Sobre IBD

John Galsworthy won a Nobel Prize in literature in 1932. He is best known for writing the Forsyte Saga. Galsworthy campaigned for various social causes in his writing, including prison reform, censorship issues, women’s rights, and the rights of animals. Loyalies is a 1922 drama written in three acts. The play takes place in a country house. Late in the evening a Jew announces that he has had 1000 pounds stolen while he was in the bath. He accuses one of the other guests without positive proof. Should the host be loyal to his friend and denounce the Jew or should he be loyal to himself and follow the cues to the truth? Should the wife be loyal or tell what she knows? Should the lawyer be loyal to his client or to his professions when he learns the truth?
