This paper explores Oscar Wilde’s perceptions of the subject’s lines of flight for the enjoyment of freedom in a strict society. In the Victorian society, the subject has to act in the bondage of moral standards, re¬claiming license and well-being. Man cannot escape the forces working through his will, especially ‘moral gravity’. This is Simone Weil’s con¬ception of freedom within the confines of necessity. In Wilde’s comedyThe Importance of Being Earnest, the subject’s ontological struggle trans¬lates moral skepticism, denouncing the coercive commands that create obligations. The imperatives of social ethics stand as barriers that deter the subject from appropriation. Wilde’s protagonist acts under masks adopting false identity as a line of flight, seeking pleasure in the world of confinement and nothingness. Indeed, this paper is an attempt to investi¬gate the issue of freedom as a natural necessity and its limitations by the status of moral license, drawing on Sartre’s view of freedom and necessity and, basically from Simone Weil’s religious and spiritual perspective. Thus, being subject to the law of moral gravity the subject fails to flee existential estrangement. |
