An Ideal Husband

I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy this play a little bit more than I enjoy the so called masterpiece "The Importance of Being Earnest". It has more intrigues, more dilemmas, and unexpected situations. All the details are perfectly chained to each other and you are served with the outmost pleasure of reading every single dialogue.

I have also read "Lady Windermere's Fan", but I have to say this one is not as good as "The Importance..." or "An Ideal Husband"

I agree. With the part of An Ideal Husband as a play full of intrigues and dillemas. To expect the unexpected is what to expect in that play. Wilde did a marvelous job with the way the scenes progressed and plot twists..

I could not say the same thing with what you said about the Importance of Being Earnest, though. I enjoyed it greatly and Bunburying is truly unforgettable. But I guess, we are entitled to our own opinions
