Title: The
importance of being Earnest
Author: Oscar Wilde
Genre: play
Rating: 
A very uncomplicated
and amusing play. This play has everything a good classic play should have:
characters with secrets, a situation that starts easy but spins out of control
in no time, love interests, confusion of tongues, little fights, a moral and a
happy ending.
The characters with
secrets are John/Jack and Algernon. The love interests are Lane and Cecily. The
situation is John wanting to marry Cecily, but she only wants to marry an
Earnest. The confusion is in all the names the characters have. The fight is
between Algernon and John. The moral is: be yourself and truthful and the happy
ending...well, I think I don't have to say anything about that.
Read and enjoy!
