Answer:

Gwendolen portrays Victorian qualities of being superficial. Gwendolen's lines imply that her brother is flirtatious.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oscar Wild’s one of the most famous play ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ is all about how wealth and status overweight love, and how too much importance is placed on materialistic things.

The excerpt provided is a conversation between Jack and Gwendolen. Here Gwendolen acts as superficial by being interested only in Gwendolen looks. On the other hand, whatever Gwendolen states about her brother Gerald, implies that he is flirtatious who go on flirting with every other girl. Gwendolen know this because his brother even flirts with her girl-friends.
