Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, known for his wit, flamboyant style, and sharp social commentary. Wilde often used humor and irony to call out hypocrisy in Victorian society. His works, such as The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest, reveal a keen observation of class, morality, and human nature. However, Wilde’s own life was marked by tragedy: his open defiance of societal norms, especially regarding his sexuality, led to his imprisonment and eventual exile in France, where he died in poverty. His ability to “hold a mirror up to society” through stories like The Devoted Friend shows his lasting legacy as a writer who used satire to uncover truth.
