Ответ:
An example of how Wilde pokes fun at the upper-class lifestyle is "Algernon says it is hard work to live in this leisurely manner".
In The Importance of Being Earnest, Jack and Algernon are described as wealthy gentlemen. Moreover, they come from important families. In this excerpt, Wilde uses Algernon and his belief that doing nothing is hard work to satirize the upper-class; however, Wilde does not seek to make fun of mere individuals but to make fun of this society as a whole. The author's aim throughout the play is to amuse and to make fun of the Victorian upper class.
