ᖇEᗩᗪ Iᖴ

A. You want to read something full of Witt.

B. You want to overcome reading slump.

C. You want a quick read.

▪

The importance of being Earnest written in the form of a play, is a trivial comedy for serious people.

▪

The story revolves around Earnest. Now, Earnest is not just a single person. Algernon Montcrieff, John Worthing and John Worthing’s imaginary brother are all Earnest. No one named ‘Earnest’ exists in actual. It was just created by Algernon Montcrieff and John Worthing in order to impress women who simply admire the name ‘Earnest’.

▪

But the lies can not be hidden for a longer period of time. In the book as well, the lies start to unravel.

▪

In my opinion, it was an entertaining read full of Witt and sarcasm and I enjoyed reading it.
