Chapter 1 Introduction
Oscar Wilde’s unfading play, The Importance of Being Earnest illustrates a picture of the factual livelihood of the upper class citizens in Victorian era. The double identities of the two main characters in the play impress the readers deeply and turn to be the key point to the play. In reality, Wilde lives a secret dual life too, which remind me of the deep connection between the play and his real life .This essay will focus on uncovering the profound social root and psychology motivation that cause people to live with double identities combing the theory of Simond.Freud.
By the late 19th and early 20th century, Sigmund Freud’s discipline of psychoanalysis not only has a very important impact on the western modern and contemporary work, but also provides a brand-new method of text reading, leading us to the spiritual world of the literature work and writers. Freud has given the science explanation about double identity from the perspective of psychology. A human being’s inner world is not as tranquil as it look like from the outward appearance ,it is a complicated system with multiple structures. In terms of Freud’s theory we can divided it into conscious and unconscious and Freud's late theory to the division of personality structure for conscious and unconscious and the improvement and development, is better explaining the existent source of dual personality.
