Wit:The humor in this play is presented as a comical farce. The unknown truth creates suspense while the characters get lost in deceptions.
Absurdity: "You are perfectly right in making some slight alteration. Indeed, no woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating..." (p.180) Lady Bracknell approves of Cecily's disguised age, this expresses her superficial views on love.
Social Convention: The characters all gather at the end of the play for a grand conclusion to reveal the truth about everybody's relations.

Ella,
Excellent quotes from the text to demonstrate examples of wit, absurdity and social convention. Link these all together to show how they help create humor.
