Teacher: Hello my dear friends!

I think you are all right, aren't you?

Today we are going to speak about one of the main problems nowadays: family and family happiness. Many writers touched this theme in their best works and that's why it is still the issue of the day.

Very soon you'll graduate from our school and everybody will have own families. And I think it will be useful to chance our opinions about this topic.

Not long ago we have learned some plays and stories by O. Wilde. So, today we sum up his creative work. You'll see some scenes from his best play "An Ideal Husband". Here the author also shows the relations in the family, their difficulties and joys. But in spite of this the family of Sir Robert Chiltern remains. I want you to discuss some questions after your seeing these scenes.

You know that O. Wilde is the master of paradoxes; they are still alive in our life. Let's listen to his biography, what he was well - known for.

 Compere:

Oscar Fingle O. Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854, the son of a brilliant surgeon and a poetess. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and then at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he won the Newtigate prize for Poetry. He became the leader of an aesthetic movement and was famous for the brilliance of his wit and conversation - qualities mate permanent in such plays as "Lady Windermere's Fan" and "The Importance of Being Earnest".

It was O. Wilde who put forward "art for art's sake" theory. He is the author of four plays: "Lady Windermere's Fan", "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband", and "The Importance of Being Earnest".

He is the author of some poetical tales, such as: "The Rose and the Nightingale", "The Happy Prince", "The Devoted Friend", "The Selfish Giant".

          He is also the author of the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". O. Wilde did not raise any social problems in his works. His characters are all people of the upper classes. The upper class characters, good or bad, more about gracefully exchange witty phrases; they are engaged in clever and refined conversation, even if it is about a scheme how to rob their government. Even those marks by O. Wilde that possess some social problems have an air of being away from reality.

"An Ideal Husband" was written in 1895. It is a comedy revealing the corruption of a statesman who uses his official position of to enrich himself. Sir Robert Chiltern has mode his fortune by selling a government secret to foreign banker who paid him handsomely for it. He makes a brilliant political career.

The interesting plot of O. Wilde's plays and his humour help the plays to stay on the stages of the theatres for more than 90 years.

O. Wilde is a master of paradoxes:  

- Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.

- Fashion is what one wears oneself what is unfashionable is what other people wear.

- To love one is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

(From "An Ideal Husband")

  Teacher suggests to and introduces the actors.

 See some scenes: Room at Sir Chiltern’s house

Mrs. Marchmont: Going on to the Hartlocks' tonight, Olivia?

Lady Basil: I suppose so. Are you?

Mrs. March: Yes. Hombly tedious parties they give don't them?

Lady Basil: Horribly tedious. Never know why I go. Never know why

I go any where.

Mrs. March: I come here to be education.

Lady Basil: Ah! О hates being educated!

Mrs. March: So do I. If put one almost on a lever with the commercial classes, doesn't it? But dear Gertrude Chiltern is always telling me that I should have some serious purposes in life. So I come here to try to find one.

Lady Basil: I don't see anybody here tonight what one could possibly call a serious purpose. The man who took me in to dinner talked to me about his wife the whole time.

Mrs. Marsh: How very trivial of him!

Lady Basil: Terribly trivial! What did your man talk about?

Mrs. Marsh: About myself.

Lady Basil: And were you interested?

Mrs. March: (Shaking her head). (They rise and go towards the door). Mason (announcing guests)

Lord Caversham.

Lord Cavers: Good evening, Lady Chiltern! Has my good - for -

nothing young son been here?

Lady Chilt: (smiling) I don't think Lord Goring has arrived yet.

Mabel: (coming up to Lord Cavershaw). Why do you call Lord Goring

good - for - nothing?

Lord Cavers: Because he leads such anidle life.

Mabel: How can you say such a think? Why, he rides in the Row at 10

o'clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a

week, chanqes his clothes at least five times a day, and

dines every night of the season. You don't call that leading

an idle life, do you?

Lord Cavers: You are a very charming young Lady!

Madel: How sweet of you to say such thing, Lord Cavershan. Do

come to us more often. You know we are always at home

on Wednesdays, and you look so well with your star!

Lord Cavers: Never go anywhere now. Sick of to London Society.

Madel: Oh, I love London society! I think it has immensely improved.

It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant

lunatics. Just what Society should be?

Lord Cavers: Hum! Which is Goring? Beautiful idiot, or the other

thing?

Madel: I have been obliged for the present to put Lord Going into a

class quite by himself. But he is developing charmingly.

Lord Cavers: Into what?

Madel: I hope to let you know very soon, Lord Caversham.

Mason (announcing guests)

Lady Markdy, Mrs. Cheveley.

Lady Mar: Good evening, dear Gertrude. So kind of you to let me

drink my friend, Mrs. Cheveley. Two such charming

women should know each other!

