Oscar Wilde uses the text to reflect his own experience with an ignorant society; Oliver Parker does not replicate this in the 2002 film version of ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ as he does not have the emotional influences that Wilde had.

in conveying and portraying the theme of love in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet- The stage production or the film version? Shakespeare used many different ways to portray love in his writing. In the Baz Luhramnn’s film version and Bell Shakespeare’s production of Romeo and Juliet we see various methods and techniques to show the different aspects of love.
