Dishonesty.

     Oscar Wilde's Importance of being Earnest topic of dishonesty relates to epigrams by challenging yourself to what you have just spoken. During the duration of the play, Jack, also know as 'Ernest', would go to different places disguised as Ernest, and do whatever he wanted to do. He later learned that his fake identity was himself, and was after all telling the truth. This is related to Algernon's bun burying, which is also related to satire of social and institution. They gave themselves rewards that they gave to their characters.  Many characters were dishonest in the pursuit of pleasure. Two character's who stuck out are Algernon, and Cecily.  When Algernon met Cecily for the first time, Cecily assumed it was Uncle Jacks younger brother Ernest, who was not at all Earnest. Algernon took role of Jack's alternate self and fell in love with Cecily which interfered with Jacks love with Gwendolen. Cecily on the other hand wrote letters to herself saying her dear love for Ernest, which was all fake. All the characters in the play had some sort of way, to get away from their normal lives and responsibilities to be free.
     My vision of Oscar Wilde's use of dishonesty in the play is to show that people who lie, don't usually get away with it. This teaches moral and gives the book an interesting feed back on the reader. It also means that you shouldn't do something you'll regret later, it'll nip you in the butt later.
