There are many resolutions towards the end of the play, the biggest resolution is the fact that Jack now has status within society because he has found his family. He has found his brother Algernon so he always did have a brother even though he was caught out for making one up. "I knew i had a brother. Cecily- how could you have doubted that i had a brother" He is now also able to marry Gwendolen as Lady Bracknell insisted upon him finding his family before even contemplating marriage with Gwendolen. "Gwendolen. (embraces her) At last" This shows that their long waited ordeal is finally over and now they can be happy together. Another resolution is the fact that Jacks name was Ernest all along so he wasnt lying and this also is beneficial to Gwendolen as she "was destined to marry an Ernest"
Miss Prism has finally been re united with her bag which adds humour into the play as she is more concerned with the fact that she has her hand bag back but she doesnt question where the baby is.
The satrical purpose of the play is that at the beginning in the play Jack had wealth however he had no family or status however this has been resolved and he has everything he needs to fit in within Victorian society. there is also the theme of hypocrisy because even though Lady Bracknell has not got a wealthy background she expected Jack to have one. Lady Bracknell was married into a wealthy family she didnt have one of her own so she was being a hypocrite.
