SUMMARY OF A WORK

The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy by Oscar Wilde about two men, Jack and Algernon, who call themselves ‘Ernest’ to escape social norms and seeduced two women. The lies are compounded when the women discover the truth; the play critiques marriage and identity through absurd and humorous situations.
