John Galsworthy
1928
A collection of theatrical works likely written during the early 20th century. This volume includes plays like ''A Bit O' Love,'' which explores themes of love, morality, and societal expectations through the interactions of its characters. The main character, Michael Strangway, is depicted as a gentle clergyman faced with personal and professional turmoil, suggesting an examination of human emotions against the backdrop of village life. At the start of ''A Bit O' Love,'' we are introduced to Michael Strangway, who plays the flute in a farmhouse on Ascension Day while surrounded by young girls who are part of his confirmation class. The opening scenes delve into Strangway's character as he teaches the girls about love and Christianity while wrestling with emotional complexities, hinting at a troubled marriage. The arrival of his wife, Beatrice, adds to the tension, as past relationships and secrets threaten to disrupt the harmony of village life. The dynamics between Strangway and the villagers begin to reveal deeper social issues as the community grapples with rumors and personal scandals that challenge traditional morals.
