Algernon is a young man from an important family, unfortunately, he is also broke. He is romantic, sometimes deceptive, and extremely protective of his cousin Gwendolen.

ALG: My dear fellow, the way you flirt with Gwendolen is perfectly disgraceful. It is almost as bad as the way Gwendolen flirts with you.

ALG: My dear fellow, Gwendolen is my first cousin. And before I allow you to marry her, you will have to clear up the whole question of Cecily.
