&#39;&#39;An Ideal Husband&#39;&#39; is a play written by Oscar Wilde, a comedy that takes place over a short period of time and involves blackmail and corruption.&nbsp;<br /><br />&quot;An Ideal Husband&quot; tells the story of Sir Robert Chiltern, a well-liked politician who is considered a bastion of morality by everyone he knows, especially his wife. However, an acquaintance of the Chilterns, Mrs Cheveley, uncovers a secret from Sir Robert&rsquo;s past that could ruin both his reputation and his wife&rsquo;s good opinion if were to become common knowledge. Sir Robert finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place as Mrs Cheveley attempts to blackmail him into supporting a fraudulent scheme that would leave his good name equally tarnished, and is forced to turn to his friend, the dandyish aesthete Lord Goring, to help him find a way out of this conundrum&hellip;<br /><br />Oscar Wilde was one of the most fascinating authors of the 19th century, known as much for his witticisms as for his writing. His most notable works include the novel &quot;The Picture of Dorian Gray&quot; and the comic plays &quot;An Ideal Husband&quot; and &quot;Lady Windermere&rsquo;s Fan&quot;. All his works reflect Wilde&acute;s promotion of Aestheticism.
