Narration Supposing Books Lady Windermere's Fan
Reading an Oscar Wilde play is sort of like life being perfect. The structure of the work is faultless, the dialogue is uber-clever and fantastic. What's wrong with Wilde? Nothing. He's perfect. I can't imagine any writer who wrote so beautifully in his native language. There are some people who are born with 'it' and Wilde is one of them. Of course for someone so perfect he would have to get involved in some nasty social business via his decade. But when you look back at Wilde, one realizes that he is someone from the 19th Century who is saying goodbye to the Victorian era and culture. It's like he couldn't wait to jump into the 20th Century. Which makes it sad that we didn't accept Wilde with our open arms. We killed the thing that was so beautiful and right. Wilde was born in 1854 and died in 1900. I was born in 1954 and was convinced I would be dead by the year 2000 - just because of Wilde. It's silly and egotistic on my part, yet it also shows how much I love Wilde.

God bless Oscar Wilde. Has anyone contributed as much to the conversation of otherwise dull people?I'm afraid this wasn't the right book at the right time.I was hoping for something like The Importance of Being Earnest - a comedy with lots of clever wordplay; something to distract me for awhile.But while the witty wordplay is there, it's far from the comedy I was hoping for. It's a great deal more serious - more of a family drama than a farce.And it makes me rather sad that I may have ruined this play by listening/reading to it when I wasn't in the mood instead of finding something better to
So much drama, so much fun. :)
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. This is the second play by Oscar Wilde I've ever read. And again, it is beautifully and brilliantly written. Here we have the patent Wilde wit, depth of observation, and humor. It's a delight to read. LORD WINDERMERE. Well, that is no business of yours, is it, Cecil? CECIL GRAHAM. None! That is why it interests me. My own business always bores me to death. I prefer other peoples. It's also quite dramatic, not simply a
(Read as part of the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde.)Like The Importance of Being Earnest, this play involves some dishonesties, some false pretenses, and so very little communication.In other words, it's great fun.I might have enjoyed this more than The Importance of Being Earnest, only because I knew that story going into it, and this was entirely new for me. While the situation is familiar and done to death (by now in the 21st-century), Wilde wrote with a freshness that is undeniable. Maybe
