Jack is concerned with making sure that Gwendolen is happy, but Lady Bracknell is concerned only with whether Jack can prove he has important family members. Lady Bracknell’s response is ridiculous because it is impossible to expect Jack to miraculously find one of his parents. Jack’s offer to produce the handbag as a suitable substitute for his parents highlights how ridiculous her request is.


Hope this helps :)
