Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble serve as minor characters in "The Importance of Being Earnest" who provide comedic relief and contribute to the overall plot development. Miss Prism is the governess of Cecily Cardew, and her obsession with high literary ideals and moral rectitude adds irony and satire to the play. Dr. Chasuble is a priest and his involvement in the absurd misunderstandings and mistaken identities adds to the farcical elements of the play. Both characters also play a role in facilitating the romantic relationships in the play, leading to the resolution of the conflicts.
