Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble serve as comedic foils in The Importance of Being Earnest, providing comic relief and adding to the overall humor of the play. Miss Prism, the governess, embodies the typical Victorian prim and proper woman, while Dr. Chasuble, the clergyman, represents the strict moral code of the time. Both characters heighten the absurdity of the situations and play a role in the witty dialogue and misunderstandings that occur throughout the play.
