The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde)

Characters: 

John (Jack/Ernest) Worthing.

Algernon Moncrieff.

Gwendolen Fairfax.

Cecily Cardew.

Lady Bracknell.

Miss Prism. 

Rev. Canon Chasuble. 

Event: 
This play took place in London.

From the play, there are some aspects that I would like to mention.

1.      The importance of a family name in that society: Even though Jack was a rich person, but without a respectable last name, Lady Bracknell was not interested in letting her only daughter marry him.

2.      The greedy society: It was noted how important money and power was at that time for the man if he wanted to marry a noble woman.

3.      The Bunbury: This might represent what Oscar Wilde had to go through as a homosexual man. It is also a critic to demonstrate what a man usually did to cover their incorrect actions.

Significant Quote:

 “Nothing will induce me to part with Bunbury, and if you ever get married, which seems to me extremely problematic, you will be very glad to know Bunbury. A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it.” (Algernon).
