I also believe this statement to be false because we do have something to see and hold‚ and this would be the bible.

Ironically for a comedy‚ suffering and cruelty lie at the heart of the play‚ how far do you agree with this view?

The comedy of the Importance of Being Earnest uses spoken language to convey comical actions rather than physical actions. The Importance of Being Ernest is a drama because of its origins as a play‚ but also a contextual comedy as the characters follow the general format of falling in love with each other and ending with the idea of marriage. However‚ the play is also very satirical‚ making light of the aristocratic classes‚ exaggerating the upper-class morals and the frivolity of the characters
