Answer:

to attack the fake morality and superficiality he saw in Victorian society.

Explanation:

A dandy is an overdressed, trivial, and ineffectual man who is most interested in other people's perceptions.

In the play <u>The Importance of Being Earnest</u>, Wilde portrays his character Algernon as a dandy.

Algernon is shown to be almost obsessed with his appearance. For example, he wants his neckties and buttonholes always to be prim and proper. Although Algernon is also charming, witty, and smart, he does not seem to recognize any moral duty or responsibility.
