What readers are saying

Readers find The Rules of the Game explores the complex nature of honour and its manipulative aspects. The play delves into how this concept can control individuals, akin to puppetry. However, some feel that the theme might seem familiar or predictable.

Synopsis

Pirandello shows that by the mere act of living, the fact of existence, a man cannot help but affect the lives of others.

In this play, it is Leone who wants to remain completely out of the action from the start, but the crisis of the play occurs as a direct result of his separateness.
