Importance+of+Being+Earnest



As we all know Importance of Earnest is by Oscar Wilde, and perhaps it would be a good idea to know about the author himself as well as the times during which the play was set, to gain a better understanding of his work. Remember, our aim here is to explore new ideas, find information, share our findings and generate productive discussions. This won't be like our usual class-room where I give you a set of notes with specific points of focus, here you have the free rein to explore the different aspects that you find of relevance and importance.

This may be a good point to start: [|The Life and Times of Oscar Wilde] and perhaps our findings may help us understand the complex relationsships interwoven with the humuor in the drama. Feel free to explore and add your findings here and please use the discussion baord to start up discussions and share your ideas.

Once we feel confident about the background reading and knowledge it is time to delve in to the drama and try and figure out and analyse the underlying complexities of the characters, the motifs, the themes and other aspects of the drama to really appreciate this beautiful piece of literature.
