INTRO PARAGRAPH:
To be honest, sometimes you have to lie to be truthful. In Oscar Wilde’s play, The Importance of Being Earnest, dishonesty Is used by many of the characters so that they can be honest to themselves. Like a veil, their lies hide who they are in truth. These lies trickle into their social lifes and allow, or hinder, them to get away from their social positions and act on what they really wish to do. Lying allows the characters to be with those they truly love and care for, rather than having to lie in a relationship that they get forced into. Another way dishonesty is displayed throughout the book is in Algernon’s “bunburying” or rather his hunt for self-gain. Not telling the truth to avoid what you’re afraid of is how the characters protect themselves.
