Response to Satire and Marriage:Perspective from Oscar Wilde's ,The Importance of Being Ernest.
This blog contains a summary and discussion based on " Notes on Love and Marriage: Perpectives fromm Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest," which was written by Michael Vance in May 2000. This is because i have read the book and i have to evaluate Michael Vance reaction to Oscar Wilde.
Micheal Vance's article explains the playas a satire where"many of the rules,morays and hypocritical practices and ideas of Oscar Wilde's day made a mockery." Two woman were cheated by two men acting double roles by faking their names just to marry and be loved by the woman love and they also knew that these woman are happy and desirous of marrying men with such names. I think that if you love somebody you should be honest with them no matter what and they might accept you for who you are but if you keep on lying it might end up worst but in the play Jack and Algernon were easily forgiven by Cecily and Gwendolen they loved Jack and Algernon.
Michael Vance's main idea is that marriage has nothingto with happiness and romancethat it is an unpleasantfact rather than a union of two people who are in love. The romantic comedy becomes a serious issue when money and status steps in as people of high status seeks suitors of similsr status.
