Eli Graded Readers: The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde - Summary:

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” Oscar Wilde

One of Oscar Wilde’s funniest plays, The Importance of Being Earnest was described by the dramatist as being ‘a trivial comedy for serious people’. The satire is biting, as Wilde uses wit and humour to expose some of the trivialities and inconsistencies of Victorian society.
