Summary "Michael and His Lost Angel: A Play in Five Acts" by Henry Arthur Jones is a dramatic work written in the late 19th century. The play explores complex themes of morality, temptation, and the interplay between mundane life and spiritual aspirations. The protagonist, Reverend Michael Feversham, grapples with the conflicting influences of duty, love, and his own ascetic ideals as he encounters the flirtatious and morally ambiguous Audrie Lesden. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the tension within Michael’s character as he deals with his parishioners and their struggles, particularly the case of a young girl, Rose Gibbard, who has been ruined by a man. Michael’s insistence on public confession as a means of redemption reveals his own rigid moral standards. Simultaneously, Audrie enters the scene with a provocative air; she displays a desire to engage with Michael in a spiritual and sensual manner. Their interactions set the stage for a deeper exploration of personal desires contrasted against societal expectations and religious duty. The opening portion presents a rich tapestry of emotional and moral dilemmas that will likely resonate with readers who appreciate character-driven drama.
