A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde
“It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about, nowadays, saying things against one behind one's back that are absolutely and entirely true.” A Woman of No Importance, 1892
The play revolves around Gerald Arbuthnot, a young man of humble origins who is offered a prestigious position by the charming but unscrupulous Lord Illingworth. Gerald's mother opposes the offer, due to a dark secret from her past involving Lord Illingworth. The play highlights the double standards and moral contradictions of the upper class, particularly in their treatment of women. Oscar Wilde with his sharp wit has again created a play that delves into the complexities of Victorian society, exploring themes of hypocrisy, gender roles, and social status.
