Body paragraph

Algernon and Cecily are almost as phony a couple as the sum of their parts. First off one of algernons Bunburys is how Algernon and Cecily first meet. "you young scoundrel Algy, you must get out of this place as soon as possible. I don't allow any Bunburying here." Algernon had lied that he is Ernest, Jacks troublesome brother. On top of that Algernon and Cecily had met on false pretenses. Cecily on the other hand lied to herself and and forged notes that of what Ernest would have wrote to her. " I was forced to write these letters for you. Cecily had now made herself a fantasy fiance. Last but not least Algernon wants to change his name to Ernest which is not an earnest thing to do. To sum up you can see that Algernon and Cecilys relationship is one big fantasy.
