“An ideal Husband” by Oscar Wilde: Review

This book could have been really amazing if it wasn't for it happy ending which ruined everything.

Mrs Cheveley and Lord Goring deserved to be together (page 55 to 59), they have an incredible dynamic/chemistry. Even Sir Robert Chiltern agrees to this "You are well suited to each other". I really didn't see coming his affection for Miss Mabel Chiltern, that was absurd (page 67, 68) and even Sir Robert Chiltern agrees to it, "Arthur cannot bring Mabel the love that she deserves."

Until this point, I'm still wondering the morality of the story (page 78). At least Les liaisons dangereuses is far more better and ended way better.

The book is full sarcasm, with surreal conversations.

Also, why introduce Vicomte de Nanjac at the beginning of the story to never hearing from him ever again (page 4)?

It is said at page viii that "The action of the play is completed within twenty-four hours", but at page 71, Sir Robert Chiltern said "For two days I have been in terror". Consequently the action of the play took place during forty-two hours (2 full day). So there is something wrong.

Here a passage that described Lord Goring to perfection, "Why, he rides in the Row at ten o'clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes hi clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you? (page 2)" and the other one at page 7, "Thirty-four, but always says he is younger. A wellbred, expressionless face. He is clever, but would not like to be thought so. A flawless dandy, he would be annoyed if he were considered romantic. He plays with life, and is on perfectly good terms with the world. He is fond of being misunderstood. It gives him a post of vantage." (A modern Andréa - Hell)

Mrs Cheveley is "a genius in the daytime and a beauty at night", Lord Goring's words. I like Mrs Cheveley's mind too, trying to blackmail Sir Robert Chiltern in order to get what she wants (page 15-16). She is so damn cunning. At page 26, I thought she was a spy, but I was wrong. There is one thing I didn't understand, it's Mrs Cheveley's relationship with Baron Arnheim (page 52).

Poor Lady Chiltern, jealous (page 20) and naive (page 23 and 43), and of course she is discovered everything and react poorly (page 30).  

The title "Ideal (husband)" is mentioned at page 22, 43 and 48.

The mystery of the diamant bracelet is revealed at page 60. And I thought innocently that Lord Goring gifted her the bracelet, oh wrong of me.

At the end (page 75), Lord Goring is using Mrs Cheveley's tactics to obtain what he wants. But when he does it, it's ok, nevertheless when Mrs Cheveley's does it it is wrong. Shame.

