Résumé

Résumé : "Justice" by John Galsworthy is a compelling exploration of the legal and moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught in the web of societal and personal conflicts. The play centers around William Falder, a young clerk who, driven by desperation and love for a woman named Ruth Honeywill, commits forgery. Ruth is trapped in an abusive marriage, and Falder's act is an attempt to secure a future for them both. The narrative unfolds in a courtroom setting, where Falder's actions are scrutinized, and his mental state is questioned. The defense argues that Falder was temporarily insane due to the emotional turmoil caused by Ruth's plight, while the prosecution maintains that his actions were deliberate and calculated. The play delves into themes of justice, mercy, and the harsh realities of the legal system, highlighting the struggle between human compassion and the rigid application of the law. Galsworthy's work is a poignant critique of the societal structures that often fail to account for the complexities of human behavior and the circumstances that drive individuals to commit acts of desperation. Through the character of Falder, the play questions the true nature of justice and whether it can be achieved within the confines of an unforgiving legal system.
