| Abstract: |
John Galsworthy’s dramas reflect a profound moral and spiritual inquiry that transcends traditional dogmatic boundaries. This paper explores the nuanced depiction of religion and ethical vision in his major plays, arguing that Galsworthy's work consistently advocates for a human-centred spirituality rooted in compassion, justice, and personal conscience. Through characters who challenge societal norms and institutional authority, Galsworthy critiques rigid religious dogma and promotes an ethical framework grounded in empathy and individual moral responsibility. Drawing upon plays such as The Silver Box, Justice, Strife, The Fugitive, and The Skin Game, the study illustrates how Galsworthy’s protagonists navigate conflicts between social expectations and inner ethical imperatives. Influenced by the Victorian crisis of faith and the humanist currents of his time, Galsworthy reshapes the role of religion on the stage, emphasising ethical action over ritualistic belief. His dramas function as secular sermons that plead for a spiritual awareness embedded in lived experience rather than theological abstraction. By illuminating the link between social justice and moral awakening, Galsworthy reveals a vision of faith that is humane, inclusive, and transformative, offering a compelling counterpoint to the oppressive ideologies of his era and inviting modern readers to reconsider the role of ethics in everyday life. |
