Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy that used the figure of the upper class dandy to critique the narrow-mindedness of the middle class in the 1890s.

ruling classes kept the masses supine. Now it may seem elitist‚ even sneering‚ to ask what the opium of the people is‚ what keeps us—or‚ worse‚ "them"—down when we could be up‚ soporific when we should be fighting for a better world.
