Oscar Wilde: One Witty Son of a Gun

Meet Oscar:
"Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it."
                                                                                      -Oscar Wilde

 

If you've ever watched the movie, "The Importance of Being Earnest" (Which is a GREAT movie by the way) you've realized how very witty Oscar is. 

So this guy, Oscar Wilde, was the son of two talented writers, he studied at Oxford at one point and later got married. He published a good bit of plays and a very controversial novel which was claimed very immoral for his time. After the death of his wife he eventually found a male lover, but that didn't last much because four years later he was arrested and accused of homosexuality. (As Neos has said, "This guy was so deep in the closet that he could have found Narnia!") That's true, he definitely could have, he was married to a woman and had children- who would have ever guessed? Regardless..... The point is, this man is WITTY, he managed to reach Brilliance on our Hierarchy, a very well deserved title. He spoke his voice, wrote many plays that entertain us today, gave us insight on his times through witty remarks and followed his beliefs with a hint of crazy. Congrats Oscar!
