The novel is a Victorian novel and this novel is performed in 1895 and it published in the year 1899. 



About the Writer :-


Oscar Wilde, in full Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde, (born October 16, 1854, Dublin, Ireland—died November 30, 1900, Paris, France), Irish wit, poet, and dramatist whose reputation rests on his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), and on his comic masterpieces Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). He was a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement in England, which advocated art for art’s sake, and he was the object of celebrated civil and criminal suits involving homosexuality and ending in his imprisonment (1895–97).Wilde was born of professional and literary parents. He died on 30 November, 1900.




About the Play :-
















This final play from the pen of Oscar Wilde is a stylish send-up of Victorian courtship and manners, complete with assumed names, mistaken lovers, and a lost handbag. Jack and Algernon are best friends, both wooing ladies who think their names are Ernest, “that name which inspires absolute confidence.”

Wilde’s effervescent wit, scathing social satire, and high farce make this one of the most cherished plays in the English language.


In this novel Cecily and Gvendolin , both are the female protagonists of this play. Both believe that a person whose name is 'Earnest' is always sincere because they believe that the word 'Earnest' itself represents the cenciarity. It becomes the main reason or we can say the central point of this novel. Jake and Algernon  , both are the male protagonists of this play, they become Algernon to meet their love. Originally they are not Arnest by the name and actions too but here in this play they are being Earnest because of their love.


End of the Play :-


At the end of the play Jake , who is Being separated from his real family at his childhood, he got his real parents information and he also found out the real relation of His Friend Algernon. All the story depends on the secret of the word 'Earnest' and the readers also got confused when they are reading this book because all the activities are happens because of the word 'Earnest' and at the first when Cicely and Gvendolin both are demanding the name 'Earnest' of his to be husband at that time readers feels that it is  silly judgements of the protagonists at that time readers can not got any idea about the reason of this silly argument but when Jack find out original information about his parents at that time the meaning of the Title represents the real thing which Oscar  Wilde appears at the end of the novel and Jake got the real importance of being Earnest. 


The last dialogue of the novel is from Jake and that is " Now, I understand the vital connection of 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. 




Conclusion :-


So , end of the play represents the real 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and Jake meets his separated family's information just because he want to marry with Gvendolin but her mother doesn't give them permission without knowing Jake's family background and that's why he tries to find the history of his childhood and at the end of the play he got succeed I getting the information and finally he got the permission from Gwendolen's mother Aunt Augusta.  So , as per the situation of Jake at the end of the play we can say that in the end he got the real importance of being Earnest.
