Oscar Wilde wrote a play called “The Importance of Being Earnest” and it was first performed in 1895. The play is about the characters that have different identities and do not always tell the truth.

Parker keeps the meaning‚ tone‚ structure‚ text‚ and theme the same compared to the play. Parker expands‚ energizes

References to “Lady Bracknell”‚ “Mr Moncrieff’s manservant” and the “governess” indicate that play involves wealthy upper class. The characters are of course constructs – Wilde uses them merely as mouth pieces to express/parody value judgements about morality and Victorian ideals of duty and virtue. Premise of the play is creation of a paradox – explores inability/impossibility of being

The definition of accountability comes from the state of being accountable; liability to be called on to render an account; the obligation to bear the consequences for failure to perform as expected; accountableness. The importance of being on time accounted for is because lets say that you do not come back to formation after you go out on a convoy then they know that you are missing.
