A serious comedy for trivial people.
When we first come across the title importance of being earnest the reader understand that it is related something with worthless or being rich, or major question between working class and the master class, or the reader understand that that is major issue or some important thing, but when we came across the fact that there is nothing serious about what the reader understand. The story is very different from what the reader could understand.And when the story ends we audience or reader can easily decide it is comedy rather than any serious matter.
A trivial comedy for serious people:
When the reader read the original play the reader came across the fact that it is a comedy of nanner where the name earnest is very important to the female character of Victorian society. Gwendolelin &Cecily both love the name earnest and because of Jack the protagonist character loves Gwendolin he changes his name Jack to earnest and makes a story line of his fake brother also. As The story moved on algernon met Cecily and he is fall in love with Cecily he is also change his name from algernon to Mr. Earnest, so now both say that their name was earnest , and because of this same name the comic situation has going to happen and it became trivial comedy for serious people.
