First, please use good grammar in posting questions. Titles of plays should be underlined or in italics, but since we can't do that here, put them in quotation marks and use appropriate capitalization. Second, I don't remember a character named "lager", capitalized or not.
To address your question, how are these characters revealed by what they say in the play? What do we learn about them in the dialogue assigned to them? How are they similar or different is something you should be able to tell by reading the play. I recommend reading it. It's very funny.
To analyze how the characters Jack and Algernon are developed through dialogue in the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, you can follow these steps:
1. Read and familiarize yourself with the entire play: Start by reading the play thoroughly. It will help you understand the characters, their personalities, and their interactions with other characters.
2. Identify key dialogues: Look for significant dialogues involving Jack and Algernon. Focus on scenes where they are present together or when they talk about each other.
3. Examine their language and tone: Pay attention to their choice of words, sentence structures, and overall language style. Observe their use of humor, wit, irony, or sarcasm. Note if their language differs from other characters and the effect it has on the scene or other characters.
4. Analyze their character development: Look for changes in their personalities or attitudes through the course of the play. Consider if their dialogues reveal their growth, conflicts, or revelations. Examine how their conversations unfold and what impact it has on their individual stories.
5. Compare and contrast their similarities and differences: While analyzing their dialogues, compare the characters of Jack and Algernon. Look for similarities in their attitudes, values, or behaviors. Also, identify the differences in their backgrounds, motivations, or aspirations. Note how their dialogues portray their similarities and differences.
6. Support your analysis with evidence: Quote specific dialogues that showcase the development of Jack and Algernon's characters. Use these lines as evidence to support your analysis of their similarities and differences.
