In November 1878 he graduated with a double first B.A. classical abstinence and Literae Humaniores (large). Wilde wrote to a friend: "The Dons are amazed at the words - Bad Boy is doing so well!"In the 1891 census Wildes was living at 16 Tite Street [130] with his wife Constance and two sons. But not content with being better known in London than ever, Wilde returned to Paris in October 1891, this time as a respected author. He was accepted in the littéraires salons, including Stéphane Mallarmé, a famous symbolist poet of the time.[131] Wilde's two plays in the 1880s, True; or the nihilists and the Duchess of Padua have not made much progress. He continued his interest in the theater and now, having found his voice in prose, his thoughts again turned to the dramatic form as the biblical iconography of Salome filled his mind.One evening, after discussing the descriptions of Salome throughout history, he returned to his hotel and noticed an empty textbook lying on the table, and he had to write down what was said in his head. The result was a new play, Salomé, written quickly and in French.Tragedy, it tells the story of Salome, the daughter of the tetrarch Herodes Antipas, who, to the chagrin of her stepfather, but to the joy of her mother, asks for the head of Jokanan (Johannes Kastajan) on a silver plate. reward for dancing a dance. of seven curtains. When Wilde returned to London just before Christmas, the Paris Echo called him the "big event" of the season.Rehearsals for the play, starring Sarah Bernhardt, began, but the Lord Chamberlain refused permission for the play because it depicted biblical characters. Salome was published together in Paris and London in 1893, but was not performed until 1896 in Paris during Wilde's subsequent imprisonment.
Social comedies 
Main articles: Lady Windermere's Fan, The Important Woman, and The Ideal Husband. Wilde, who first began to irritate Victorian society with his dress and speech, and then angered it with Dorian Gray, his novel about the vices hidden under art, finally found a way to criticize society in his own way. Lady Windermere's Fan was first performed on 20 February 1892 to a packed St James's Theatre. On the surface, it is a witty comedy with a subtle subversion underneath: "it ends in secret concealment rather than collective disclosure". The audience, like Lady Windermere, is forced to soften the harsh social codes in favor of a more nuanced view. The play was very popular and toured the country for several months, but was largely panned by conservative critics.[139] The play's success earned Wilde £7,000 in the first year alone.Her first hit play was followed in 1893 by another Victorian comedy, A Woman of No Importance, revolving around an illegitimate birth, mistaken identity and late revelation.Wilde was commissioned to write two more plays, and The Ideal Husband.Peter Raby said that these quintessentially English plays were well written: "Wilde, with one eye on Ibsen's dramatic genius and the other on the commercial competition of London's West End, targeted his audience with deft precision". In the middle of 1891, Lionel Johnson introduced Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas, Johnson's cousin and then a student at Oxford.Known as "Bosie" to his family and friends, he was a handsome and spoiled young man. Wilde and Douglas developed an intimate friendship and by 1893 Wilde was in love with Douglas and they met regularly in a stormy relationship. While Wilde was relatively reckless, even flamboyant, in his behavior, Douglas was openly reckless. Wilde, who earned up to £100 a week from his plays, indulged Douglas' every whim: material, artistic or sexual.Douglas introduced Wilde to early Victorian homosexual prostitution and Alfred Taylor introduced Wilde's series of young working-class male prostitutes (rent boys) from 1892 onwards.
These rare meetings usually took the same form: Wilde met the boy, offered him gifts, dined him privately, and then took him to a hotel room. Unlike Wilde's idealized relationships with Ross, John Gray and Douglas, who all remained part of his aesthetic circle, these husbands were uneducated and knew nothing about literature. Soon his public and private life was sharply divided; In De Profund, he wrote to Douglas that "It was like a feast with panthers; the danger was half the thrill... Little did I know that when they hit me it was one man's plumbing and another man's wages.Douglas and some Oxford friends founded The Chameleon, to which Wilde "sent a page of paradoxes. originally intended for the Saturday Review." "Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of Youth" came under attack six months later at Wilde's trial, where he was forced to defend the magazine to which he submitted his work. In any case it became unique: the chameleon was not reissued Lord Alfred's father, the Marquess of Queensberry, was known for his open atheism, brusque manner and the creation of the modern rules of boxing. Queensberry, who regularly. clashed with his son, was with Wilde and Lord Alfred due to the nature of their relationship several confrontations, but Wilde was able to calm him down. In June 1894 he called Wilde at 16 Tite Street, without an appointment, and explained his position. : "I not saying you are the one but look at this and pose for what is just as bad. And if I catch you and my son again in a public restaurant, I will beat you", to which Wilde replied: "I don't know what the Queensberry rules are, but Oscar Wilde's rule is to shoot in the eye". His description in De Profundis was less triumphant: "It was when your father ... stood in my Tite Street library in an epileptic frenzy, waving his little hands in the air and uttering every obscene word his wicked mind could think of. . and shouted the evil threats he afterwards so slyly carried out." Queensberry described the scene only once, saying that Wilde "showed him a white pen," implying that he had acted cowardly. Although Wilde caught himself. for trying to keep his cool, Wilde found himself entering a vicious family feud. He didn't want to put up with Queensberry's insults, but he knew that confronting him could lead to disaster if his relationship was revealed in public.
The Grave of Being Earnest Main article: The Grave of Being Earnest. Wilde's final play returns to the theme of identity change: the play's two protagonists engage in "bunny" (keeping surrogates in town and country), allowing them avoid Victorian social mores. Earnest is even lighter in tone than Wilde's earlier comedies. Although their characters often rise to serious topics in moments of crisis, Earnest lacks the hitherto accepted Wildean characters: there is no "woman with a past", the main men are not malevolent or cunning, only idle and idealistic young women. not so innocent. Set mostly in a living room, Earnest is almost entirely inactive or violent, and lacks the self-conscious decadence found in The Picture of Dorian Gray and Salome.
