The Importance of Being Earnest

While reading the play The Importance of Being Earnest, one serious theme that I noticed was the consistent act of deception throughout the entire play. However this lack of honesty was not lonesome for insightful comedy and a visible foreshadowing of upcoming events accompanied it. Meaning that the play was cleverly written with humor and provided us with an obvious chain of facts that would lead up to us unraveling the end of the play. …showed first 75 words of 566 total…

These two particular characters find comfort and trivial value in the name Ernest since all they wanted to do was marry a man who holds that name. Sometimes there is just a natural progression of lies. Once it starts, it continues and that is evident within the characters of this play. That is why there is always an “Importance of Being Earnest”.
