The Wilde scandal had rocked English society to the core. After his release, Oscar, disgraced, hated and ostracised, had to change his name and leave the country. Under the disguise of Sebastian Melmouth, he fled to France. Today, the place in which Wilde took refuge on the Rue Des Beaux Arts is called L'Hotel.
While the pursuit of beauty and happiness in life is always Wilde's ideal, he also implies that the consequences of one's actions must be thought out and the impact of one's decisions, beyond oneself, must also be carefully considered before acting on any impulse.
Wilde cultivated his pose of 'aesthete' at Oxford University in 1874–9, gaining a reputation as a conversationalist and wit. In 1879 he moved to London, where he settled down to writing in earnest and met Constance Lloyd (1858–98), the daughter of a successful Irish barrister.

North America: 1882 Richard D'Oyly Carte, an English impresario, invited Wilde to make a lecture tour of North America, simultaneously priming the pump for the US tour of Patience and selling this most charming aesthete to the American public.
After his time in prison Wilde was forced to leave England. He would never see his wife Constance or their two children again and ended his days as an impoverished exile in Paris.

Wilde wrote perhaps his most famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) at the height of his fame and popularity. The comedic farce satirised Victorian social obligations and the institution of marriage.
