"The Twelve Pound Look" is a one-act play by J.M. Barrie, first performed in 1910. The significance of the "twelve pound look" is a reference to the amount of money the character Harry Sims pays to his soon-to-be ex-wife for every pound of her worth, as he believes that she is worth less than she was when they first got married.
In the play, Harry's wife, Kate, has gained confidence and self-worth since their marriage, and the play explores the power dynamics in their relationship. The twelve pound look thus becomes a symbol of how Harry values Kate and how he tries to diminish her worth.
