The Theme of the Silver Box



In this simply written play John Galsworthy describes the problems of society in England like poverty the class divisions and the unjustice of the law . He reveals the ills of society through the use of the symbol of the cigarette box . The silver box of the title makes us aware of the imperfect world that we all live in .

The English society is full of hypocrite and unjustice . That is clear when MR.Jones goes to the court with his wife . The judge asks them about the stealing of the silver box , but he does not ask Jack the rich man about the stealing of the purse from the lady . Although the judge knows the truth , he judges Mr. Jones only with a month and leaves Jack goes home .

Also, there is a struggle between classes ,the rich and the poor . The rich people controls the society by their money and power . While the poor class is suffering from poverty and unemployment . The lower class hates the upper class and that is clear when Jones says about Jack that he is a calf and does nothing . Also, the upper class hates the lower class and that is clear when Mr. Barthwick says that the poor want everything for themselves . The upper class cares for her reputation only not for the poor .

The Plot of the Silver Box

So, he ask Mr. Jones , the servant's husband to help him to open the door . Jack steals a purse from a lady . He asks Jones to take any thing he likes . Jones takes the silver box .

In the morning Mr. Barthwick and his wife accuse Mr. Jones of stealing this box because she is a poor woman . They send an officer to her room to take her to the court .Her husband tries to defent her and hits the officer . So , the officer takes both of them to the court .

In the court there is no justice . The Magistrate accuses Mr. Jones of stealing the box . But her husband says the truth and tells the Magistrate that Jack asks him to take the box as reward for helping him to open the door . He tells the court that Jack also steals a purse from unknown lady . Mr. Jones defend her husband and tells the Magistrate that if her husband steals , that is because he is drunk . The Magistrate judges Mr. Jones with a month with hard labour . The court leaves Jack goes home although he also steals like Jones . That happens because of the unjustice between poor and rich .

The author, 1906 (his first play):

John Galsworthy an English novelist and playwright, he is the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932. Galsworthy became known for his portrayal of the British upper middle class and for his social satire. His most famous work is THE FORSYTE SAGA (1906-1921), an English parallel to Thomas Mann's Bud den brooks (1901). Galsworthy was a representative of the literary tradition, which has regarded the novel as an instrument of social debate. He believed that it was the duty of an artist to examine a problem, but not to provide a solution. Before starting his career as a writer, Galsworthy read widely the works of Kipling, Zola, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Flaubert.
"When a Forsyte was engaged, married, or born, the Forsytes were present; when a Forsyte died - but no Forsyte has as yet died; they did not die; death being contrary to their principles, they took precautions against it, the instinctive precautions of highly vitalized persons who resent encroachments on their property." (from The Forsyte Saga)
John Galsworthy was born in Kingston Hill, Surrey, into a upper-middle-class family. His father, John Galsworthy, was a lawyer and director of several companies. Galsworthy's mother, the former Blanche Bartleet, was the daughter of a Midlands manufacturer. Galsworthy studied law Harrow and New College, Oxford. During this period he gained fame as a cricket and football player, but not with his writings. Once he planned to write a study of warm-blooded horses. Galsworthy's favorite authors were Thackeray, Dickens, and Melville, his favorite composer was Beethoven. In 1890 he was called to the bar. However, he never settled into practice, but chose to travel, after an unlucky love affair.
In 1893 Galsworthy met the writer Joseph Conrad while on a South Sea voyage, which he made in part to study maritime law. In a letter he noted: "The first mate is a Pole called Conrad, and is a capital chap though queer to look at; he is a man of travel and experience in many parts of the world, and has a fund of yarns on which I draw freely." This meeting convinced Galsworthy to give up law and devote himself entirely to writing. Years later Galsworthy helped Conrad financially.
