| Summary | "Justice" by John Galsworthy is a play written in the early 20th century. The drama revolves around the themes of morality, law, and social justice, focusing on the struggles of a young clerk, William Falder, who becomes embroiled in a criminal case involving forgery and the reasons behind his actions. The opening introduces several key characters, including solicitors James and Walter How, along with supporting figures from the legal and prison systems. At the start of the play, we find ourselves in the office of solicitors James and Walter How. The atmosphere is tense as the managing clerk, Cokeson, engages in mundane tasks while dealing with an unexpected visit from Ruth Honeywill who seeks out Falder. Their interactions hint at a troubled past involving Falder and Ruth, revealing her desperate situation with an abusive husband. As conflict escalates, Falder is depicted as a man on the edge, struggling with both his moral choices and personal turmoil, ultimately leading to the illegal act of altering a cheque in hopes of securing a future with Ruth. The stage is set for a gripping exploration of justice and its implications on individual lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
