520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc A Woman of No Importance is a four-act play that satirizes Victorian society's rigid moral codes, particularly regarding women. The plot revolves around Mrs. Arbuthnot, a seemingly unassuming woman with a secret past, and her son, Gerald. Gerald is offered a prestigious position as secretary to the influential Lord Illingworth, a charming and witty man.<br/><br/>As the play unfolds, it is revealed that Lord Illingworth is Gerald's father, who abandoned Mrs. Arbuthnot years ago, leaving her to raise their son in shame and isolation. When Mrs. Arbuthnot refuses to allow Gerald to work for his father, the truth slowly comes to light, exposing Lord Illingworth's past callousness and Mrs. Arbuthnot's long-suffering dignity. The play explores themes of hypocrisy, social standing, reputation, forgiveness, and the double standards applied to men and women in Victorian England. Ultimately, Mrs. Arbuthnot chooses to protect her son's future and her own peace of mind, rejecting the society that once condemned her.
