It delves into themes of marriage, trust, social conventions, and the complexities of human relationships. The story centers around Lady Windermere, whose marriage is put to the test when rumors spread about her husband’s association with the infamous Mrs. Erlynne.
The play opens with Lady Windermere in her morning room, preparing for her birthday party. During a conversation with Lord Darlington, her strong moral convictions and concerns about men’s behavior are revealed. Shortly after, the Duchess of Berwick arrives and shares shocking gossip about Lady Windermere’s husband being closely connected to Mrs. Erlynne.
As the story progresses, Lady Windermere becomes increasingly anxious and confused about her husband’s loyalty.

Thus begins a tense exploration of marriage, trust, and the societal pressures that influence personal choices.
