Answer:

The character of Lady Bracknell was seen in a way that she represents British aristocracy. Wilde expresses her snobbishness and hypocrisy when Jack refuses Cecily and Algy to marry if Bracknell doesn't let him marry Gwendolen. Lady Bracknell refuses, showing her standing by and embracing the principles of British aristocracy.
