It is a classic comedy of manners, in which two flippant young men in order to impress their respective beloveds, pretend that their names are ""Earnest."" The title of the play is described as a pun, since the word ""Earnest"" can be understood in two different ways. Firstly, ""earnest ""can be understood in the sense of serious or honest.

Ile has conveyed his message to his own people and showed them the mirror.