Lady Chil: I think Mrs. Cheveley and I have met before. I did not

know she had married a second time.

Lady Mar: Ah, nowadays people marry as often as they can, don't

they? It is almost fashionable. Mrs. Chev: (playing with her fan).

But have we already met before, Lady Chiltern? I can't

remember where. I have been out of England for so long.

Lady Chil: We were Gt school together, Mrs. Cheveley.

Mrs. Chev: Indeed? I have forgotten all about my schooldays. I have a

value impression that they were detestable.

Lady Chil: (coldly) I am not surprised!

Mrs. Chev: (in her sweetest manner). Do you know I am quite looking

forward to meeting your clever husband, Lady Chiltern?

Since he has been at the Foreign office, he has been so

much talked of in Vienna.

Lady Chil: I hardly think there will be much in common between you

and my husband, Mrs. Cheveley! (Moves away).

Mrs. Chev: Good evening, Lord Goring!

Goring: I am glad you have called. I am going to give you some

advice.

Chev: Oh! Pray don't. One should give a woman anything that she

can't wear in the evening.

Gor: You have come here to sell me R. Chilterns letter, haven't you?

Chev: To offer it to you on conditions. How did you guess that?

Gor: Because you haven't mentioned the subject. Have you got it with

you?

Chev: (sitting down)

Oh, no! A well - made dress has no pockets.

Gor: What is the price for it?

Chev: How absurdly English you are. The English think that a

cheque-book can solve every problem in life. Why, my

                     dear Arthur, I have very much more money than you have,

and quite as much as Robert Chiltem has got hold of.

Money is not what I want.

Gor: What do you want then, Mrs. Cheveley?

Chev: Why don't you call me Laura?

Gor: I don't like the name.

Chev: You used to adore it.

Gor: Yes, that's why.

Chev: Arthur, you loved me once.

Gor: Yes.

Chev: And you asked me to be your wife.

Gor: That was the natural result of my loving you.

Chev: And you threw me over became you saw or said you saw, poor

     old Lord Mortlake trying to have a Hirtation with me in the

  conservatory. At that time I was poor, you were rich.

Gor: Quite so. That is why you pretended to love me.

Chev: I loved you, Arthur.

Gor: My dear. Mrs. Cheveley, you have always been far too clever to know anything about love.

Chev: I did love you. And you loved me you know you loved me; and love is a very wonderful thing. I am tired of living abroad. I want to come back to London I want to have a charming house here. And so, on the morning of the day you marry me, I will give you Robert Chiltern's letter. That is my offer. I will give it to you now, if you promise to marry me.

Gor: Now?

Chev: (smiling) Tomorrow.

Gor: Are you really serious?

Chev: Yes, quite serious.

Gor: I should make you a very bad husband.

Chev: (after a pause).

Then you are going to allow your greatest friend, Robert Chiltern, to be ruined rather than marry someone who really has attractions left. You admit it was romantic, don't you? For the privilege of being your wife I was ready to surrender a great prize, you decline. Very well. If Sir R. Chiltern doesn't uphold my Argentine scheme, I expose him.

Gor: You mustn't do that. If would be vile, horrible, unfamous.

Chev: (shaking her shoulders).

Oh. Don't use big words. They mean so little. I offered to sell Robert Chiltern a certain thing. If he won't pay me my price, he will have to play the world a greater price. There is no more to be said. I must go Good - bye. Won't you shake hands?

Gor: With you? No. Your transaction with Robert Chiltern may pass as a loath some commercial transaction; but you seem to have forgotten that you went this afternoon to the house of one of the most noble and gentle women in the world to degrade her husband in her eyes, to try and kill her love for him, and, it may be, spoil her soul. That I can't forgive you. That was horrible. For that there can be no forgiveness.

Teacher: Thank you very much, my boys and girls. You're played like real actors. So now, let's change your opinions. Here are some problems on our topic. Let's discuss them.

1. What is a happy family in your opinion?
2. What is necessary to think over before marriage?
3. Who must keep house (bring up children) in a family?
4. Does a family need a leader? Why?
5. Should a young couple receive help from parents and other
   relatives? What kind of help?
6. Your ideal wife.
7. Your ideal husband.
8. Say how you consider the following situation: the professional
   level of the wife is higher than that of the husband.
9. Quite often young people write to newspapers asking whether there
   is an optimal model of behaviour for two people who love each
   other. What is your opinion?

(Учащиеся обмениваются мнениями).

Teacher. Very nice. Today we have spoken about family happiness. You were the spectators of some scenes from the play “An Ideal Husband” written by O. Wilde you showed me the knowledge of the creative work of the author. I hope, it will be useful in your future life. Good luck to you!
