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.

Importance of Being Earnest Act 1 Characters immediately establish the tone and social context of the play. 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.
