Reading The School for Scandal | Alexandria
Read The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Skewering hypocrisy in an era of social media outrage, Sheridan's razor-sharp satire exposes how gossip destroys reputations - yet paradoxically, his most daring claim is that scandals can reveal deeper truths. His genius lies in showing that moral posturing often masks deeper deceptions, while apparent "vices" sometimes hide virtue.
