Wilde Is Clearly Making Fun - Unmasking The Hypocrisy Of Victorian Society - But The Theme Of The Double In Tiobe Has Also Another Function.

The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde, which was first performed in 1895. It is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations / conventions of late Victorian London, and institutions such as marriage and the Victorian ways are throughly trivialized.
