These set of lines satirize the Victorians' tendency to place wealth above other factors in deciding whether a person was eligible for marriage:
- Lady Bracknell: That sounds not unsatisfactory. Three addresses always inspire confidence, even in tradesmen. .. ( Lady Bracknell is interested in learning about Cecily's background. She makes this comment after she has learnt that Cecily comes from well-known families).
- Jack: [Very irritably.] How extremely kind of you, Lady Bracknell! I have also in my possession, you will be pleased to hear, certificates of Miss Cardew's birth, baptism, whooping cough, registration, vaccination, confirmation, and the measles; both the German and the English variety. ( The fact that certificates are in German reflects that Cecily comes from a prestigious family).
