Summary | "Windows" by John Galsworthy is a play written during the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the March family: Geoffrey, a freelance writer, his wife Joan, their son Johnny, and daughter Mary, exploring their domestic life against the backdrop of broader social issues, such as chivalry, morality, and the consequences of individual actions. The arrival of Faith Bly, a young woman with a troubled past, stirs the family's dynamics, sparking discussions about ideals and human nature. At the start of the play, the March family has just finished breakfast, and their lively conversations reveal tension around social expectations, personal ideals, and familial duties. Geoffrey, often engrossed in his writing and cynical about society, clashes with Joan, who is more pragmatic. Their children, Johnny and Mary, express their frustrations over lost ideals post-war and engage in spirited debates about morality and responsibility. The entrance of Mr. Bly, Faith's father, introduces an external perspective on the situation, as he brings news of his daughter's troubling past. This moment sets the stage for the unfolding conflict concerning Faith’s position in the March household, addressing themes of redemption and the complexities of human relationships intertwined with societal judgments.
