Therefore, literary production is constrained by the cultural and social context of the production, what allows us to read literature also as an historical document. In this fashion, this works aims to briefly analyze the satires to the Victorian moral brought by Oscar Wilde in The Importance of Being Earnest (1985), as a mean to depict the zeitgeist of that period. In order to do so, this paper focuses on some aspects of marriage, religion and respectability portrayed in the play.
