Summary

This quote by Irish playwright Oscar Wilde suggests that the connection between literature and drama in England has been reduced to the commercial aspect of selling tickets for a play. Wilde implies that the true literary appreciation and artistic value that used to exist in drama and storytelling have been replaced by a focus on profit and entertainment. This critique possibly reflects the playwright's dissatisfaction with the diminishing importance of literature in theater and the prioritization of monetary success over artistic integrity.
