Summary "The Fatal Falsehood: A Tragedy. In Five Acts" by Hannah More is a play written in the early 19th century. This dramatic work explores themes of love, betrayal, and the human struggle with honor and morality. Set against the backdrop of aristocratic society, it illuminates the complexities of personal relationships and the consequences of deceit. The narrative revolves around the tangled emotions and loyalties of its characters, primarily focusing on Orlando and his complicated feelings for both Julia and Emmelina, while Rivers—Orlando's close friend—also becomes ensnared in this web of love. As the story unfolds, Orlando grapples with guilt and jealousy, leading to a tragic climax involving betrayal and murder, driven by the malevolent machinations of Bertrand. Ultimately, the play paints a poignant picture of the devastating effects of unchecked passion and revenge, culminating in a heart-wrenching conclusion that underscores the fragility of human relationships.
