"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a satirical play written by Oscar Wilde. It tells the story of two friends, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who create fictional personas to escape the constraints of Victorian society. Jack pretends to be his own brother, Ernest, in the city, while Algernon assumes the role of Jack's fictional brother Ernest, in the country. The play revolves around mistaken identities, witty dialogue, and social hypocrisy. As the plot unfolds, both men's deceptions unravel, leading to humorous and chaotic situations.
