Oscar Wilde‚ author of the play The Importance of Being Earnest‚ once said “man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask‚ and he will tell you the truth.” Wilde understands that everyone has their own way of hiding the truth about who they truly are and everyone has their own way of how they portray that side of themselves. In The Importance of Being Earnest‚ many characters use the technique of bunburying to hide their true selves and escape from reality. Proper etiquette

Traits of Fantasy. The identifying traits of fantasy are the inclusion of fantastic elements in a self-coherent setting.

They cleaned the house‚ washed the clothes and dishes‚ did the cooking‚ and took care of the kids when they got home from school or when they stayed home from school for being sick

Wilde uses puns throughout this play‚ but the major pun is found within the title. In The Importance of Being Earnest‚ the pun‚ widely considered to be the lowest form of verbal wit‚ is rarely just a play on words.

The earnest/Ernest joke strikes at the very heart of Victorian notions of respectability and duty. Gwendolen

Another of Wilde’s plays‚ and perhaps his most famous‚ The Importance of Being Earnest‚ is a comedy‚ and so it is easy for the audience to become entranced by the humor of the show without examining the underlying symbolism and satire that makes it so funny.
