"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedic play by Oscar Wilde that satirizes Victorian society and its conventions. The story revolves around two bachelors, Jack and Algernon, who create fictional identities to escape their social obligations. Jack, who uses the name "Ernest" to court Gwendolen, faces complications when Algernon pursues Jack's ward, Cecily, while also posing as "Ernest." As misunderstandings and mistaken identities unfold, the characters navigate love, deception, and the absurdities of societal expectations. Wilde's witty dialogue and sharp commentary on the trivialities of life highlight the importance of being true to oneself amidst the farcical nature of social norms.
