The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy written in the Victorian Era. Even though it satirizes the Victorian lifestyle, it also appeals to the Victorian readers.
The Importance of Being Earnest takes place in London and Hertfordshire, England in the Victorian era (i.e. the 19th century). This time and era, when it concerns literature, was mostly concerned about its didacticism and less on aesthetic ideals-which Wilde adopted. In the play, the way people behaved and their idea for society are twisted and used in an ironic way in order to further the paradox that Wilde created.
