"Dolly Reforming Herself: A Comedy in Four Acts" by Henry Arthur Jones is a play written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Dolly, a charming and somewhat frivolous young woman who is determined to better her life by resolving to pay off her debts and eliminate her bad habits after a rousing sermon. The play explores themes of moral reformation within the context of personal relationships as seen through the interactions of Dolly, her husband Harry, and their family and friends. The opening of the play introduces Dolly, her father Matthew, and her husband Harry as they discuss their New Year's resolutions. Dolly, preoccupied with her bills, is urged by her family to reflect on her financial habits. Humor and tension arise as they navigate their commitments to change, with the arrival of Captain Wentworth adding a layer of complexity to the dynamics within their country-house setting. As the characters prepare for an enlightening yet chaotic New Year, conflicts about loyalty, temptation, and personal growth begin to unfold, setting the stage for the comedic and insightful situations that will arise throughout the play.
