This is arguably Wilde at his wittiest and most quotable, but the plot and characters seem thin in comparison. Ultimately, not his most memorable work.
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
This is one those masterpieces from Oscar that you just can't afford to miss. It's full of wit and aphorisms. Oscar has always been a genius with his epigrams and he's also got that flair for drama and beautiful conversations, which makes him one of the best writers of all time!
It's a gem of a play with Wilde subtly expressing his fascinating views on morality, women, men, society, marriage and life in general. A must read indeed!
