Quote by Oscar Wilde
Oh! I killed Bunbury this afternoon... I mean poor Bunbury died this afternoon.What did he die of?Bunbury? Oh, he was exploded!
Summary
This quote is from the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. It is spoken by the character Algernon, who creates an imaginary friend named Bunbury as an excuse to escape social obligations. The quote humorously illustrates Wilde's wit and satire, as Algernon comically plays with the notion of death. He first confesses to "killing" Bunbury but quickly backtracks, claiming that Bunbury actually died by exploding. Algernon's nonchalant and absurd statement adds a humorous touch to the play's exploration of deception and societal expectations.
