Book excerpt: Annotations This book is unique because it contains a literary criticism that was made by Juan AcevedoI bring an entry dedicated to the importance of being called Ernesto, one of the best works, if not the best, of the always brilliant Oscar Wilde. The Irishman was always known for his wit and humor and in this comedy of entanglements he shows us once again. All you have to do is read the title to see that Wilde is already kidding us. If we read it the first time and do not pay attention to it, we may not see anything strange, but if we take a look at the original title, The importance of being Earnest, more carefully, then things change. The literal translation would be The importance of being serious. So, here we see that Wilde plays with the words because it can refer to the name of Ernesto or the fact of being frank, serious ... So we already see that this title has a double meaning and this is reflected in the plot of the work . It is true that it is a comedy of entanglements that contains a hilarious humor and unique phrases that make you think and all this is narrated in an elegant way and with a great class. Very typical of Wilde. However, behind this comedy hides something more because in it is a criticism of Victorian society.I am a lover of this era but we must also recognize that it was a society based on conventions and with very strict codes of morality. Those known as "gentlemen" were men that people admired because of their class and apparent perfection. They did not hide anything and they were very transparent ... or not. Many of these men and the upper class in general lived from appearances and a false seriousness. That image of perfection was, in fact, a lie since many had a secret life, or secret vices, that they tried to hide since, if they were discovered that idealized image that they had of them would break. Wilde criticized this behavior and in this work decides to make fun of this idea of (false) moral. Wilde was also taken by an admirable gentleman, but no one knew of his sexual tendencies and in the end, when his secret was discovered, he was condemned. The importance of being called Ernesto was his last work since after his fall came. Ironies of life, it seems that his story turned against him since he was one more victim of the society he criticized so much.In the characters of The importance of being called Ernesto, we can see that they are perfect for the public but the reader discovers that this is not the case since we can see that they have certain secrets that do not make them so good and innocent. Frivolity and falsehood are the order of the day. Many people reading the work may not realize this and for many is a comedy, but criticism of this society is evident. What happens is that our beloved Oscar expressed everything through a comedy and people did not see beyond the bizarre situations presented. I disguised everything in the form of satire and this says a lot about these people as it seemed that they did not see beyond a comedy that made them give a loud laugh at the minimum. If I had presented it as a serious and formal work, maybe things would have been different.
