In "The Importance of Being Earnest," Oscar Wilde uses parody to satirize the concept of Victorian morality and social norms. One example of this is when Algernon mocks the idea of marriage as a social requirement by saying, "Divorces are made in heaven." This line both ridicules the idea of marriage being ordained by a higher power and highlights the superficiality of societal expectations surrounding marriage. Wilde uses this technique to critique the hypocrisy and absurdity of Victorian society.
