Set in Victorian England, the play features Jack Worthing, who creates a fictional brother, Ernest, to justify his trips to London for courtship. Meanwhile, his friend Algernon Moncrieff assumes the identity of Ernest to pursue Jack's ward, Cecily Cardew. This leads to a tangled web of deception and misunderstandings, showcasing Wilde's sharp wit and critique of societal norms. The comedic confusion highlights themes of identity, love, and the absurdities of social conventions.
