Essay Instructions: Hello there,
This is my third order, which I would like it to be written by the same writer (HisDudeness).

Message to the writer HisDudeness,
Dear writer thank you for the paper that I have just received. My preliminary judgement is that it is well written, has good ideas, but wider than I hoped. I will read it thoroughly and let you know.
Now I want something about Oscar Wilde. His mild (this is what I believe) challenge to the Victorian society way of life, and how this challenge is manifested in The Importance of being Earnest. What kind of criticism he direct towards that Society? and what exactly did he criticise in that play as far as the Victorian society?s way of life? Where can we find proof of this criticism in the play?
It is obvious that he criticised the hypocrisy, pretentiousness and the seriousness of that society. However, that was not enough to justify the harsh reprisal he suffered in his life. Therefore, beside his criticism to the society in his play, the main challenge to the Victorian society presented by Wilde might be his persona, his dandyism, his way of life, his taste and his choices, which did not conform with the society and he had to pay the price.( how true?)
Thank you..
