Another of Wilde's social satires, 'An Ideal Husband' revolves around the lives of two men, sucessful political figure Sir Robert Chiltern (Northam) and his friend the uninspired but utterly charming Lord Arthur Goring. Chiltern's life is perfect thanks to the help of his loving and brillant wife Gerturde (Blanchett) and the support of his quick witted sister Mabel. Goring's life is one of lounging, flirting with Mabel, and avoiding his father's instance that he should marry. The world of these men is turned upside down by the arrival of old aquaintance Mrs. Laura Cheveley (Moore) who has come with blackmail in mind. Chiltern could loose everything including Gertrude. It is up to his wife and Goring to confront this dilemma, but it could risk Goring's chances to finally win over Mabel. As the comments and lies begin to fly about, it's revealed that the man thought to be perfect is flawed, the man with all the flaws must do something right, and the question remains: what makes an ideal husband?

仲夏夜之梦i am hardly impatient.,but this book really gives me a strike.i cannot endure it anymore.why donnot just tell us the end and the beginning.we can onl see four crazy lovers and a ridiculous set of constitution,and nothing in spite of this.we can almost see the same sentences or different sentences which show the same meaning.if i keep on reading the book. i will be perminantly mad. 拜托选为满意答案
