Algermon is used as a burlesque character to poke fun at High Victorian society,

Explanation:

Algermon is a burlesque who has lascivious impulses and is someone who is willing to subvert the morals of his time to his ends while he pretends to be, and pulls off the image of a successful Victorian gentleman.

He creates a persona to get the girl he wants to get and has no qualms or guilt for misleading her.

He is also willingly getting into trouble with other men often times just to have some fun.

His attitude throws shade against the morality of the Victorian age
