Reply to comment by ncilswdk2 in Emilia Clarke to Play Oscar Wilde’s Wife and Irish Author, Constance Lloyd, in Sophie Hyde’s ‘The Ideal Wife’ by MarvelsGrantMan136

As a general trope these days, I agree. But I posted elsewhere in here that I would assume the title is a reference to Wilde's play "An Ideal Husband".

So in this case I think it gets a bit of a pass considering the reference work was titled in 1895. It was a little before the more recent trend of "The Good Wife", "The Good Place", etc.

In that case, I'm annoyed it's "The Ideal Wife" and not "An Ideal Wife".
