"Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" tells the tale of a young aristocrat who learns from a fortune teller that he is destined to commit murder. Rather than resigning himself to fate, Lord Arthur becomes fixated on fulfilling this prophecy. In a darkly humorous and satirical exploration of fate, morality, and the absurdities of high society, he seeks to carry out the murder to ensure his future happiness. The story blends themes of duty and desire with Wilde's characteristic wit, ultimately illuminating the absurdity of trying to control one’s destiny while critiquing societal expectations and the nature of identity.
