Résumé : "The Pigeon: A Fantasy in Three Acts" by John Galsworthy is a thought-provoking play that explores themes of social class, ambition, and the human condition. Set in early 20th-century England, the play follows the story of a young clerk named Tom Farringdon who becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and aspirations. As Tom navigates the challenges of his mundane existence, he becomes captivated by dreams of a better life and sets out on a quest for success and fulfillment. However, his ambitions are complicated by the presence of his overbearing employer, Mr. Justice Carfew, and the mysterious figure of the Pigeon, who serves as both a symbol of hope and a harbinger of doom. Through its imaginative storytelling and rich symbolism, "The Pigeon" offers a compelling exploration of the human desire for meaning and significance in a world fraught with uncertainty and disillusionment. Galsworthy's masterful use of language and character development creates a captivating narrative that resonates with audiences long after the final curtain falls.
