    "The Sphinx Without a Secret" by Oscar Wilde is a captivating short story that delves into the enigmatic nature of human relationships and the allure of hidden truths. Set against the backdrop of the sophisticated society of Victorian London, the narrative unravels the mystery surrounding a beautiful woman named Lady Alroy. The story begins with the protagonist encountering Lady Alroy at a dinner party, where her elegance and mystique capture his attention. Intrigued by her mysterious aura, he becomes determined to uncover the secret that lies beneath her captivating facade. However, his relentless pursuit only reveals that Lady Alroy lacks any hidden secret; she is, in fact, a Sphinx without a secret.
