Importance Of Being Earnest Lady Bracknell
782 words
Oscar Wilde s play The Importance of Being Earnest
is perhaps the best verbal farce ever written.
Although it is more deliberate and less frantic
than your typical farce it still has the basic
elements: mistaken identities, the mocking of high
society, and a few bits of outrageous physical
humor. One of the great strengths of this play is
the dynamic set up by the playwright between
character and language. From the opening moments
(the marvelous banter between Jack and All over
