La importancia de llamarse Ernesto, cuyo título original en inglés es The Importance of Being Earnest, es una famosa comedia de Oscar Wilde escrita en 1895. Muy aplaudida y representada en todo el mundo, presenta una excelente trama cómica que fluye entre los sutiles diálogos de sus escenas y el relato de los hechos lleno de agudeza y frescura. Ubicada en la Inglaterra de la época victoriana, la trama se desarrolla alrededor del protagonista John (o Jack) y Ernest, su hermano ficticio. El enredo es una constante del argumento que creó Oscar Wilde y que se origina desde el mismo título con la dualidad entre la palabra earnest, que significa serio en inglés, y el mismo nombre de Ernesto. La obra se estrenó en 1895 con un triunfo arrollador. Se dijo de ella que Inglaterra nunca había reído tanto con una comedia. Fue, además, uno de los éxitos más importantes de este autor que, educado en el ambiente culto y literario de sus progenitores, consiguió abrirse muchas puertas en su entorno, tanto por su carácter equívoco como por su simpatía.

The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...
