Lord Arthur Savile's crime

Wilde

Charming (if slightly absurd) vignette that's a great introduction to Wilde's world.

Amina Madadi (ⴰⵎⵉⵏⴰ)

Imagine you're attending a reception where you get to meet a cheiromantist (palm reader dude), this later tell you that you're gonna commit murder, what would you do? That's exactely what happened to Lord Arthur, who's engaged to be married to the most beautiful lady in london, lord Arthur loves her so much, he decides to postpone the wedding until his business's done (killing someone) but, every victim he chooses seems to slip through his fingers.. What would become of him?
In general, a sane person wouldn't care the less about the cheiromatist's predictions, what made me seriously question lord Arthur's mental state and intellect :D
It was really funny with a lot of irony!
