I read this for English IV with my class and it was the funniest play I have ever read (and finally understood). We were all laughing and giggling at each snipe and comedic turn of events.

Would definitely reread it.

An interesting play filled with interesting characters. I may have never read it or even thought of reading it had it not been for the extra time I found myself having after the Corona epidemic.

The plot twist at the end is giving Molière’s “Scapin the Schemer”

Amo a Oscar Wilde y todos sus textos sin excepción.
Este en particular HAY QUE LEERLO EN INGLÉS para entender el chiste del juego de palabras.

"The Importance of Being Earnest" que puede interpretarse como "La importancia de ser Ernesto" o "La importancia de ser Honesto", para hacer una excelente paradoja del contenido del libro (que no les voy a spoilear).

Si saben inglés, léanlo en inglés.