Beautiful quotes: - Page 1: "Horribly tedious! Never know why I go. Never know why I go anywhere." - Page 3: "Oh, I love London Society! I think it has immensely improved. It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics. Just what Society should be." - Page 5: "Oh! Mrs Cheveley goes everywhere there, and has such pleasant scandals about all her friends." - Page 6: "To attempt to classify you, Mrs Cheveley, would be an impertinence. But may I ask, at heart, are you an optimist or a pessimist? Those seem to be the only two fashionable religions left to us nowadays." & "Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are." - Page 16: "I will give you any sum of money you want. Even you are not rich enough, Sir Robert, to buy back your past. No man is." - Page 17: "English men always get romantic after a meal, and that bores me dreadfully." - Page 21: "One's past is what one is", "Robert are you telling me the whole truth? Why do you ask me such a question? Why do you ask me such a question? Why do you not answer it?" & "I am not changed. But circumstances alter things." - Page 25: "Well, at the worst it would simply be a psychological experiment. All such experiments are terribly dangerous. Everything is dangerous, my dear fellow. It it wasn't so, life wouldn't be worth living...", "Men who every day do something of the same kind themselves. Men who, each one of them, have worse secrets in their own lives. That is the reason they are so pleased to find out other people's secrets. It distracts public attention from their own" & "Life is never fair, Robert. And perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not". - Page 28: "I am always saying what I shouldn't say. In fact, I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood." - Page 33: "Of which I know nothing by experience, though I know something by observation." - Page 35: "Musical people are so absurdly unreasonable. They always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf." - Page 37: "What a dreadful prospect." - Page 38: "The higher education of men is what I should like to see. Men need it so sadly. They do, dear. But I am afraid such a scheme would be quite unpractical. I don't think man has much capacity for development." - Page 41: "Do you know, Gertrude, I don't mind your talking morality a bit. Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike. You dislike me. I am quite aware of that. And I have always detested you. And yet I have come here to do you a service" & "In this world like meets like. It is because your husband is himself fraudulent and dishonest that we pair so well together. Between you and him there are chasms. He and I are closer than friends. We are enemies linked together. The same sin binds us." - Page 46: "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance, Phipps". - Page 47: "However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive. I am not expected at the Bachelors', so I shall certainly go there", "Oh, why will parents always appear at the wrong time?" & "During the Season, I only talk seriously on the first Tuesday in every month, from four to seven." - Page 48: "Bachelors are not fashionable any more. They are a damaged lot. Too much is known about them." - Page 51: "My dear father, if I am to get married, surely you will allow me to choose the time, place, and person? Particularly the person", "In married life affection comes when people thoroughly dislike each other, father, doesn't it?" - Page 52: "Oh! Spies are of no use nowadays. Their profession is over. The newspapers do their work instead." - Page 55: "You are mad. What have I to do with her intrigues with you? Let her remain your mistress! You are well suited to each other. She, corrupt and shameful - you, false as a friend, treacherous as an enemy even" "I am glad you have called. I am going to give you some good advice. Oh pray don't. One should never give a woman anything that she can't wear in the evening." - Page 57: "My dear Mrs Cheveley, you have always been far too clever to know anything about love", "I don't mind bad husbands. I have had two. They amused me immensely" & "When I saw you last night at the Chilterns'. I knew you were the only person I had ever cared for, I ever have cared for anybody, Arthur." - Page 58: "Oh there is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband" & "Oh! don't use big words. They mean so little. It is a commercial transaction. That is all. There is no good mixing sentimentality in it. I offered to sell Robert Chiltern a certain thing. If he won't pay me my price, he will have to pay the world a greater price." - Page 64: "My dear father, when one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time not one's own." - Page 65: "Why don't you try to do something useful in life? I am far too young. I hate this affection of youth, sir. It is a great deal too prevalent nowadays. Youth isn't an affectation. Youth is an art." - Page 76: "Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only; faith, but on one side only; devotion, but on one side only, and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken."

What a waste this end.

Bonsoir. Thank you, next.

Hey I Have to know. Does anyone else ever take the characters from a thing they like, and the roles in a play they like, and mentally cast some of those characters as actors in that play and imagine what that production would be like? Or is that just me?

[astroneatly]

Two marvelous plays from the undying Oscar Wilde. I have a soft spot for plays, and though I have not read many, the outlook for the year is leaning toward a few more of them. An Ideal Husband, and a Woman of No Importance. A couple of comedic skits that entwine various persons in gossip and rumor. People had been waywardly cast into one another’s beneficence (and maleficence) to no devising of their own.

The first play, concerns Lord Arthur Chiltern and his politics. His marriage to his wife, and loyalty to her put him at odds against blackmail which Mrs. Cheveley has abetted. She would ask of him to arrange and endorse a scheme to establish a trade route with the Argentine Canal, in lieu of the Suez Canal which pioneered trading with India. This blackmail would humiliate the Lord publicly, and with his wife- who implores him, demands him not to be persuaded. Asks of their secretary, Lord Goring, to intercept a few untoward missives that are in Mrs. Cheveley’s possession. Mrs. Cheveley and Mrs. Chiltern have a lasting feud from their school days that, seems to have made one and another despise one another. Gertrude believes of her husband an ideal husband, someone who has “brought into the political life of our time a nobler atmosphere, a finer attitude towards life,” Sir Robert Chiltern, meanwhile, decides love, more than anything concerned- is far more important than blackmail.

