The Importance Of Being Earnest

Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a satirical masterpiece that stands as one of the wittiest and most enduring comedies in English literature. First performed in 1895, the play is a sharp critique of the social conventions and hypocrisy prevalent in Victorian society. Wilde employs a clever and humorous exploration of mistaken identities, absurd situations, and trivial concerns to expose the artificiality and superficiality of the upper echelons of society. The characters’ preoccupation with maintaining the illusion of earnestness while engaging in farcical situations creates a delightful comedic tension that satirizes the rigid expectations of the time. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.14, kg Written_By: Oscar, Wilde Publisher: Fingerprint!, Publishing Book Type: Fiction Best For: Personal, Transformation Ages: 12+ Binding: Paperback Edition: Latest, edition, (1, April, 2015) Isbn: 978-8175992856 Language: English Pages: 120 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 20.3, x, 25.4, x, 4.7, cm Total Pages: 120
