The Admirable Crichton

La importancia de llamarse Ernesto

Desde su título, La importancia de llamarse Ernesto trae uno de los exquisitos juegos de palabras propios de Wilde. Ernest, nombre de pila, y earnest, adjetivo que significa honesto, serio, tienen en inglés la misma pronunciación. Y la obra trata de un grupo de personas que, bajo una apariencia extremadamente formal (otro de los significados de earnest), no hacen más que engañarse y ocultar la verdad. Muchos críticos sostienen que es la obra más lograda de OSCAR WILDE.
