Characters Ê The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays 102 Oscar Wilde ✓ 2 Review Summary The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays Ntic pursuits Hailed as the first modern comedy in England THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is Wilde's most famous work This collection also features two other plays that Wilde penned earlier in his career LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN and AN IDEAL HUSBAND that also display his ability to convey warmth and wit through his hilarious characters and their outlandish situations. Oscar Wilde is such joyous fun He makes us look at ourselves in the most ironic and funny ways Certainly he was a master of satire and in this play he has presented the characters in what I have come to think of as the stiff British way I loved that is poked a great deal of fun at the staid Victorian period Mr Wilde himself was certainly everything else but staid and perhaps in thinking of him we see a man born before his timeThe play on the words Earnest is fun and yet its does point to the hypocrisy of the time Men say silly things woman fall in love with illusions and the whole thing becomes a farce is clearly seen throughout this hysterical story which makes the reader oftentimes lol Short and to the point this play must have ruffled a few Victorian feathers as I am sure that was the intent Earnestness was the avenue to reform at the time and to make the poorer class better Oscar takes this word and has his way with it and ultimately makes this satirical piece flick its nose at the staid and proper British s of Victorian times
