Once this connection is drawn, it becomes easier to see how Wilde’s personal life correlates with that of the play. The concept of ‘bunburying’ is essentially when someone is living a double life. The leading character goes by Jack Worthing in the country and by Ernest Worthing in town, where he can live a more socially pleasurable life. This would hint at Wilde’s double life as, having an affair for two year with another man, he had two children and a wife. Throughout the play Jack was looking for a way to rid himself of the name Ernest, but wasn’t successful. The truth was finally revealed and Jack found out that his christened name was Ernest. As stated by Gladden, the end of the play has a strong connection to Wilde’s personal life; he relates the character of Jack to Oscar Wilde in the way they have lived their lifestyles. Lady Bracknell uses powerful language by stating that Jack has already been enjoying the lifestyle of Ernest. Jack uses falsehood and secrecy to live a life as Ernest - the complete opposite of what his life would be as simply Jack. Gladden relates this to the life of Wilde - his homosexuality plays a large role in this instance because he too, has been using falsehood and secrecy to live a life as a homosexual individual (Gladden 2010).
