The Importance of Being Earnest is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on February 14th 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most enduringly popular play.

Much Ado About Nothing is generally considered one of Shakespeare's best comedies, because it combines elements of robust hilarity with more serious meditations on honor, shame, and court politics. The play includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Beatrice and Benedick are kept apart by pride and mutual antagonism until others decide to play Cupid.

An Enemy of the People is an 1882 play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, who wrote it in response to the public outcry against his previous play, Ghosts, which challenged the hypocrisy of 19th-century morality. An Enemy of the People tells the story of a man who dares to speak an unpalatable truth and is punished for it. Ibsen uses the language of comic exaggeration through the mouth of his spokesman, the idealist Doctor Thomas Stockmann, who rejects all absolute principles of either wisdom or morality.

"Sein oder Nichtsein, das ist hier die Frage!" Der dänische Prinz Hamlet weiß nicht mehr weiter: Einerseits ist er sich sicher, das sein Vater, der König, ermordet wurde, und zwar durch Claudius, dessen Bruder - der jetzt König ist und sogar Hamlets Mutter geheiratet hat. Andererseits ist der wankelmütige, schöngeistige Prinz nicht sicher, ob und wie er seinen Vater rächen soll - obwohl dieser ihn in Gestalt eines Geistes dazu auffordert. Hamlet beschließt auf Zeit zu spielen, und spielt die Rolle des Verrückten. Doch dies macht nicht nur seiner Geliebten Ophelia zu schaffen.

Publicados em 1807, os contos dos Lamb eram destinados apenas ao público infantojuvenil e jovens senhoras....
