"The Duchess and the Jeweler" is a short story by Virginia Woolf that explores themes of social status, wealth, and perception. It centers around the character of Oliver Bacon, a jeweler who becomes obsessed with gaining entry into high society. The story reveals the superficiality of social distinctions and the emptiness of material wealth through Oliver's misguided pursuits. Ultimately, it highlights the futility of seeking validation through external appearances.
