An example of how Wilde pokes fun at the upper-class lifestyle is "Algernon says it is hard work to live in this leisurely manner".

In <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em>,<u> Jack and Algernon are described as wealthy gentlemen</u>. Moreover, they come from important families. In this excerpt, <u>Wilde uses Algernon and his belief that doing nothing is hard work to satirize the upper-class; however, Wilde does not seek to make fun of mere individuals but to make fun of this society as a whole</u>. The author's aim throughout the play is to amuse and to make fun of the Victorian upper class.
