The Importance of Being Earnest is Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece, a witty satire on Victorian society that uses mistaken identity and absurd situations to mock social conventions, particularly marriage and morality, through the story of two men who invent alter egos named "Ernest" to escape their responsibilities and woo women who are fixated on that name.
The play is famous for its clever dialogue, paradoxes, and memorable characters like the formidable Lady Bracknell, and it culminates in the revelation that the name "Ernest" is the key to the protagonists' true identities and happiness.
It remains one of the most popular and frequently performed plays in the English language, celebrated for its enduring humor and sharp social commentary.
