The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde



  In this blog I will discuss about the analysis " Note on Love and Marriage: Perspectives from Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest " by Michael Vance.


    Michael Vance in his analysis describe a play as “cleverly woven satire in which many of
the rules, morays, and hypocritical practices and ideas of Wilde's day were made a mockery”
which is very true, because while reading the play we can see how on one hand Oscar Wilde is 
trying to make marriage “a serious thing” and on another hand he is making fun of it. Michael
Vance said that in the play Oscar Wilde is showing us that after marriage the romance is done,
and he is right and I also think that, even before marriage the romance is not there. It also shows
those women didn’t care much about romance as long as they get married.
