The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

so entertaining and clever, starting with just the title and the earnest / ernest play on words. i always think stories with a character living a double life are fun so i'm not surprised i liked this. i also love oscar wilde's work, plays included. i enjoyed the commentary on morality and marriage, wilde is so good at critiquing the victorian upper class in an amusing way.
