## এক নজরে
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) — সিলেবাসে The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), উপশিরোনাম "A Trivial Comedy for Serious People"। Victorian উচ্চসমাজের ভণ্ডামিকে epigram-এর ঝলকে উড়িয়ে দেওয়া comedy of manners।
## পরীক্ষায় যা ঘুরেফিরে আসে
- Title-এর pun — "Earnest" (গুরুগম্ভীর) বনাম "Ernest" (নাম): যে সমাজ earnestness পূজা করে, সেখানে দুই নায়কই মিথ্যা Ernest সেজে প্রেম জেতে — ভণ্ডামিই শেষে "সত্য" হয়ে যায়
- Bunburying — Algernon-এর কাল্পনিক অসুস্থ বন্ধু, Jack-এর কাল্পনিক ভাই: দ্বৈত জীবনের কমিক যন্ত্র, Victorian respectability-র ফাঁকির প্রতীক
- Lady Bracknell — সমাজের দারোয়ান; interview দৃশ্য ("To lose one parent... may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness") — class আর marriage-market-এর satire
- Satire of Victorian values — বিয়ে, শিক্ষা, ধর্ম, শ্রেণি — সবকিছুই epigram-এ উল্টে দেওয়া: "The truth is rarely pure and never simple"
- Comedy of manners হিসেবে — wit, artificial plot (handbag!), সমাজের আয়না
## উত্তরে যা মনে রাখবেন
