “Ernest in town and Jack in the country, and the cigarette case was given to [him] in the country” (Wilde 12). The alter identity developed by Jack was merely a dream. The dreamer archetype allows dreamers to

Colonel Lambert and his men were feeling a bit train fever they had been cooped up for days on the train. They had been moving slowly through northern Virginia the tracks had been blocked, removed or even destroyed purposely. The only reason people had blocked the tracks was because for some reason camps had built up around them, perhaps because they were open areas that had already been cleared. Maybe because it brought back memories of another time but people built camps right over them. People were surprised to see the huge black behemoth in same cases barreling down on them, one of the reasons they had slowed down a bit. There was one instance where they had plowed through one camp in the middle of the night, damn near killed everyone and those that survived needless to say weren’t happy, they kept moving.

Lawrence Thomas stops each day in front of the large framed photo that's hanging in his home and speaks to the man he considered a brother.

The physical appearance of Jack also changes greatly within the novel. Golding portrays Jack’s fixation with hunting to cause this. At the beginning of the novel, his image is described as like the other choirboys, wearing shorts, a shirt and a black cloak, “finished off with a hambone frill”. However, we see that in Chapter three, his physical characteristics have now changed from a choirboy to a hunter. This is shown where it says, “His bare back was a mass of dark freckles and peeling sunburn…he was naked.". His image also becomes

Jack illustrates the purpose of deception by using Earnest to escape his role of Cecily’s warden. When Algernon finds Jack’s cigarette case, he is shocked to find the name Jack graven inside. Jack attempts to explain by saying, “[M]y name is Ernest in town and Jack in the country” (Wilde Act I). As Jack, he has to be a responsible adult and take care of his niece Cecily but as Ernest he is able to live the wild life of a young bachelor. By pretending to be Ernest in town, Jack is freed from the restrictions of being a caretaker, yet he still fulfills the duties of one as he resides in the country. While explaining why he has two identities to Algernon, Jack states that being a guardian does not “conduce very much to either one’s health or one’s happiness” (Wilde Act I). Jack has to take care of Cecily, be responsible for her, and set rules and guidelines for her to follow. In his role of guardian, he finds himself unable to have fun, so he creates an irresponsible, carefree

The most vivid scene to me, occurs when Jack begins to battle with his inner demons. He begins by saying, “I WAS a liar. Even though I lived in a place where everyone knew who I was, I couldn’t help but try to introduce new versions of myself as my interests changed, and as other versions failed to persuade. I was also a thief,” he admits to the readers (Wolff 133).

Timothy cod- Timothy cod was an ordinary boy had lots of friends but was a bit nerdy. He enjoyed reading and he always aced his tests and asked for the teacher to give him more homework. People in his class thought he was lovely and his work was phenomenal, but what they didn't know was that he was depressed, he always tried and tried to impress his family

We can all imagine Jack with his hair, the way it had become longer as he had no way to cut it or for it to be cutted and how we can all visualise how the sun beat down bleaching his hair (as it being bleached by the sun, making it a much lighter colour). Jack also having a bare back with a mass of freckles on it and a peeling sunburn, would suggest to us (the readers) that Jack has been on the island for a long time, long enough to get sunburnt and for his skin to now be peeling

Jack’s creation of a fictional brother Ernest gives audience an impression that he is a hypocritical person who ignores the consequences of being dishonest. Only when his desire to marry Gwendolen is threatened does he learn that he cannot escape from responsibility or “come up to town as often as [he] like[s]” (Act 1, p.8). Suffering from the dilemma, his hidden sincerity and kindness are discovered. This makes him become a rounder character. As a consequence, the rest of the plot will be affected and advanced by his unique traits and

Although Jack felt societal pressure to create the persona of Ernest, they are still the same man, having
