The Dead Secret Wilkie Collins English
Early Collins, so the machinery creaks a bit and you'll likely guess the secret before Rosamond does, but that's not really the point. You read it for poor trembling Sarah Leeson, for Uncle Joseph and his little Mozart music box, and for that sealed-up Myrtle Room pulling everyone toward it.
The Way of the World William Congreve English
The plot is a tangle (everyone agrees, don't fight it), but you read this for Mirabell and Millamant bargaining over marriage like two lawyers who happen to be in love. If you like your romance conducted entirely through wit, this is the good stuff.
The Wild Duck Henrik Ibsen English
You get a darkly funny, claustrophobic family drama where Gregers Werle’s hunger for absolute truth collides with Hjalmar Ekdal’s comforting self-deceptions. The wild duck in the attic feels oddly central, and the play keeps asking whether honesty heals people or simply gives suffering a cleaner name.
