Men were the only ones allowed to make political decisions, the “breadwinners” meaning they were the ones that held a job to provide for their families. For example, Cecily and Gwendolen are portrayed as dainty, nice and dependent, making them “attractive and desirable.” However, women who are independent and controlling are portrayed as “unattractive and mean.” In the Victorian Society, men had a greater influence on the world than women did. Wilde views the females in the play stereotypically. In the Victorian Society and even in today’s society, the world is extremely stereotypical against gender. In “The Importance of Being Earnest,” Oscar Wilde treats humorously serious issues and conflicts, such as class structure, marriage and courtship, as if they are a joke to the Victorian Society. Wilde expresses comedy through purposely criticizing the aristocratic. “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a trivial comedy for serious people written by Oscar Wilde.
