Another note about Spiderman 2

Here's an interesting thought about the movie I didn't realize till I was home and thinking about it. I don't think it's a spoiler so I'll mention it here without hiding it: The play Mary Jane stars in, The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde, is based on character deception and mistaken identity, a fitting backdrop for Peter Parker's deception in hiding his identity as Spiderman from Mary Jane, and in resolving his own problems with that dual identity in the end.
