| Meer info | Samenvatting Rupert and Hilda are perfectly matched; their only worries, a drop-out son and Morgan, Hilda's unstable sister, just back from America. Enter Julius, Morgan's ex-lover, determined to give Rupert and Hilda's seemingly impregnable marriage a mild jolt. He sets the stage and distributes roles amongst his unwitting cast with unnerving brilliance and high comedy … Until the last act with its final inevitable (but not altogether disgraceful) defeat. In a dark comedy of errors, Iris Murdoch portrays the mischief wrought by Julius, a cynical intellectual who decides to demonstrate through a Machiavellian experiment how easily loving couples, caring friends, and devoted siblings can betray their loyalties. As puppet master, Julius artfully plays on the human tendency to embrace drama and intrigue and to prefer the distraction of confrontations to the difficult effort of communicating openly and honestly. |
