I'm leaving out the transition sentence because I'm not sure how it will work with Mathew's paragraph.
In this play lies are used in multiple ways, but in the end it boils down to what you can gain by not telling the truth. There are so many ways to be dishonest but it seems that the most useful methods, at least in this book, are perhaps lying in your marriage or possibly trying to get out of a sticky situation, but most of all trying to pursue your personal, singular gain. When Wilde shows us this extreme use of lies he is trying to show us that everyone is dishonest. It's how we live, its how we survive as people in the lives that are given to us.
So it appears that sometimes it's not so Important to be Earnest.
