Wilde also uses and explores deeply the influences of both society and religion heavily in the play in order to portray both how women, in particular, were expected to act and how they acted in reality. Written at the turn of the century, however, the play also raises important questions as to the position of ‘modern’ women in a society that is still very traditional, when women were beginning the fight for their rights. Wilde explores the subject of morality frequently within the play and the conflicting ideas surrounding the topic.
