The importance of being Earnest (C2)

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” Oscar Wilde One of Oscar Wilde’s funniest plays, The Importance of Being Earnest was described by the dramatist as being ‘a trivial comedy for serious people’. The satire is biting, as Wilde uses wit and humour to expose some of the trivialities and inconsistencies of Victorian society. „Pravda je len málokedy jednoznačná a nikdy nie je jednoduchá.“ The Importance of Being Earnest (Je dôležité mať Filipa) je jednou z najvtipnejších hier Oscara Wilda a dramatici ju opisujú ako triviálnu komédiu pre vážnych ľudí. Uštipačnosť satiry tkvie v dôvtipe a humore, ktorými Wilde odhaľuje banalitu a rozpor viktoriánskej spoločnosti.
