Thursday task- Lane (unfinished)

List of instructions to the replacement 


1) Firstly, make sure that you assist Mr Moncreiff with everything he commands, from time to time he will need the help as I find it a hassle to follow along with his rules.
2) Make sure that the maids are directed in the proper way, especially when they clean up. I usually tell them that they have to clean the drawing room which gets messy easily but with more help the job will be done.
3) You will need to be present with Mr Moncreiff when he is attending his 4 o'clock  tea time slot which involves waiting upon him and making sure the food is to his taste. If not then you will have to go back to the cooks and discuss the problem.
4) Mr Moncreiff usually has his friends who visit him occasionally to talk business, as it is known he is a man of many leisures. This involves dinner being served and assistance being present so this helps the night go smoothly. 
5) To keep on track, Sir does enjoy playing on the piano most days in the afternoon, if he does not have any business to attend to, this means that you will have to aware of this. You might find that he plays for a number of hours which can, for me, help me to think but do make sure that you do not comment upon this, as he is not fond of this.
6) Furthermore he's other most fond activity is eating, mostly cucumber sandwiches. He orders this mostly every lunch time which I find helps keep down his temper. I remember that he was very fond of them when I placed them down one time when his guest Jack was coming to visit, I found that he had been eating all the sandwiches on the plate which involved me intervening but it does seem that will happen that regularly now.
7) You might also find that Mr Moncreiff likes to talk late hours with his trusted friend Mr Worthing, they both have very different views but converse words on similar lines. I find that Mr Moncreiff has his own views which I have not the place to comment upon however I do stress that you should not give the opinions that you want to express, definitely not in front of Sir.

Explain how the play resolves

The resolution of the story is very important as it helps bring to light the clear message that the author wants the reader to understand. We can began to see that the characters positions change once the news of Jack arises. In this case we see that Lady Bracknell begins to change her views, even though she helps the process of the news carry along. All throughout the play, her attitude to Jack is not very positive but as we carry on, there are present reactions which evidently change. Her relationship with Jack and all the other characters do not seem to change but she is the reason of Jack finally discovering who he is which might suggest the ultimate resolution. Her feelings towards Jack although do not change as she comments on the name of his 'father,' 'Yes, I remember now that the General was called Ernest, I knew I had some particular reason for disliking the name.'

I also find that Miss Prism has a very good reason for the resolution of the play because she helps bring forth the importance of who Jack is. She doesn't really have a full time presence in the play but it is obvious that all the characters are present in the play and that she is seen to be the one with the news in the last act. The fact that Oscar Wilde uses Miss Prism to deliver the message seems to show that middle status lady





Equilibrium-
Disequilibrium-
New equilibrium-The Lady Bracknell and Miss Prism helps solve the resolution of the play and so Jack finds out his identity.
