I’m not a big fan of plays. I bought The importance of Ernest because people said it’s rather hilarious. I didn’t find it that comical, but it made me chuckle here and there. Even though this play contains witty banters, it allots good points about marriage, proposal, culture, cleverness, mannerism, etc. However, I don’t agree with everything said–though, I believe, Wilde was aiming for humor. Some of the points he made, as a matter of fact, are rushed conclusions, personally, but that is not to say the play lacks realism. I did not detest the play entirely, at least it has a good ending. Overall, it was good enough to kill some time, but not mesmerizingly funny or interesting as it was claimed.
