Every Man In His Humor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789358592825)

A well-known English playwright and poet of the 17th century, Ben Jonson wrote the humorous drama "Every Man in His Humour." The play, which is set in London, has a varied ensemble of individuals in a number of hilarious and sarcastic scenarios. A character's "humour," which refers to their major personality attribute or temperament, differs depending on who they are. Jonson expertly captures the follies and eccentricities of human nature via clever conversation, mistaken identities, and humorous miscommunications. The comedy "Every Man in His Humour" makes fun of the social mores, ambitions, and pretenses of the day. It paints a realistic and engaging picture of Elizabethan life, complete with recognizable class distinctions, efforts to assimilate, and social mobility. The drama examines themes of self-discovery, change, and the negative effects of having lofty goals and aspirations. It illustrates the absurd results that occur when people attempt to change who they are in order to fit in, which eventually results in mayhem and bewilderment. "Every Man in His Humour" is an important work of English literature that demonstrates Ben Jonson's skill for character development, razor-sharp humor, and social satire.
