In The Importance of Being Earnest, Jack and Algernon, are two characters who have different characteristics. Each of them creates another character. Jack creates Ernest and Algernon creates Bunbury. Having two different names, they can do anything in two different places, in the town and in the country. In addition, the main characters experience both internal and external conflict during the drama. Mainly, both Jack and Algernon have the same internal conflict. They concern if someday their real identity would be revealed by their girls. Meanwhile Jack's conflict toward Lady Bracknell about his origin makes him try hard to reveal it. Algernon's undercover as Ernest at Manor House, Jack's place, makes their real identity are finally revealed and clear up Jack's origin through Miss Prism and Lady Bracknell's explanation. In conclusion, the internal and external conflicts of Jack and Algernon lead to the revelation of Jack's origin.
