now realized for the first time in my
life the vital importance of being
honest this place full title is the
importance of Being Earnest a trivial
comedy for serious people welcome to
watchmojo.com and in this installment of
mojo notes we’ll be exploring 10 things
you should know about Oscar Wilde’s The
Importance of Being Earnest
Hellinger by having sake stop playing
that ghastly tomb number ten about the
author born in Dublin Ireland in 1854
Oscar Wilde was exposed to the worlds of
medicine and culture by his successful
parents while studying the classics and
reading The Grapes during college
he joined artistic and literary
movements he became known for his
writing especially his poems plays and
Soul novel during the late 19th century
after being imprisoned for his lifestyle
choices Wilde succumbed to illness in
1900 number nine influences and
inspirations Wilde was already at the
peak of his success when he wrote this
play featuring elements of farce through
its exaggerated and unlikely situations
this comedy of manners also parodies
social classes in a witty and
intellectual way it where did this
chatter to particular the first-class
ticket for the seaside resort find you
in a handbag number 8 settings and era
written in Worthing England in 1894 The
Importance of Being Earnest moves
between the urban city vibe of London
and the more natural country atmosphere
of Hertfordshire during the mid 1890s
however those settings are not meant to
contrast each other
Wilde actually uses both locations to
mock late Victorian high society and its
social customs cake is rarely seen in
the best houses nowadays number 7 plot
besides your name isn’t Jack at all it
is Eddie’s it isn’t earnest it’s Jack
you have always told me it was a deist
you’re the most earnest looking person I
ever saw in my life though this play is
not told through the eyes or voice of a
narrator the plot revolves around two
friends named John and Algernon who
attempt to avoid their social
obligations by pretending to be a
made-up person named Ernest well my name
is Ernest in town and Jack in the
country in love with a woman named
Gwendolen John as Ernest proposes to her
but the marriage is forbidden due to his
low birth I am engaged to mr. Worthing
mama pardon me you are not engaged to
anyone when you do becoming gay
age to someone I follow short is Health
Commission will inform the world effect
Algernon as Ernest then proposes to the
heiress named Cecily whom Jack is
legally bound to protect Cecily who
addresses me as uncle out of motives of
respect which you could not possibly
appreciate lives with my place in the
country under the charge of her
admirable governess miss prism
after several confusing and hilarious
situations the truth is revealed the two
men are actually brothers and John’s
birth name is Ernest Ernst John Linton I
always told you that my name was Ernest
this means the two couples can be
together at last
Tiffany at last London at last number
six John Worthing John or Jack when he’s
in the country drives the plays action
along with help from his fellow
protagonists Algernon as such these
well-educated and well-off men are quite
similar they’re trying to get wives and
they have Butler’s and imaginary friends
in order to adapt town I have always
pretended to have a younger brother as
an inversed who lives here in the open
and who gets into the most dreadful
scrapes both work hard to secure their
engagements despite Lady Bracknell’s
judgement and both descend on the
country essentially in disguise to deal
with the problem of brother Ernest I
simply wanted to be engaged to Gwendolen
that is all I love her well I simply
wanted to be engaged to Cecily I adore
her there is certainly no chance of your
marrying miss cardial I don’t think
there is much likelihood jack of you and
Miss Fairfax being United they also
arranged for christenings they think
will bring the happy ending of marriage
I’ve just made arrangements for dr.
chasuble to be christened at six o’clock
under the name of Ernest I felt I’d made
her introduce dr. Gerald myself the
christen to 5:30 and I naturally will
take the name of Ernest however Jack
differs from algae because he’s more
serious about keeping up his air of
respectability
I don’t propose to discuss modern
cultural visible that doesn’t disorder
thing one should talk I’ve invited he
also acts like a protective older
sibling but gets angry when things don’t
go his way
number five Algernon Moncrieff Algernon
is Jax vain and impulsive best friend
don’t you touch them they’re ordered
specially for aunt Augusta well you’re
eating them that’s quite a diplomat her
she is my aunt
he takes few things seriously and is
more interested in having fun he
demonstrates this by taking on the
persona of earnest to charm Cecily into
falling in love with him this world is
good enough for me cousin Cecily yes but
are you good enough for it
well no I’m not that that is why I would
like you to reform number four Gwendolen
Fairfax and Cecily the task is not a
pleasant one could we not both speak at
the same time an excellent idea I nearly
always speak at the same time as other
people you take the time for me your
Christian names are still an insuperable
barrier that is all uh Isis is that all
we’re going to the Christmas afternoon
though Gwendolen and Cecily have Diaries
and want to marry a man named Ernest
these two ladies also have their share
of differences while Gwendolen is bossy
and believes she’s more cultured due to
her City upbringing Cecily is clever
simple and innocent I’ve never met a
really wicked person before I feel
rather frightened so afraid you’ll just
like everyone else
despite being a country girl Cecily also
demonstrates she can hold her own
against Gwendolen
I am mr. weddings ward oh it is strange
he never mentioned to me that he had a
ward how secretive of him this is
especially important later on
considering they will be sisters-in-law
my poor wounded Cecily
my sweet wrong Gwendolen you will call
me sister number three values and themes
the play discusses how lying to get out
of one’s duties can quickly get out of
control and how truth and honesty
ultimately went out it also explores how
reputation and social class affect
relationships as well as the
significance of love and marriage
though foolishness can bring humor to
our lives it’s also important to know
when to be sincere and earnest in this
way while it is making light of the
obsessions and faults of the Victorian
upper class I hope you are behaving very
well I’m feeling very well on Turkestan
is that’s not quite to say anything
number two modern popularity with its
tight plot and a climax that unfolds
near the end The Importance of Being
Earnest
is considered a well-made play and
thanks to its humour and dialogue it’s
considered one of wilds finest literary
achievements I’ve now realized for the
first time in my life the vital
importance of being earnest number one
adaptations the plays popularity has
influenced people to adapt it for the
radio opera and television when it comes
to big-screen versions the 1952 film has
been praised for its closeness to the
play and its acting
fifty years later movie audiences were
entertained by the Oliver Parker
directed adaptation starring Reese
Witherspoon Colin Firth and more when
