<u>Answer</u>:

Based on the characterization in the plot of “The Importance of Being Earnest,” John Worthing's personality is best described as being<u> serious and in love</u>. Thus, option A fits as the right answer here.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Oscar Wilde through this character represents a set of ideas or attitudes. The character John/Jack represents an upper-class character leading a life of respect in the country and that of deception for pleasure in the city. It also allows the reader to explore the attitudes of Victorian rituals like courtship and marriage.

The surname Worthing is also used to point out at the character’s worthiness allowing the author to mock the so called correct mannerisms of the Victorian society. The character Jack uses wit to respond or react about social attitudes and norms.

He longs for respect in order to marry his only love Gwendolen and is eager to do anything for it. Later, he does earn that respectful place in the society which he had criticised. Wilde shows that though Jack longs for respect he can’t let go of his wit and rebellious attitude towards the nitty-gritty of the Victorian society.
