That's what my blog is about today. Oscar Wilde. He was a British playwright in the late 1800's. I am inspired so much by his determination and his writings in general. I know a whole lot about him because I wrote a research paper on him, but for those who don't, if you ever get a chance to get to see one of his plays go see it. He wrote some of the funniest (and I mean intelligent funny) plays I have ever had the honor to read and perform in. My absolute favorite is The Importance of Being Earnest, and if you don't want to see a play, this is a movie that you can rent.
This play leads to his determination. He wrote plays in a time of high society and supposed respect for such people. And his plays just made fun of them. Now to note, he was fairly wealthy himself, so he could write about the elite with knowledge as well as hilarity. He was determined to let everyone see that the upper class was no better than anyone else, and he was punished for that.
His writing also inspires me when I'm writing scripts. I am no where near as good as Oscar Wilde, but I love to take his type of wit and incorporate it into my own stuff.
