Answer:

The theme about the unexpected good endings to problems is supported mainly through the character of Mrs. Pringle. The problem of who and how many guests arises from what she wants and is presented through her words and actions. At the end of the play, she announces the unexpected ending by stating how happy she is to have the Prince of Wales instead of Oliver Farnsworth, whom she had been counting on.

All three characters support the theme of people going overboard to reach high social standing. Mrs. Pringle supports this in her reasons for having the party in the first place and the fuss she makes over the details. The words and actions of Elaine and Dunham support the theme in that they provide the ideas that feed Mrs. Pringle’s frustration. They keep her updated on the changing number of guests and the situation regarding the amount of food.
