How is The Importance of Being Earnest a "comedy of manners"? What does this mean? How has it been shown in the play already?
This play is comedy of mannrs type play becuase it makes fun of the society that is going on around them. The two main characters are the ones who are suppose to represent their society as one of the greatest. they do not have to do much, they are super wealthy. They make fun of the manner that go around like for example the whole marriage situation they did not take it very serious but they sure were serious about those cucumber sandwhiches that were eaten. It's like the author of the play is trying to prove a point in a wity but clever way.
yeah i think they took the cucumber thing very serious but even though they took it serious they still did not care because Algy and Jack kept eating them.