A woman of no importance is about a wager, about whether kissing a woman full on the lips, having not her permission, would repulse her or otherwise. What would happen to a good American girl, who is, hysterically vowed to Lord Illingworth’s ill-begotten son.

“Nothing should be out of the reach of hope. Life is a hope.” #Oscar Wilde

@just-some-random-blogger

The play is called An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wild.

The lady (Mrs Cheveley) has a letter containing... unfortunate information about Goring's (Fox) friend Sir Robert Chiltern.

Mrs Cheveley stole a bracelet from a friend/relative of Goring's so now he threatens to call the police on her if she does not hand over the letter.

Tbh the whole play is hysterical and freddie is of course excellent as always 😊

I mean just look at him! He's having the time of his life here!

foxes in the fanfare. to look, but not see, one would imagine them siblings: fierce, freckled and fortuitous with coifed copper curls that caught and kept the flame of extended attention among a thick throng. both of playful, jovial cheer -  of quick quips and japes; it was little wonder their ways were not paved toward one another prior to this meeting! and yet, wars were such inconvenient things, to delay such merry mergers. no matter, that time was at an end and both were friends of france - but then who of considerable fashion - was not? her laugh lilted like a lute, yet danced a dangerous, cunning little cue as silk engloved arm slid through. “you must take me on a turn, monsieur hamilton. you seem a man well acquainted with each room.”

Fairyland (foaled 14 January 2016) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. She was one of the best two-year-old fillies in Europe in 2018 when her wins included the Marble Hill Stakes, Lowther Stakes and Cheveley Park Stakes. In the following year she won the Flying Five Stakes and ran well in several major sprint races.

In Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series, the Fairy Queen is an essential part of the plot making key characters extremely powerful. The character Erza Scarlet from Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail rightfully earned the alias 'Titania' due to her overwhelming power being well known throughout the series' fictional land of Fiore.

Background(edit)

Fairyland is a bay filly with a white star bred in Ireland by the Tally-Ho Stud. In October 2017 the yearling filly was offered for sale at Tattersalls and was bought for 925,000 guineas by Michael Magnier(2) of behalf of his father, John Magnier's Coolmore Stud organisation. The filly was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. Like many Coolmore horses, the official details of her ownership changed from race to race: he has sometimes been listed as being the property of Evie Stockwell (John Magnier's mother), while on other occasions she was described as being owned by a partnership comprising Stockwell, Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor.

She was sired by Kodiac, a sprinter who won four minor races from twenty starts and finished second in the Hackwood Stakes and fourth in the Prix Maurice de Gheest.(3) His other foals have included Tiggy Wiggy, Best Solution (Grosser Preis von Baden) Gifted Master (Stewards' Cup) and Kodi Bear (Celebration Mile).(4) Fairyland's dam Queenofthefairies, a half-sister to Dream Ahead, did not race, but produced at least two other winners including Now Or Never (Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas Trial). She is a distant female-line descendant of Cantrip, a full sister to the Epsom Derby winner Aboyeur.(5)

Racing career(edit)

2018: two-year-old season(edit)

Fairyland was ridden by Ryan Moore when she made her racecourse debut in a six furlongmaiden race at Naas Racecourse on 7 May and started at odds of 3/1 in a ten-runner field. She raced close to the leaders from the start, took the advantage a furlong from the finish and won 'comfortably' by one and three quarter lengths.(6) Nineteen days later the filly was stepped up in class and matched against male opposition in the Listed Marble Hill Stakes over the same distance at the Curragh in which she was partnered by Seamie Heffernan. After tracking the front-runners she took the lead in the last quarter mile and drew away to win by two and a half lengths and a neck from her stablemates Van Beethoven and Land Force.(7) The second and third placed horses went on to win the Railway Stakes and the Richmond Stakes respectively. Heffernan was again in the saddle when the filly was sent to England to contest the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and started the 5/2 second favourite against seventeen opponents. Racing on the far side of the straight course (the right-hand side from the jockeys' view) she finished a close third behind Main Edition and La Pelosa, both of whom raced on the opposite side of the track. In the aftermath of the race she was reported to be 'under the weather' as many of the Ballydoyle horses were affected by a viral infection.(8)

