Scorn of Women

- Jack London

Scorn of Women is a delightful play filled with comedy, slapstick, mistaken identities, good intentions, drama, action, and a wonderfully emotional ending. The play focuses on the feeling of disdain of a Greek dancer, Freda Moloof. She speaks perfect English but with a slight touch of a foreign accent and is a beautiful young woman whose name remains famous among men. The story is filled with amusing characters like a brave king with childish emotions, a wealthy and adventurous Hungarian, a special agent, etc. It also involves several side characters like dog-punchers, miners, Indians, mounted police, and clerks that add to the play's success.
