It is a sparkling and distinguished comedy, full of the language games that characterized the author's writings. Oscar Wilde subtitled it as 'A trivial comedy for serious people'. Its original title is ''The importance of being earnest''. 'Earnest' means serious, formal, with the same pronunciation as the name Ernest.????Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing, two lucky and likeable boys from the upper social class, whenever they find maintaining good appearances in their environment suffocating, use a 'resource' (which I will not reveal in this introduction so as not to spoil the listening) that they have devised to make their social obligations more bearable and to be able to have some recreational time in their lives. This 'resource' will become more complicated and tangled, at the moment when love arises with the virtuous Gundelinda Fairfax and Cecilia Cardew, two girls who are clear about the requirements that their suitors must meet, especially in terms of formality and name ... They will encounter the obstruction of Lady Bracknell (Algernon's aunt and Gundelinda's mother), who conceives marriage as a tool for social status, and who has inflexible ideas that (in a tone of ''Wilderian'' paradox), can always change????Oscar Wilde uses paradox (a figure of thought that uses expressions that involve contradiction and at the same time a certain sense and coherence) including it in agile dialogues and creating situations of funny absurdity. The premiere of the work in London, on February 14, 1895, was a great success, which was marred by the scandal generated by the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde three months later for 'gross indecency'. The Importance of Being Earnest was Wilde's last comedy and is considered one of his best works. ????If you liked it, consider subscribing, liking, commenting or sharing... your contribution means a lot!
