Oscar Wilde truly is a Genius

I absolutely love Oscar Wilde's books and THE IMPORTANCE OF EARNEST, the play, is no exception to that.  What makes this play even more enjoyable than usual is that it's a comedy through and through...and a GREAT comedy at that!  We read it in all of my British Lit. classes and I think we all enjoyed it tremendously.  Even the movie was well worth watching and, as we all know, quite often the movie does NOT do a story justice.  We all laughed and found all the jokes to be truly funny rather than laughing just to be polite.  My favorite scene of all is the one with the cucumber sandwiches.  I love how his butler just goes along with the whole thing without batting an eyelash!  Such a great play...if you've never read it, you really should!!!
