Write the theme of the luncheon

Answer 1

Answer:

The primary theme of the story 'Luncheon' by Maugham is appearance vs. reality. The speaker, in 'Luncheon', wishes from the start that his date would be a gorgeous woman. He imagines a portrayal of a graceful lady in his mind.

Answer 2

Answer:

This short story is about a lady of forty years age who is a fan of his writing. She wins the author's favor and expresses her wish to meet him at a high-class restaurant for the luncheon. William beautifully exposes the fake modest eating habits, of the middle-class people with a touch of humour.
