John Galsworthy's Silver Box' is a Truthful Depiction of The Sufferings of The Underdogs

Abstract

It is intended to focus on the fractional treatment of the Poor and rich in the play. “The Silver Box by John Galsworthy”.  The Silver Box covers a social mockery of unfair social partiality. The play is a plea for compassion and kindness for the poor who perpetually suffer. It accuses society of its opposing treatment of two men, Jack, and Jones, the one belonging to the prosperous section and the other to the vertically differing. The law which is equal for all is callous and unfair towards the weaker section. The purpose of this paper is to portray both the characters with all their doings. However, both the characters are found similarly mortified in the play, then the role of prosperity and social status in the court which makes Jack a respectable gentleman and the unhappily poor Jones guilty. This paper highlights the command of Galsworthy in depicting the reality of the 20th century English society and the Legal system and creating the audience to be the real judges between Jack and Jones.
