Moral

"Moral" by Ludwig Thoma is a funny play that makes fun of how people in high society act like they're very moral but don't always live up to those standards. The story centers on people like Fritz Beermann, a rich person who's in charge of a group that's supposed to stop bad behavior, and other people like him who talk a lot about what's right and wrong while dealing with their own problems. At the start, the characters are at a party, chatting about their goals and what they think is moral, revealing that they're not always honest and that their ideas about right and wrong are kind of ridiculous. The story uses funny conversations to show how different these characters are in public compared to how they act in private, suggesting that something scandalous is going to happen that will affect all of them, using humor to point out what's wrong with society.
