Question

What is the last line of the play?

• A. "I am a new man."
• B. "Gwendolen, I love you."
• C. "I’ve now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest."
• D. "This is a great joke!"

Answer 1

Answer:

C. "I’ve now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest."

The last line of "The Importance of Being Earnest" is "I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital importance of being earnest," spoken by Jack (also known as "Bunbury"). 

This line signifies the play's central theme of the value of honesty and authenticity, even if it involves a bit of self-deception, as Jack has just discovered his true identity as "Ernest".
