Lady Windermere's Fan

‘All is acceptable, as long as you don’t frighten the horses’

In both this play and ‘The Ideal Husband’, Wilde attacks the English obsession with appearance. Initially, Lady Windermere believes there is right and wrong, and that ‘between the two there can be no compromise.

The loss of her unwavering naivety, and the saving of her marriage, Lady Windermere owes entirely to a woman who she and the rest of society would condemn without a second thought, for this woman did indeed once follow her heart and ‘frighten the horses’. Once again, it is the morally rigid saved from the consequences of their actions by those who understand the complexities and contradictions of the human spirit.
