Importance of Being Earnest, The
| Author: Oscar Wilde | |
| Premiered: 1895 | Work Type: Play |
| Description: Oscar Wilde's famous comedic play about two bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create fictional identities to escape social obligations, leading to mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and witty critiques of Victorian society's obsession with class, marriage, and "earnestness" (sincerity). The plot revolves around their invented alter egos, "Ernest," and culminates in the revelation that Jack is actually Algernon's older brother, whose real name is indeed Ernest, resolving the central conflict in a farcical conclusion. | |
