manners...

I think that The Importance of Being Earnest is comedy of manners because basically all that they do is make fun of the way people are supposed to be acting.what I think it means is just making fun of rules and playing around like if nothing is serious.It has been shown in the book already when they say that Lady Bracknell has power, when in reality women could not have any power.Another way that this has been shown is when they don't really talk to each other formally because they call them selves Algy and jack and Ernest or Algernon but they never call each other "Mr"., the only one that has a type of formality is Lady Bracknell because they actually use " Lady". It is shown in everything because they do not take anything seriously not even marriage.
