Act 2 of "An Ideal Husband" by Oscar Wilde focuses on the revelation of Mrs. Cheveley's blackmail plot and the impact it has on the characters.

In this act, Mrs. Cheveley reveals to Sir Robert Chiltern that she has a letter that proves he made a fortune through insider trading and she threatens to make the letter public if he does not support a fraudulent scheme in Argentina. Sir Robert is torn between his desire to maintain his reputation and his loyalty to his friend, Lord Goring, who warns him against compromising his principles.

Meanwhile, Lady Chiltern struggles with the realization that her husband is not the perfect man she thought he was. She confronts him about his past actions and is devastated by his confession. However, she ultimately forgives him and supports him in his decision to tell the truth and face the consequences of his actions.

The act ends with Sir Robert publicly admitting to his wrongdoing and accepting the consequences, while Mrs. Cheveley is exposed as a fraud and leaves in disgrace. The characters are left to reflect on the importance of honesty and integrity in their personal and public lives
