Group essay dealio

OK, so I am doing my paragraph on the stereotypes/satire on men in the book and Victorian era. My first concrete detail is when lady Bracknell is talking about what occupations men should have and smoking. my commentary about this is about her thinking that men need "something" to do in their lives. and seeing as the upper class men will never work a day in their lives. smoking is a good occupation. my second concrete detail happens to be Algernon talking about how awfully hard it is to do nothing. My 2 commentaries about this are that men in the upper class of the Victorian era, really never did anything, and also that they could have gotten a job, but they chose to do nothing anyways. My third concrete detail is when lady Bracknell is talking about her husbands occupation. Which (big surprise) is staying at home doing nothing) Lady bracknell is controlling and wont let her husband do anything. also, lord bracknell doesn't care. he's rich, comfortable, and lazy. Why should he do anything?
