Zuleikthe Dobson occurs as spectacularly beautiful young lady, a confessedly femme fatale, who occurs as conjurer by profession. Zuleika manages to benefit entrance to the privileged, everthing-male domain of Oxford University when she visits her grandfather, a Warder of Judas College ( according to Merton College, Oxford, Beerbohm's alma mater). There she entices all the men around college using her looks; even so, when she feels that she just can not love anyone unless he is imperviable to her charms, she rejects her wooer & any total of the two come caused to suicide.

This irony includes such marvellous lines when "Death cancels all engagements" & presents an evilly funny watch of Edwardian Oxford.
