Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble serve as comic relief in The Importance of Being Earnest. Miss Prism, as Cecily's tutor, is portrayed as a symbol of strict morality and uptightness. Dr. Chasuble, as the local reverend, is presented as a figure of authority who is easily overcome by his desires and passions. Their exaggerated characteristics and humorous interactions contribute to the play's satirical critique of Victorian society.
