This work examines The importance of Being Earnest a play that shows the wickedness of the Victorian British society. It depicts the Victorians as hypocritical for their going around the laws of morality. It shows that the victorians have been leading a double life in their attempt to live an earnest life. It further contends that the upper middle class victorians are snobbish in that they are proud of their socio-économic status and scorn the less fortunate. Within the same profile, this study exposes the extent to which Oscar Wilde pictures the shallowness of the victorian British Society. This work is based on the premise that Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is a satire against the victorian British Society for its wickedness. Written against the background of the psychoanalytic theory and new historicism, the work concludes that man in the Victorian British Society people is wicked.
