The Fugitive Series 3

Beschreibung

The Fugitive: Series 3 by John Galsworthy delves into the theme of marital incompatibility, similar to his earlier work in the Forsyte Saga. The play follows a sensitive individual who is married to a stolid and prosaic partner who is unaware of the impending disaster. Unlike the Forsyte Saga, the sensitive partner has no premonition or hesitation and is blindsided by the situation. The play portrays the complexities of marriage, inheritance, and class in society. As with Galsworthy's other works, The Fugitive: Series 3 offers a tragic end that highlights the helplessness of an innocent person caught in the grinding wheels of societal norms. The play portrays the victimization of women who choose to go against the supposed morality by demanding separation from their husbands without first ensuring a more powerful protector of sorts, such as a blood relative or another lover. The Fugitive: Series 3 is not unlike the societal setup depicted in the autobiographical work of Tehmina Durrani, which exposes the victimization of women who choose to step out of societal norms.

Autor

John Galsworthy was an English dramatist and novelist who lived from 14 August 1867 to 31 January 1933. His novels, The Forsyte Saga, and two more trilogies, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter, are his best-known works. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. Galsworthy, who came from a wealthy upper-middle-class family, was expected to become a lawyer, but he found the profession unappealing, so he resorted to literature. Before his first book, The Man of Property, about the Forsyte family, was released in 1897, he was thirty years old. It wasn't until that book the first of its kind that he saw true popularity. His debut play, The Silver Box, had its London premiere the same year. As a writer, he gained notoriety for his socially conscious plays that addressed issues such as the politics and morality of war, the persecution of women, the use of solitary confinement in prisons, the battle of workers against exploitation, and jingoism. The patriarch, Old Jolyon, is based on Galsworthy's father, and the Forsyte family in the collection of books and short tales known as The Forsyte Chronicles is comparable to Galsworthy's family in many aspects.
