Importance of Being Earnest

Nigeeria òhtusòòk jààb tàna àra, sest Dublinil on pakkuda palju teravmeelsemat meelelahutust: Oscar Wilde'i "Importance of Being Earnest" ehk triviaalne komòòdia tòsistele inimestele.
Tegemist on nàidendiga, mis viskab elegantselt, aga selle eest halastamatult, nalja Victoria-aegse Inglismaa kombestiku yle.
Kui nàidend esimest korda lavastati, oli Oscar kellegi kibekeele pahatahtlikkuse objekt, kes nii Oscarit kui tema nàidendit igatepidi maha tegi. Vihkamise kampaania kandis vilja ja nàidendit etendati pettumusttekitavalt vàhe kordi ning peale seda Oscar rohkem nàidendeid ei kirjutanudki. Millest on kahju, sest kàesolevast teosest leiab tànapàevalgi vàga aktuaalseid mòtteteri ja ma arvan, et Oscaril oleks neid veelgi olnud, kui ta oleks nàidendi teemal positiivset tagasisidet saanud ja sellest innustatuna veel mòne meisterdanud.
Vaadelgem neist mòtteteradest mònigaid:

Lady B: Nor do I in any way approve of the modern sympathy with invalids. I consider it morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. Health is the primary duty of life.

G:We live, as I hope you know, Mr. Worthing, in an age of ideals. The fact is constantly mentioned in the more expensive monthly magazines.

B: I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

G: Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. Whatever influence I ever had over mamma, I lost at the age of three.
