Reviews for A Woman of No Importance
181 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The title says it all. A condemnation of a society in which mistakes are never forgiven, in which souls are lost forever, for youthful indiscretion and surrender to one's emotions.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is all about purity. What somebody thinks about the same.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A small gem of a drama. Oscar Wilde's perfect t use of language makes this play both witty and stinging. A mother maintains her dignity in the face of disgrace, and endears herself to her son while deflating his natural father's haughty condescension. Excellent!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Witty as only Oscar Wilde can write.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a really good read by Oscar Wilde. I love how the book started with the title "A Woman of No Importance" and ended with the sentence "A Man of No Importance." While I'm not in the mood to delve into the connotative meaning of the start and end of this masterpiece, the author did an excellent job of humorously communicating societal flaws in gender perception. However, I'll leave that analysis for another time.
