“Did you know that Oscar Wilde once said, ‘Be yourself; everyone else is already taken’? Imagine being so clever that your own words become famous for over a hundred years!”
Oscar Wilde lived in the Victorian era, around the late 1800s, and he’s best known as a brilliant playwright and witty writer. He loved telling stories that made people laugh and think at the same time.
His most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest, is full of funny jokes about mistaken identities and polite society. People still perform it today because Oscar’s clever humor and sharp observations never get old!
Oscar also wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray, a spooky tale about a painting that ages instead of its owner. It reminds us how important it is to be honest and true to ourselves.
Thanks to his sparkling wit and bold ideas about art and life, Wilde’s words still inspire writers, actors, and anyone who loves a good laugh. Even today, he shows us how powerful it can be to speak your mind!
