Notes

The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedic play by Oscar Wilde that satirizes the social norms and expectations of Victorian society. Through witty dialogue and absurd situations, Wilde explores themes of identity, marriage, and the trivialities of high society. The play's clever use of mistaken identities and the concept of "earnestness" highlights the superficial nature of social conventions, making it a timeless commentary on the absurdities of maintaining appearances. Wilde's humor and sharp critique of societal norms make the play a lasting classic in English literature.
