"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895. Set in Victorian London, the play is a satirical exploration of the social conventions and hypocrisy of the time. At its core is the clever use of mistaken identities and the creation of fictional characters that allow the protagonists to lead double lives. The plot revolves around two friends, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who both use the fictitious name "Ernest" to escape their respective social obligations. Their dual identities lead to a series of humorous misunderstandings and romantic entanglements. The play also introduces memorable characters such as the witty Gwendolen and the pragmatic Cecily, who become romantically involved with Jack and Algernon.
