This is the intriguing title of our next reading. It is a play by Wilde with lots of colourful characters and his provocative witticisms. The plot is woven around guilt and the terrible fear of being caught.
He describes life's temptations :
' ....he expounded to us the most terrible of all philosophies, the philososophy of power, preached to us the most marvellous of all gospels, the gospel of gold'
and remorse
'I have distributed twice over in public charities since then'
'In public charities? Dear me, what a lot of harm you must have done.'
Wilde preferred social justice over charity.
We will read the first two acts hopefully.