After a break of two months, Fairyland returned for the Lowther Stakes at York Racecourse and started 6/4 favourite ahead of the Princess Margaret Stakes winner Angel's Hideaway. Ridden by Moore she led for most of the way and after being headed by The Mackem Bullet inside the furlong she rallied in the final strides to regain the advantage and win by a nose.(9) After the race O'Brien said 'I'm delighted with her. She did get headed so it was great to see her battle back... She's a lovely filly and (the Cheveley Park Stakes) is the way we'll be heading... she's a big, rangy filly – she looks more like a three-year-old than a two-year-old'.(8)

On 29 September Fairyland, ridden by Donnacha O'Brien, started at odds of 6/1 for the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse. Her ten opponents included Pretty Pollyanna (winner of the Prix Morny), So Perfect (Grangecon Stud Stakes), Lady Kaya (second in the Moyglare Stud Stakes), Signora Cabello (Queen Mary Stakes, Prix Robert Papin), Queen of Bermuda (Firth of Clyde Stakes), Angel's Hideaway and The Mackem Bullet. After tracking the leaders she took the lead just inside the final furlong and kept on strongly to win by a neck from The Mackem Bullet with So Perfect half a length away in third place.(10) Aidan O'Brien commented 'We thought she would come forward from York and she did. She's a lovely, big filly and has loads of speed. Donnacha gave her a peach of a ride. We always thought she would maybe get a mile but she's not short of speed and has a lovely mind. We probably wouldn't run her again this season'.(11)

2019: three-year-old season(edit)

On her three-year-old debut Fairyland was ridden by Frankie Dettori when she was one of fifteen fillies to contest the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on 5 May. Starting the 15/2 fifth choice in the betting she raced in mid-division before keeping well under pressure to finish fifth behind Hermosa, Lady Kaya, Qabala and Angel's Hideaway. In the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh she never looked likely to win and came home sixth behind Hermosa, beaten more than eight lengths by the winner. Fairyland was dropped back to sprint distances for the King's Stand Stakes over five furlongs at Royal Ascot and finished fifth behind Blue Point, Battaash, Soldier's Call and Mabs Cross. On her next race she contested the six-furlong July Cup at Newmarket in which she ran third to the colts Ten Sovereigns and Advertise.(12)

In the Nunthorpe Stakes at York of 23 August Fairyland failed to recover from a poor start and trailed home tenth of the eleven runners in a race won by Battaash. The filly maintained her busy schedule in the Haydock Sprint Cup on 7 September when she ran sixth to Hello Youmzain beaten just over three lengths by the winner. Eight days after her defeat at Haydock Fairyland was partnered by Ryan Moore when she started at odds for 12/1 for the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. Soffia (Sapphire Stakes) started favourite while the other seven runners included Mabs Cross, Soldier's Call, Houtzen (P J Bell Stakes), Invincible Army (Duke of York Stakes) and So Perfect (Lacken Stakes). After settling just behind the leaders Fairyland overtook the front-running outsider Caspian Prince approaching the final furlong and kept on well to hold off the late challenge of her stablemate So Perfect to win by a short head.(13) O'Brien commented 'Her best run of the year was back at five at Ascot in the King's Stand. The ground was too soft for her at Haydock and she got upset in the stalls and banged her head before that at York. You would have to be delighted.'(14)

Fairyland ran in France for the first time on 6 October when she contested the Prix de l'Abbaye over 1000 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp Racecourse but never looked likely to win and came home tenth behind Glass Slippers.
