Résumé

Résumé : "Windows" by John Galsworthy is a play that delves into the complexities of human nature, redemption, and societal judgment. Set in the dining room of Geoffrey March's house in Highgate during springtime, the play unfolds over a single day, divided into three acts. The central theme revolves around the March family, particularly the father, Geoffrey March, a freelance writer, and their interactions with Faith Bly, a young woman recently released from prison after serving time for the infanticide of her child. The play opens with a breakfast scene where the family discusses the state of the world and their personal ideals. Faith's father, Mr. Bly, a window cleaner, introduces her to the March family, hoping they will employ her as a parlour-maid. The family debates the moral implications of hiring Faith, with Geoffrey and his son Johnny advocating for giving her a second chance, while Mrs. March is more skeptical. Throughout the play, Galsworthy explores themes of forgiveness, societal norms, and the struggle between personal instincts and societal expectations. The characters grapple with their own beliefs and prejudices, ultimately highlighting the tension between the desire for redemption and the harsh realities of judgment. The play concludes with a sense of ambiguity, leaving the audience to ponder the true nature of justice and the possibility of change.
