Abstract The paper aims to study Charles Dickens' play ‘Is she His wife?’ This is an illustration of hypocrisy, selfishness of Victorian time. Here, it is found that people practice ennui and boredom in their personal life. They pretend their feelings in vital relationship. The source of real pleasure vanishes from the life of Victorian people. Every one was trying to achieve materialistic satisfaction that is momentary. Dickens' criticises the wicked world in which norms & values of life disappeared. He has voiced it in his play. The play has characters like Mr. Alfred Lovetown & Mrs. Lovetown, Mr. Peter Limbury & Mrs. Limbury. This married couple feels unhappiness after a few months of their marriage.

The tiresome and boring picture of married pairs are happened throughout the play. Some examples of confusing strata of living are also found, but the pair resolves everything and tries to reget happiness.
