Even though Cecily is suspicious of Algernon’s

“The Importance of Being Earnest” and “The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” outweigh the chance of a meaningful similarity.

The use of social masks and the act of “bunburying” have a strong correlation within the play. In modern American culture, we use social masks to appear to belong better to the environment where we are.
