The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

1. The story is narrated in London, England and ends at the country side of England. The protagonists of the story are two men named Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing. Two familiar friends keep in touch and enjoy a simple English lifestyle of wealth and finding a future wife. The play starts out with Algernon eating a complementary amount of food while his servant, Lane, have conversations with so. John Worthing enters the room and initiates a warm welcoming with Algernon. John says that he was in the country, which of course Algernon asks why. Business as the usual response, but this is when John says that he goes by the name of Jack in the country and Ernest in the city.
2. When characters say one thing, they often lie to themselves and lose morality in what they truly believe in.
3. Oscar Wilde expresses a very comedic tone, frequently entertaining the readers as they enjoy the story of two unlikely characters. The author adds a haughty behavior within the characters because of the vain approach of wealth and relations with strangers in order of marriage. Of course, Wilde displaces a bantering tone as well when characters make small remarks about each other at every other encounter because of the small trifling pettiness.

Characterization:

1. Wilde sets apart characterization by indirectly describing the protagonist personalities. Algernon is one of those guys who likes to receive attention and definitely a social type. Wilde's impersonation of Algernon as the man who talks negatively to other characters of the story and destines to place them under a category he is familiar with. Wilde uses both approaches for readers to understand the attitudes of all the characters when they interact especially.
2. Wilde's syntax doesn't change since it is prescribed in a screen play. It's like William's Shakespeare's writing in a similar sense. He connects the syntax with all characters, not discriminating what they would say and how they act with others.
