The Importance of Being Earnest

Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, this classic satire explores the absurdities of social conventions through the deceptions of its characters. John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff engage in a humorous scheme, each adopting the other's fictitious persona to navigate their romantic pursuits. As they unravel their lies, the play highlights the triviality of societal expectations and the lengths individuals go to escape them. With its witty dialogue and farcical situations, it remains one of Wilde's most celebrated works.
