"Lord Arthur Savile's Crime", apparently light and even frivolous in tone, combines a mastery of farce with a subtle desecration of late Victorian conventions. At a party, Lord Arthur is told by a fortune teller that he will commit murder! Lord Arthur is horrified by this revelation, but soon he becomes convinced that killing someone is his moral duty, and that he needs to commit this murder at once, before his marriage. So, first he postpones his wedding; then, he looks over the list of his friends and relatives to see who could be the most convenient person to sacrifice to fulfill his destiny.
