"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedic play by Oscar Wilde that explores themes of identity, social norms, and the nature of love. The story revolves around two main characters, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create alter egos to escape their social obligations and pursue romantic interests. Jack pretends to be "Ernest" to win the affection of Gwendolen, while Algernon adopts the same name to woo Jack's ward, Cecily. The characters navigate a web of deception, leading to humorous misunderstandings and ultimately revealing the absurdities of Victorian society and the importance of being honest about one’s true self.
