| Abstract: |
John Galsworthy, a celebrated Edwardian playwright, novelist, and social commentator, bridged the values of the late Victorian era with the emerging complexities of his contemporary society. His incisive critiques of social and economic injustices — particularly regarding the poor and dispossessed — remain strikingly relevant today. This paper examines Galsworthy's major plays—The Silver Box (1906), Strife (1909), Justice (1910), Loyalties (1922), The Skin Game (1920), and The Fugitive (1913)—which boldly illustrate the poverty and social injustice prevalent in industrializing England. Through his characters, Galsworthy portrays the strength of the struggle for dignity in a class-ridden society and the moral challenges faced when evil prevails. His works dramatize the social and ethical implications of economic injustice, showing how it strips individuals of dignity, responsibility, and humanity. Galsworthy offers a nuanced, emotionally layered portrayal of poverty, focusing not only on material deprivation but also on its psychological and moral consequences. By highlighting the shortcomings of the legal system, the apathy of the affluent, and the resilience of the human spirit, Galsworthy critiques his society and explores humanity's universal craving for respect and justice. This paper concludes that Galsworthy's plays serve as a timeless source of inspiration, uncovering forgotten narratives that only theater can bring to light. |
