Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde
“In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." Lady Windermere's Fan, 1891
This play by Oscar Wilde is often sub-titled 'A Play About A Good Woman' it tells the story of Lady Windermere a young woman with a strong moral code who suspects her husband is having an affair with a Mrs. Erlynne. When this same woman is invited to her own birthday party by her husband she is tempted to have her own affair with an admirer. This is a satire about marriage and morals in Victorian society and Wilde uses the plot to show how shallow strict moral rules really are.
