Occasionally funny with some standout quotable quotes, but not my favorite by Oscar Wilde.

Lady Windermere's Fan is a rather fascinating story with many twists and characters that prove to be different that what they appear to be.

Wilde sparkles but shows the risks and tensions for upper class Victorian women.

I'm getting all of Wilde's plays mixed up because the core of them are all strikingly similar: poking fun of high society through clever one-liners, riddled with irony, and a surprise plot twist similar to that of modern day sitcom. That's probably too harsh since Wilde in effect probably invented this kind of drama. But reading Wilde again and seeing the plot unfold and Lady Windermere mistake her husband's noble intentions, the ending was relatively predictable.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
This is one those masterpieces from Oscar that you just can't afford to miss. It's full of wit and aphorisms. Oscar has always been a genius with his epigrams and he's also got that flair for drama and beautiful conversations, which makes him one of the best writers of all time!
It's a gem of a play with Wilde subtly expressing his fascinating views on morality, women, men, society, marriage and life in general. A must read indeed!
